I come to this forum to discuss subjects related to the Cybertruck but from time to time I see discussions started on political and economic systems. I made a mistake today to engage in such a discussion. In order to keep this forum cleaner, I will remove my such commentary. I am not expecting...
My understanding is that ALON has a thermo conductivity about x4 higher than regular glass. So I see no problem for that snow to be quickly melted from cabin heat. But I am not a materials engineer so my words don't have much weight...
Some say that the Cybertruck will not need windshield wipers at all because the windshield glass will be so polished that nothing will stick to it. Although I am still skeptical it will be made of aluminium oxynitride, maybe for tri-motor version only or as an option
Yes, I would definitely do it but border crossing and insurance would complicate the thing for me.
I hope one day Tesla will be able to have the cars delivered by themselves, driving in FSD.
The author of this article should just imagine that an outsider manufacturer (say VW or Hyundai/Kia) simply announces an ICE pickup truck and in one year it garners 1.5M reservations. Does this look like a struggle now?
I just watched a video about BMW i3 production and am wondering what if the rear subframe of the Cybertruck is made of carbon fiber polymer. Guess I'm dreaming but there's a real possibility for the roadster...
I am wondering if it would be possible that Tesla will use a variable-ratio steering in conjunction with the Yoke-style steering wheel, so for a full turn you would have to rotate only 90-120° in each direction and it would still be very fine steering in the neutral position. Did anyone see...
Cybertruck will have structural battery pack with 4680 cells, just because it will be the cheapest form factor to produce and integrate into a new design, every other advantage will just be a bonus.
Same form factor but different chemistries, but I would not call some chemistries crappier than others, like LiFePo batteries have some advantages over NCA.
Cybertruck design is final. Rear underbody to be one piece casting
Tesla Cybertruck engineering is done, first deliveries will happen this year, Musk says

That is for the regular hot-rolled steel (98% iron content) that is about 3-5 times cheaper than SS.
I don't have the latest data but the price of stainless steel actually decreased since CT reveal through Apr 2020 (due to COVID obviously), I believe it went up again lately.
But I am not...
That doesn't change the fact that Tesla's proprietary stainless steel will have to compete for the supply of same commodities: iron, nickel and chromium
