    Purchase Sight Unseen...?

    I did it with my Model 3, and will do so with Cybertruck.

    The cost of driving an EV?

    We don't have enough specs yet for Cybertruck to give you exact data, but this website (Carbon Counter) lets you compare vehicle costs and emissions. You can tap on the points to get info on which car it is, or search for specific vehicles to highlight in the graph. You can also customize the...

    Trailer brake assist

    I'm not sure about Model Y, but Model X that come with towing upgrade have a connector under the driver dash that goes to control the trailer brakes. You connect your own trailer brake controller to that connector. I'm sure Cybertruck will at least have this, where you use your own brake...

    Example Snow Plow

    The self-adjusting works no matter where you mount it. The 9 years we've had it we used it on front hitches for a Ford Expedition, Chevy Blazer, and Chevy S10 pickup. You can find many other YouTube videos about the Snowsport, including some of mine that I uploaded 9 years ago. Unless they're...

    Example Snow Plow

    Read my other comment in this thread about angling the blade and the purpose of the Snowsport HD plough to be simple and easy to use. As far as mounting to the front, someone would have to make a front hitch for a Tesla.

    Example Snow Plow

    I've had this Snowsport HD plough for about 9 or 10 years. They are meant to mount to a 2" square receiver. You can usually get a forward hitch for most pickup trucks and SUVs sold in North America for about $100-200 and that is what this is meant to be mounted to. Obviously it will work in...

    I Think Cybertruck Manufacturing Run Will be Short Lived

    More to your point, and to add in agreement to what others here are saying, I don't think the Cybertruck makes sense for use as a robotaxi. At least at first, there might only be a few cases where somebody needs the bed space for a robotaxi, and we have to wait and see if FSD will evolve to be...

    I Think Cybertruck Manufacturing Run Will be Short Lived

    There were plenty of simulations done on the Cybertruck with wind tunnel software, some by aerospace engineers, after Cybertruck was unveiled. It actually has a low drag coefficient with the vault cover down, and beats pickup trucks and even some cars (sports cars). The weight of the stainless...

    Is this the motocycle to go with the Cybertruck?

    I think this is a better motorcycle to go with the Cybertruck https://www.core77.com/posts/20465/joey-ruiter-outdoes-himself-with-moto-undone-20465 Made of simple shapes, electric 90+ mile range, smartphone integration.

    Die cast model ?

    If the car is red and in a plastic display case, it's not the same as the die-cast model that Tesla sells. It's a different model that was originally given to the early Model 3 buyers that reserved early. They are less detailed, have lesser quality materials, and were going for about $70 on...

    Alpha Motors EV

    I like the Alpha Ace and it would be a perfect commuter vehicle for me. I'm wondering if it's stainless steel, or just silver paint. It's the possibility of stainless steel that I'm enamored with. Edit: just saw from their press release that the silver is just paint ?

    NOT A GOOD WAY TO START THE YEAR! 7K-10k?? (with no changes)

    The way Tesla had done this in the past for previous vehicles is that they honor the price of options when you put in your reservation. They could possibly force you to accept a higher price for FSD later if you change the configuration (i.e. going from Single motor to Dual motor). But past...

    Cybertruck after warranty

    There's also The Electrified Garage in the Eastern US and a few other businesses in Canada. I'm sure more will pop up to service EVs.

    "Kill switch"

    Teslas already have an option your can enable called "PIN to Drive" where even if you have a valid keycard/fob/smartphone to let you in the vehicle, it won't let you drive it without your PIN. The keypad to type it in switches positions in the screen every time as well. Teslas also have the...

    Size of rear storage and trunk?

    Jailbreak?

    I don't see an easy step by step process that any user can do being available. There's a lot of security. You will most likely have to get your hands dirty with electronics (solder wires or a header to the computer board) and flash stuff to it in order to hack it. And any easy software based...

    Naming your CyberTruck

    I decided to stick to giving my Tesla vehicles names of space ships from science fiction movies/series. My Model 3 is named "Serenity" (after Serenity series & Firefly movie) I will probably name my Cybertruck "Event Horizon" (after the Event Horizon movie) Other possible names for my...

    Jump starting others

    Tesla does not recommend that you jump other vehicles with the 12v battery because it's pretty small. I carry a LiFePO4 jump starter in my frunk (NOCO GB40) and have used it like 6 times to jump start other vehicles. I've used it twice to limp cars to a parts store (with dead battery and...

    Any warranty issue when installing my own sound system in my Cybertruck?

    Here is a good summary of what it takes to do a custom sound system installation in a Model 3 with premium audio. And the only warranty you could affect is on systems or compliments that you touch on the installation...
