I was thinking, if the Plaid Cybertruck turns out to be quad motor, good luck to Rivian. The R1T pickup's quad motors is its most important advantage over the Cybertruck.
Tow hitch option for Model Y just appeared on the website tonight. $1,000 option and can tow 3500 lbs.
"High strength, Class II steel tow bar. Capable of towing up to 3,500 lbs"
We know there'll probably be a pop up soft tent based on the image released on reveal night but I wonder if Tesla will also offer some kind of hardshell bed topper cap. The aftersales modification parts market can be a boom for Tesla if it's something they care to make money from. The...
I just have one question - when do they open Plaid Cybertruck reservations up :) More seriously tho I wonder what kind of price premium it's going to cost over the standard tri-motor. Did Tesla ever hint at how much the Model S Plaid will cost over the Model S Performance?
I wasn’t a fan at first. They looked like LEGO wheels to me. But after seeing the Cybertruck for hours now I’ve grown to really like them. They’re different than any other truck’s wheels and I already associate them as iconic Cybertruck wheels. Plus we know that Tesla’s wheel covers actually...
I wonder if when Musk made this prediction did he have in mind an entire gigafactory for the Cybertruck production already or was he thinking at the time about expanding the current plants to add capacity for the truck? That could make a difference in the timeline he quoted.
No surprise, the top 3 states (CA, TX, FL) for Cybertruck reservations are also the 3 largest markets for traditional pickup trucks. This shows me that the Cybertruck is for sure going to take a decent % of sales from the traditional automaker's best sellers and money makers.
Oh that's cool! Musta taken a while to model and put the whole thing together. (y) Maybe Elon or his web develop team will see this and get some ideas when they change up the Cybertruck site.
The level of quality of renderings, modeling and videos for the Cybertruck have been amazing. Goes to...

Guess this was a marketing department decision and not every last decision goes all the way up to Elon. Still, the Cybertruck started as Elon's pet project and is his favorite model by far so I'm surprised at his reaction too. :eek:
Hell yea it will serve as a family vehicle. My kids can't get enough of the Cybertruck and get excited everytime they see it as my desktop wallpaper. They don't know it yet but I've bought each one of them the 1:64 RC Cybertruck for their birthdays. I can't wait to pull up to school and drop...
If Musk delivers on all these towing software features, it will really upend the pickup market. At least for short range towing. Long range will still be hard to beat ICE pickups on, for now.
I know that the general held notion is that more motors and longer range results in best resale value. Has anyone come across any research/article about Model S, X, 3 resale values and how much higher resale in general you see from the higher spec'd models? I'd be interested in reading this. Thanks.
I like that the Cybertruck updates from Musk so far haven't signaled much is changing between the concept and the production Cybertruck.
I wonder though if by mentioning the upper laser blade lights specifically without mentioning the laser blade headlights, it means that either 1) the laser...
@CYBRTRKDRIVER Please add a clock counting down the time! Also it would be nice to have a "Live" thread during the event for us to share our thoughts. Thank you for creating this website!

It would be nice to see the bed having capability to self level when parked. It would be possible with air suspension and good ground clearance, which I am quite sure the truck will be equipped with.
@NorCalAthlete Looks like it will have Full-Size capabilities with Mid-Size length. It makes...
