Elon Musk Was Just in the Studio and Says Final Cybertruck Design is Looking ?

[TheLastStarfighter]

I don’t know how Valuable it would be as a test vehicle unless they can simulate the rear casting. Musk said if we are lucky some might roll out by the end of the year. 4680 production is by no means certain either.

The initial design of the Model 3 had parts welded together. With the Y they did a casting. They are moving the 3 to casting. The CT test prototypes would probably be welded together, then the production casted. The cast would be stronger than the welded prototype, so no worries there.

IDK about that. I thought they were already making them just not at the speed they wanted. But of recent with more and more new Semi sightings. And most recently expanding Fremont building instead of the tent.

I agree, the casting machine is not something you can just put together, use it a few time, take it apart, move it and put it back together. At least not easily and not by yourself, usually that has to be done as a service by the company that made it that you buy it from.

Unless.. it's made by that German company that Tesla bought a little while back...

The casting machines are made in Italy

Thank you for edumecating me. Wiki stated that the GigaPress is manufactured by Idra Group from Italy. That's interesting... I can only assume the bigger one for CT would be coming from the same source.

Unfortunately all that comes from my home country are hackers and models.. lol

Idra might have one of the worst websites I've ever seen. They literally have a screenshot of a wikipedia page on their home screen.

Of course. I think we would all agree with that. After all, we have been waiting (and will continue waiting) for the CT now for 15 months. I just wonder what in what I posted made you think otherwise. All I said was that there isn't much point in Tesla showing us the features and specs of the CT when they will be spotted on the roads shortly and many of our questions will be answered through observation. We most likely won't see the great software but we will see what the interior looks like and the exterior and, maybe, the bed. People will find a way to look underneath. It will all be pretty clear. Tesla had a window of opportunity when they could tell us about the final design prior to us finding out this way (the same way everyone did for all their other models), but that window is almost closed now. Still patiently waiting...

I waited 16 years for a good wife, I waited 3 years for a good rifle, so this is where I get my understanding that I have a while longer for something worth having. And yes, I’ve still got my wife, 30 years , and the rifle 22 years. I learned patience in all this.

I understand what you are saying. Don’t misunderstand me I agree with what you are saying. Sometimes I try to say things and they may be taken wrong. It could be my PTSD thing.

The funniest thing on the road would be a Cybertruck in camouflage trying to hide what it is.

Tesla has never used camouflage, as far as I know.

I worry a bit about rear cast failing under stress in actual use.

This is unlikely. Cast parts are stronger than bolted, welded ones. Remember, it's replacing existing pieces.

Farasis, a battery supplier that makes Zero's battery (and a few other companies), has a screenshot of their website as a website.

I thought the same thing haha. Like trying to Christmas wrap a tennis racquet.

I am guessing you haven't seen many of the early web sites (including mine). The world of web sites has changed many times over since the early 90s when they arrived on the scene. I didn't think the IDRA site was awful; but it also wasn't very informative.

It' s like a home theater without the convenience of home, but with better popcorn.

My thoughts went to Nam with a GP large tent, movie projector and three large reels.
