What is your biggest Cybertruck question you'd like answered by Tesla before committing to purchase?

[term1na70r1]

What is the number one question you have about Cybertruck that could influence your purchase decision depending on the answer you get from Tesla (or Musk)?

I would like to know the safety and repair stats for this. It would be much more expensive to repair an exoskeleton than body panels and a dented frame. Also, how would crumple zones work with CT? If it can't be dented with a sledgehammer, then it wouldn't absorb the impact forces that well in an accident.

It'll compress. The outer shell won't compress as easily as a regular car door though.

Towing range, towing range and towing range. Does anything else matter? Tesla should give the first production model to TFL to do the ike test. TFL has been un-invited to the F-150 and Bronco unveil events due to leaked Bronco photos. Tesla should capitalize on Ford's mistake of punishing youtubers who are advertising their vehicles.

With Elon’s comment saying something to the effect that we don’t know enough about it to realize how awesome it is to me is pretty exciting so I have full confidence that it’s going to be awesome. I’m in it for the tri-motor and if the specs are good on the ATV, I’ll take one too. ?

I love some of the features which are brilliant, and the sensational look of it.
It is a brilliant truck for those that need a truck and towing range is not of concern.

I think its much more than a truck, I think its an all purpose adventure vehicle when its length is reduced to about 208 inch’s long.

Its size is just not practical. Manoeuverability is important. simply can not readily park on the street.
Charging on the street is also not an option.

Waiting for Level 5 autonomy, let the Cybertruck worry about parking itself, or better still go out and earn a Robotaxi cab fare !

What are the dimensions of the smaller international version ?

P.S. Oh, and will it have adjustable arm rests for the driver ?
What is the price and capacity for the extra battery option Motortrend mentioned for the
Dual Motor Cybertruck ?

Even at 400 mile nominal range, for the Dual Motor, what's practically left to use is of concern.
Equals approximately 350 miles of highway range.
Take off top and bottom 20% of charge for regular battery charging leaves 210 miles.
Take off 18% for actual driving efficiency ( externalities / conditions ) leaves 172 miles of range.
Take off say 20 % for carrying small load or small towing leaves 138 miles of range.

That 65 mile test loop TFL did was very educational

Currently I have the dual motor reserved. I want to know pricing and specs on the solar panels and quad. If they are using the current battery technology and pricing isn't too much then I'll stick with the dm and add solar and quad. If there is the new million mile battery and you can use it to back up your house then I would prefer to upgrade to trimotor and forgo the solar and quad. Got to stick to some kind of budget!

It'll compress. The outer shell won't compress as easily as a regular car door though.

The only problem with that is it would be expensive to replace, as it is one piece.

TOWING is the biggest question. I have a 8000 lbs trailer and I want to know the range of towing for a trimotor

 

[Akgolf]

I am already committed with the dual range. But a question I would ask would be pricing on the tri-motor
If it was more in line with the difference between the sgl and dual spread I would consider the tri.
For me it’s just too big a jump between the dual and the tri.

I think the larger jump in price from dual to tri is because in addition to an extra motor, there’s a large increase in battery size.

I just want to know the final dimensions. I feel like we've been told a dozen different numbers since the reveal. Got to make sure my garage is ready.

I'd also really like to know what's going to happen with the side mirrors/displays. But I don't think Elon even knows the answer to this yet.

 

[Newton]

I think the main thing I care about above most else is
Life of the battery and reliability/repairability of the vehicle

I can rebuild or replace literally anything on my pickup. For relatively cheap.
Since I plan to keep and daily use the truck for 20+ years I want to be either able to repair or replace relatively cheaply

TOWING is the biggest question. I have a 8000 lbs trailer and I want to know the range of towing for a trimotor

Based on a chart I downloaded from ajdelange. An estimate on towing an 8,000 lbs trailer with the tri-motor would be roughly:
-1.2% grade ~1.2 of normal range (500 miles * 1.2 = 600 miles, 80% of 500 miles (400 *1.2 = 480))
0% grade ~0.425 of normal range (500 * 0.425 = 212.5, 80% = 170)
+1.2% grade ~0.25 of normal range (500 = 125, 80% = 100).
None of this is certain, but it would be a good idea of what you could expect.

Exactly where does the tonneau roll down into and finally park itself?

 

[hkirby]

How much will the solar option and the quad cost?

 

[Gvardaman]

Will I be able to get it into my garage?
I have heard it will be reduced 5% then on Jay Leno Elon said 3%. Then I read somewhere that it would remain as is.

what options will be offered?
Great pictures showing a camper shell, a trailer... knowing what they are working on would be nice.

if we must affix a front license plate, where would it go?
will I need a cobalt/titanium drill bit to pierce the front? ... sorry, started to cry thinking about this.

what will side mirrors look like?

Is there a pass-through from cabin into bed area?

Are the wheel covers plastic or metal? Or even part of the rims?

Is there a cup holder inside the passenger compartment?

Is there an option for tinting for the glass roof?

What kind weight will the extendable ramp handle?
