Wouldn't it be great to have some new, real CT news?

[Jhodgesatmb]

I would take anything:

- Feature updates
- Specs updates
- Pricing updates
- Exterior/Interior updates
- Manufacturing updates
- Availability updates
- Options updates
- Regulatory updates

But it would have to come from Elon/Tesla. I will still read and add my 2 cents worth to user-submitted topics but I think that we all need some real news. I do.

Yeah I think it's fair that we at least see the production candidate build at this point. Elon did mention that the design is finalized. If it is hard to produce candidates without the giga casting machine at least show us some renders w/ the final angles, dimensions, interior design, etc.

Buckle-in the ride for the next 18mos. is going to be like this…

at least see the production candidate build

that’s presumptuous.

Cybertruck undercarriage, running gear and electronic brains have been gutted in favor of Quad.
Quad motors independent torque vectoring, regen and braking on all four corners is a total re-gear.
Contoller mapping four independent motors, regen and AI workload factors went up by a factor of 2X. An entire rewrite, compile and test the new stack is an order of magnitude worth of manhours to accomplish in time to meet NHTSB review, validation and testing.
Add-in integration with eAP, FSD and ADAS looks like no Xmas next year.

Tesla likes to dominate the news cycle when they do launches. It generates buzz and gets Tesla free marketing so they don’t have to pay for advertising. Leaking this information out in dribs and drabs means come launch day everything is old news.

Apple does the same. There is a good reason Tim Cook says “We don’t talk about future products”.

- Manufacturing updates
- Regulatory updates

We do get manufacturing updates as part of the shareholders meetings. Tesla isn’t going to give a rundown on which specific machines are installed. They have given us information about the 4680 ramp though, and it’s likely once the Cybertruck pieces are in place they will say as much during the earnings call.


More likely would be someone catching a big shipment leaving IDRA HQ or the drone operators spotting the press arriving.

It's true. But when they launched the refreshed Model S/X we got renderings of the beautiful interior and exterior changes. Albeit those renderings were released really close to the launch event. I'd just like to see the final product especially since Elon has said the design is finalized.

Strongly suspect “Final Product” will be extremely similar to one of the current prototypes. Maybe a few minor tweaks, but no big updates. Tesla certainly hinted that the trucks presented at Giga Texas are very close to the done deal.

The issue is every single prototype is a little different. Some with a dash screen and a fake interior, some with 4 wheel steer and some not, some with a slightly curved front glass (fremont spotting) and other not. They are still showcasing the original prototype at every opportunity which has a pretty dramatic front fascia difference too.

Anyway wishful thinking... just want to know what the final design is. I'm dropping $100k no matter what

There is no pre-existing tooling or overlap of systems. Austin will be fresh with all new production equipment.

Within a budget, there is an opportunity to build the CT as close to ideal without compromise.

It's only been 33 months. Hopefully we get an update in the next 6-12 months. Patience is a virtue.

Here’s some real news from Musk himself.

Cybertruck will use T-Mobile and have internet connectivity everywhere in the Continental US via a Starlink connection. It uses cellular spectrum bands so likely not very fast, but should be fast enough to download maps and message people.

As I've said in another post, we need a whole new reveal night. I still feel the excitement from that night.
