📡 EXCLUSIVE: Cybertruck specs update including dimensions, seating, displays, tires / wheels, accessories & more! [from video aired 3/10/23]

Be nice to get some word on whether it will be flat towable behind a motorhome (I'm a full timer). I won't be able to get my day 1 reservation if that is the case since I'm not willing to trailer it. Guess I keep the Wrangler until something better comes along.

I never thought of this. How does it normally work? You could theoretically charge your battery this way if you needed to lol

That is what I meant.

Did @Jhodgesatmb just reveal himself as @Crissa 's sock puppet???

Well, this is actually bad news for me. 5 seats is a deal breaker....

After the last two months here in California, all I need is the ability to haul sand bags......

On my Wrangler, it attaches at the bumper on two points via a tow bar. There is also the standard wiring harness to operate the turn/brake lights and air line to actuate the brake pedal in sync with the motorhome air brakes.

Regenerative braking while towing it would be nice that way it tops itself off while helping the motorhome stop faster. I guess based on what I've read though is that it needs engineering in order to work properly since the motors are always engaged and the CT would need to know when it's being towed in order to provide cooling, etc.

I also want it because with it's massive battery it would be a massive improvement when dry camping. I have to run my generator twice to charge the batteries, a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours at night to keep the 7.2 kwh (half that usable) battery bank from going too low. Obviously I could go a week or more plugged into the CT w/o needing to charge.

I imagine, if they really are doing steer by wire they can totally enable this feature. Neutral in Teslas feels like there is no resistance and regen brakes for slowing would. be sweet. Brake by. wire. was. rumored too. I think it's possible. (Sorry for extra periods, my mac has. butterfly keyboard. and it sucks)

You cannot flat-tow a Tesla.

The motors cannot be disconnected from the wheels. Eventually the motors will overheat and be damaged.

Who knows, you may be an empty nester before actual delivery.

beaucoup trop large pour une version européenne il faut réduire au moins de 0m30 la largeur !!
on attend toujours le poids !!

Even in neutral? It's not a real neutral but feels like very little resistance. would the car not cool it when the temps rise?

You would need to have the car ON and in Drive, which you cannot do without a driver.

For those hank don't speak french.

much too wide for a European version, the width must be reduced by at least 0m30!!
we are still waiting for the weight!!
