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

Of course it does. That way you can sit in the frunk while it’s driving.

After hearing the complaints about removing the center front seat Tesla is releasing the 10 seat version. 2 in the frunk, 3 in the vault.

My funk needs no technology or mechanisms. Refried beans will be enough.

Really wanted the four motor version. Proper torque vectoring would be a big plus.

I have a Tiffin Phaeton with a 8.9L diesel.. it gets about 8-8.5mpg towing a 5500lb Wrangler Sport. I don't think it really cares what it's towing (10k limit), it gets about the same MPG. I would assume if Tesla engineered the flat tow feature on the CT it would only engage the regenerative breaking in sync with the motorhome when you let off the accelerator pedal or while braking (which is exactly how its exhaust brake feature works on the motorhome and Standard setting on a Tesla). Everybody says it's not possible to flat tow a Tesla, but I have to imagine it's just an engineering problem that can be solved if there is enough demand for it (which I acknowledge there probably isn't). Why couldn't you put the Tesla in a flat tow mode that tells it to keep the motors cool and then via a wiring hardness gets data on when the motorhome is accelerating, coasting, braking, etc so it can engage the braking or not. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but I'm sure flat towing is not impossible, it's just something that has to be figured out.

Yes, Tesla does some engineering. Just because something s not in the car/truck today doesn’t mean it won’t be in it tomorrow or next week. They also engineer for things they think the majority of people will like and use. If they find out it’s not being used they get rid of it.
That reminds me of someone here mentioning sunroofs. I never use them yet they are in almost all cars. I mention it because other people said they don’t use them either.
Sorry I wondered away there for a minute. So flat towing could be a thing in the future if enough people would find it useful and use it. Much more likely if software could reconfigure the setup to allow it. By software I mean that Tesla doesn’t need to reengineer the hardware. I am not an engineer.

Do someone know if the rear window could be open ? I’d like to put my dogs in the rearbed with vault closed

As far as I know there are rumors it may but at this time it is speculation.

We most likely won't know till this summer.

The issue is, this guy is comparing tot model X. But at announcement, it was more model Y

Correct, anyone who compared this to Model X instead of Model Y like Tesla is already wrong.

Use me for your second point. I have insider information from a friend whose girlfriend slept in a hotel adjacent to a Tesla showroom and is 100% certain it will come with no less than 4 tires.

Not sure I am buying this.

Was it a Holiday Inn Express???

I cannot reveal due to the risk of compromisimg my source, but I can say it rhymes with Gilton Harden Inn.

The frunk opening Lightning like was pretty obvious when looking at front end photos of the Beta truck.

Indeed several us called out the seemingly deliberate gap on both grill and hood.

Hopefully it at least has the option for 5.

Feeling a 3.5T Rivian take a corner at 55 with a posted limit of 25 was amazing.
The 4.5T HEV is comically fast in a straight line so its not like more than 3 motors will be needed for me to melt tires and laugh. imagine a 3.25T canyon carving wedge from the future going up the PCH in Big Sur, Tail of the Dragon or the Million Dollar Highway into Ouray, CO without a care about the size or as much fear of the laws of physics ?

What I really hope does not happen is that Tesla announces the 2 first with indication of a 3 motor “plaid” behind it. Ships that to me then drops a 4 motor. Resale in the 3 motor would be crushed IMO and I of course like a good sheep would buy the 4 anyway.

I don’t think they would call the tri motor “Plaid” if they had a quad motor in the wings.

Not sure what naming will look like on the Cybertruck. Maybe “Dual” and “Tri” might stick? Then they could pump out a Quad Plaid later.

This brings up one of those weird gray areas with 4WS. If you are on a single lane road and turning hard, you’d want the rear wheels to be neutral or pivot in line with the front wheels, not crab style like when you are passing someone or changing lanes on the highway.

@Bill906 was talking about this situation the other day.
