No… it’s just meant to be a frustrating tease. We know it crashes, we all want to see it crash, but we’re just left wanting.
Thank you. Disappointing - kind of like waiting for a truck that will never manifest…

Are you actually, at this point i production, saying this truck will never make it to the road?????? Baffling.

I'm standing by my CT size prediction. It's between 220-225 inches.

I'm telling you. . . Hear me now believe me later.

the truck is not stopping before it crashes.

It is a high speed video that slows the video speed before the crash
This is what I thought the first time I watched this video too. But now...I'm not so sure. The shots are cut in a way that, in one continuous take, the CT is always going very slowly right before it reaches the wall. The "high MPH speed" shots always cut out about 20 ft from the wall, before shifting to a "high framerate" video, which is a completely different shot. That is, we assume it's a high framerate video, but it could just be a video of the truck traveling at 1 mph and stopping just as it taps the wall.

I'm not an engineer or scientist or anything fancy, so I have no expertise with which to debate the stopping speeds of various vehicles from various speeds. I'm just saying it's easy to trick the eyes with fancy camera work.

The vehicle/s pictured here are actually crashing. We're just not being shown it.
They are no longer of this world. Kaput. No more. This parrot is dead.

Just wanna point out, or connect the dots…

if they’re crashing, that press is live and that’s a truly production vehicle.
Tesla is known for crash testing pre-production models and step-up models for validation. They have their own facility.

We have been told again and again that it is…but it hasn’t. I just don’t think the technology is there yet for hauling so Tesla keeps delaying until they can figure it out. Best not to put out a truck that cannot tow efficiently. And the charging stations are not set up to recharge trucks that are towing. That infrastructure still needs to be built. Some things to figure out before mass production happens. Hopefully it will be out by 2025-2027 when the technology catches up. We’ll see. It’s a cool idea ahead of its time.

How is someone who is towing going to recharge with the current Tesla charging stations? They need to unhook to back in and charge. I have yet to see a pull thru super charging station. Can you answer me that? The infrastructure has not been set up for trucks. Even if Tesla was going to manufacture them - wouldn’t they build the infrastructure to support them? Would love to hear differently if I am misinformed.

Are you planning on working your way through every anti-Cybertruck troll/ dig/ rant in one thread? Usually trolls work their way through them one thread at a time rather than mix and match.

Elon has said a million times there is no quantifiable gain by adding any solar to vehicles. It would accumulate less than 3 miles range on a fully sunny day and is not adequate for vehicle charging. Let. it. Go.
Let it go.
The vehicle is wasting power cooling itself on hot days, absorbing that solar as heat and consuming range to just... sit there.

Any comparison to range gained is a false dichotomy.
