NINE Cybertrucks shipping out! Flyover sighting by Joe Tegtmeyer

[charliemagpie]

That will be many months, maybe a year, so I hope that you are mistaken.

It will be months, I don't think a year. That part of the extension is practically complete, internal overhead cranes installed. They may temporarily add panels to separate that section from the rest of the construction.

It may take 3 or 4 months at most imo to complete the fit out in that area.

Volume production 2024. Which fits the timeline.

My mistake, I thought you meant the factory extension, not the 50 foot first step in the factory extension. I saw a new wall in Stamping 2 in Joes photos this morning, and they are cleaning the floor in Stamping 3 so they might begin digging the foundation any time.

If they do start digging a foundation there, and if it is anything like the foundations they dug for Stamping 1 or 2, then it might take longer than the rest of the extension. If the full ramp is dependent on this stamping section then we are in trouble.

I am hoping that Stamping 2 is slated for the Cybertruck and that Stamping 3 will be for a second line or for something else. After all, Stamping 1 has 3 sections. But given the focus on speed maybe you are right.

I'm NOT convinced. During the second World War, the British built cardboard planes and parked them in rows to fool reconnaissance (!)
How do we know for sure them there's 9 'REAL TRUCKS'(?)
Edit: They also had inflatable tanks to fool the enemy (!)
These are probably inflated CYBRTRK ___'NOT_A_TANK'

It’s big, internet just did its stupid thing and some butt hurt ev truck owners ran with it hahaha

It’s the widest frunk on the market

Oh, so it's a 'smiley' and it's got 'teef'

That is the fighting seat when fishing big game fish.

Or, seat to in and out of your golf shoes while clubs are stored in the vault

And it's got a verandah (!)

I see Elon is taking the WRAP very literally..

I can see Elon relinquishing his 'TECHNOKING' for 'WRAPKING'
This was my 'back-of-napkin' guess....

They must be covered to protect them from the expected barrage of sledgehammers waiting on the side of the road. Oh, wait, they're sledge-proof.

yes for hammers and 9mm bullets !!!!!!!!!! ??

The only reason to cover a CT with SS body and a door stop shape is to mess with our senses. It is a vehicular version of stretch pants. It's primary design objective is to get you on that first date and before you know it, you are married and buried under a mountain of screaming kids. Stay strong people.

They were making Model Y while half the factory was still under construction. IDK what the new extension is for, but the "unused" part of the factory (presumably reserved for Cybertruck) was huge.

Darn... I think my wife is competing for that distinction.

They can go into full production without ALL the processes being done at Austin. The extension could be simply to bring in processes that are currently being performed in other factories.

If, for instance, the seats are being made at another factory and are being shipped to GigaTexas for assembly into the Cybertruck, it's very possible they already have the capacity they need to go to full-rate production. However, their goal would be to move as many manufacturing steps as possible to GigaTexas to cut costs and better control quality.

TLDR:
Tesla can go full-rate production by using parts made at other factories. They'll eventually move those processes to the extension of GigaTexas.

Damn! I go on vacation, and the Cybertruck surpassed GM's total EV Hummer production numbers!

Dude, Bulletproof SS body can only protect you if the bullets are coming from outside.

I was wondering about crash certification from NHTSA... apparently, for 2023 model year, there are zero Teslas planned for testing.

Maybe for 2024?
