Mexico Pics: Cybertrucks w/ roof rack accessories (Starlink & recovery boards) and bed vault haul (spare, air tank, recovery rope)

[cvalue13]

feel sorry for those people in Austrialia and New Zealand who won't be able to get their Cybertrucks for many years (maybe never with a true right-hand drive version) and who are trying to convince themselves it won't be nearly as good as presented,

some of those people will be receiving their CT before you do

I see no evidence that these photos were intended to display the accessories Tesla designed for the Cybertruck. If that were the case, we would see many more accessories than shown in the photos.

“intended”?

whatever that means, this photo does show several accessories that will be available factory installed (only) from Tesla

and a few that aren’t

I don’t think anyone seriously suggested these were intentional marketing photos, nor that it would display the entire accessory line

So I believe Elon said it would be tough enough for the “Baja 1000” ! I would say sense Elon usually get around to proving his point ! given the time of year ….meaning the course for Baja 1000 is basic marked out for race around this time of the year.

I think they’re prerunning the Baja 1000, of after prerunning course, they could enter Baja 1000 race in Class 8 or Sportman Class, if they feel comfortable w/ results of practice.

cybertruck won’t have a problem with
Clogged air filters in the silt beds !

36 hour clock to finish the race I believe they’re have enough time to charge 2 to 3 time and complete the race.

Bay of LA has no supercharger , maybe they bring another battery and quickly charge from battery to battery or a very large diesel generator

good luck “CyberTruck team “ you’ll need it ! Baja 1000 is a grueling race and will test

If it is a one-time thing then they could take a megapack and charge off that. It would be simpler than a generator in some ways, though a generator would be [much] smaller. Tesla already has moveable chargers.

No worries, you are completely sane. It seems the sharks are circling the Cybertruck, without a rational point in the room, and trying to fool people more gullible than themselves.

I feel sorry for those people in Austrialia and New Zealand who won't be able to get their Cybertrucks for many years (maybe never with a true right-hand drive version) and who are trying to convince themselves it won't be nearly as good as presented, in a desperate effort to ward off the unobtanium conundrum. It's a sad situation, hearing them endlessly repeat their FUD, FUD that they know deep down inside is just made-up nothingness.

I see no evidence that these photos were intended to display the accessories Tesla designed for the Cybertruck. If that were the case, we would see many more accessories than shown in the photos.

Lol you are quite the joker hauling ass.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone else here on the forum, let alone an Aussie one, more dedicated to the Cybertruck cause. Let alone that of the many I have ordered, I'm likely to get my first CT in Austin TX before you will.

While you were still figuring out if your CT order was real from disbelief, I was already modelling the CT and accessories in CAD, like the above post from 2019. Unlike you I don't drag my ass around the floor spouting nonsense, simply because I do the legwork, before I open my trap door, and not afterwards.

So no need to be a dingo slinger, so stop ruffling my emu feather bush mate, otherwise I'm goin to have throw myself another one of 'em of your rump whipping steaks on the barbie! lol ??

it can be both

the forward 2/3rds of the bed floor (forward of the sub-bed storage) is an access panel to the motors/compressor/other mechanicals below

so, presumably it’s easy to mount something to that 2/3rds panel, like this tire mount, then simply re-install/fasten the panel to the truck

You speak like thats a known and proved fact. we dont know that its an access panel. Who is to say that the access isnt from below like 99% of other vehicles. To carry a payload of up to 3500 lbs that access panels better be very well supported. I cant see any mechanic wanting to work in the bed of a truck when they can lift the vehicle and probably with less than 8 bolts have the entire rear assembly lower from the casting.

I can’t tell if others, including @Administrator, have noticed the lightbar?

Finally seeing the light bar I’d thought would make it to the post title

hey @greggertruck - this lightbar is what the Velcro tabs were for (early fitment tests)

Is it stock or add on? Given the shape it could almost lift out from the top and that would address all the 'covered when not offroading' issues. But given the pic I have no idea - maybe an add on.

correct

*you* don’t know

You yourself, moments ago, we’re noting that the pack is under much of this area, to say nothing of the silly idea of having to drop the entire rear assembly to eg access the compressor and tank, motor inverters, etc.

this is the Tesla accessory roof light bar that can be a factory installed option at purchase configuration

 

[Jhodgesatmb]

The onboard air compressor is suspension dedicated. no accessory outlet

hence the compressed C02 tank for powering tools, wiring tires, etc., presumably

These sorts of aftermarket accessory compressors/tanks always seemed like the right approach to me - there just aren’t that many users to justify building it into every unit

They said there would be accessory compressor at the unveiling. If there is enough on-board power I guess an compressor would be more cost effective since it would have its own tank but I cringe whenever someone talks about Tesla removing a feature they presented at the unveiling because they could then remove anything...and range/3mm stainless are key features for me.

Then please provide the evidence other than I said so or some thread of other online "experts". I never said the pack extends past this area. I very much believe that the pack ends at the front panel of the bed to allow room for the vault cover coil. I think mechanics will be accessing all this stuff from below. And they wont burry the compressor stuff up under the rear drive assembly so i don't think access to that from below will be an issue. I think the compressor and tank will be between the rear drive assembly and the vault coil and easily accessed by removing a panel below the truck which is industry standard practice. Unless they plan to ask mechanics to squat down in the bed of a truck to work on this stuff, which would very much not be industry standard practice.

What is your relationship with Tesla that you can say all these things with absolute authority/conviction? Why not just tell us everything you know and be done with it? Then we can all bow to your knowledge and also be done with it.

I would not want to adversely impact range and I have no obvious use for the light bar other than it being kind of cool so maybe it is best as an add-on accessory. As I mentioned before, my concern is about things presented as standard at the unveiling going away. Elon is always criticizing other companies for presented super-cool prototypes and then producing crappy launch versions, and how Tesla will only improve on their prototypes, but if you are correct Tesla has already gotten rid of the compressor, the light bar, the 6th seat, the yoke, and they have shortened the bed, all presented at the unveiling as standard. So how is the Cybertruck better than the prototype? Sure, it has 4WS but that is an expected improvement given that it kind of sucked at turning in early videos. Where do they draw the line?

 

[HaulingAss]

I love to see all the images of the CT. I enjoy a lot when I see new ones but all the complain of nothing official, is such a drag. These are prototype, not released CT. Testing is still in the works. Wait until you have the CT in your possession then complain all you want. I am out, logging off. I will enjoy my CT when I have it.

One thing I've learned over the years is some people were born to complain. All the while they just sit on the sidelines and tell everyone else how they are doing it all wrong. It's not very flattering, people like the doers in this world, not the sideline complainers.

In this case, the doers are the Cybertruck development team members. They don't complain (they wouldn't last long), they roll up their sleeves and make the magic happen!

You will learn in time that you are not God's gift to Cybertruck development. But I'll forgive you because you are Aussie and can't help it. I spent a month touring around New Zealand and everywhere I went the Kiwi's warned me about Aussies like you. No worries mate, this ain't my first rodeo. ?

I don't blame you. I think that every day but my addiction seems to outweigh my frustration

 

[TL4]

Air tank means no onboard compressor. Great. But looks like we get the option for a very un-aerodynamic light bar.

Appears to be gearing up for a Baja 500 test rather than RC ready
