What is the water fording height [of the Rivian R1x]?
Depending on your suspension settings and wheel size, the maximum water fording height of the R1T is 43.1 inches and the height of the R1S is 43.2 inches.

43.1 inches = 3.6 feet = 1.2 yards

Am I the only one that thinks it's a terrible idea to drive your EV into 3' of water? I don't care if they say it can be done, I'll pass.

Light bar hookup will be convenient for law enforcement vehicles.

The CT seems to be the perfect USA police vehicle. Quick acceleration, comfortable, lots of lockable storage, American made, and enough of range for normal patrol days/nights, I think. How many miles do the police put on a car in a shift? In any event, install one of the new high power chargers at base and charge up easily between shifts. Plus you could actually take cover behind the doors when being shot at. Like on TV but real.

Broncos without Sasquatch are nearly identical to the CyberTruck at 31.5”.

The Sandy factory tour plus this review with Jay Leno make me want the CT even more. What a great day for learning more about this incredible machine!

IMO that tent doesnt fit the truck at all. I dont even think it would fit the bubbly rivian well. I think i will wait for the aftermarket options.

The software and hardware suite that vendors are already working on for the CyberTruck will absolutely blow people's mind.

Dispatch will be able to see a 360 degree live feed for the whole fleet and even patch in relevant data feeds to responding units as they rush to assist.

Can you provide any pointers/info on these vendor solutions? I'm interested in this space of outfitting a CT (and even Model Y) for emergency service duty.

I'd definitely pull over if something like this was behind me...

In this very special episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Jay is once again joined by Tesla's Head of Design, Franz von Holzhausen who along with Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, bring with them this very special 2024 Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series, aka, the CYBERBEAST! Jay, Franz, and Lars go over the finer details of the Cybertruck and also reveal some of the Cybertruck's easter eggs...





Some interesting things...

First look at the Sueded Steering Wheel option

In Wade Mode the air suspension system is used to pressurize the battery pack to decrease the chances of water intrusion. As a result, Cybertruck can drive in up to 2.7' of water with no cabin intrusion.

Cybertruck's LED Light Bar accessory can project light down 5 football fields distance. Also, the truck is already pre-wired for an LED light bar (even aftermarket). No need to run your own wire and AUX switch. You can simply turn the light bar power on/off all through the UI / display screen menu.

17L air compressor onboard

Viewers could tell that Mr. Monroe was in awe of the entire process of manufacturing SS Cybertruck panels. I think the entire manufacturing process was even more advanced than he expected.
