  1. Snow plowing

    That might work if most of your driving is plowing and you need only a few inches of up/down. But if it's mostly roading, I doubt you'd be happy in a tilted truck. If the Teslarati don't offer an option for a front and/or rear plow that can be tilted and raised/lowered, I'd expect order...
  2. Rust Spots/Corrosion is the Norm

    To avoid rusting, apparently the owners manual warns of the need to wash off salt after driving in it. A main reason I ordered the CT was to not have to worry about road salt. Body's bullet proof but don't let salt get on it? Am I buying a summer truck?
  3. Tesla Delivery

    You could try offering a further deposit (non-refundable) and asking for a week or two to arrange to get the balance, during which time the seller can display your CT.
  4. Cyber truck delivery if no Tesla showroom/delivery center in town?

    I've not heard of any maker that cancels the delivery charge to customers who pick up their vehicle right from the assembly line. And if Tesla does that, I'll -- well I don't know what I'd do but it doesn't matter because there's no chance.
  5. Optional Lightbar Accessory - first closeup looks

    I have such a roof-mounted lightbar on my Jeep. At a stoplight, a cop came over and told me that if I were caught on a public roadway with my "Baha light" turned on, I'd be in trouble.
  6. Cybertruck Wrap Ideas?

    OK, how about bottom half Vanta Black, and top half Vanna White?
  7. Will Canadian reservation holders be part of first push?

    Not sure about Canadian lighting regs, but do know that every printed word (labels on car, electronic display, owners manual (if supplied) -- all wording -- has to be shown or made available in French as well as English. And Quebec authorities might insist that vehicles sold there must have...
  8. Will Canadian reservation holders be part of first push?

    One school of thought says not for ages. Evidence: not a peep about prices, models, availability. Maybe Tesla is concerned about a backlash, such as over the Canadian cost, or from problems with the Canadian winter, such as range, or opening the door when ice-covered. Alternately, the...
  9. Will Canadian reservation holders be part of first push?

    Further to your last note, don't forget that Tesla converts to Canadian with any formula it decides, then adds over $1000 for delivery. To that total, Canada adds 13% taxes -- plus another 10% tax on the amount over C$100k. So I expect the C$ price for the dual to be at least $150,000.
  10. Reservations by trims and locations as of April 27, 2020

    If most of those bypassing the single-motor did so only because they need 4WD, maybe Tesla would offer a 4WD single -- in order to offer a low-cost model.
  11. Business Insider: Tesla's Cybertruck is finally coming. It's going to rattle rivals and transform the EV market as we know it.

    Two factors that have nothing to do with the product attract me to buying a Tesla. One, of course, is the ease of their hassle-free buying procedure. The other relates to Tesla's lack of advertising. With other brands, If you find how much they spend on promotion annually, and divide the...
  12. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    Question Please The specs indicate "Maximum Tongue 499 kg." I assume this means that an opening for a trailer hitch, and the electrics for it, are included. What does that weight refer to? The downward force at the tongue ("tongue weight") -- or the weight of what's pulled (loaded trailer)...
  13. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    Glad a spare wheel/tire is included. It's big, and I wonder where it's stored.
