I want the Fans, to ask Tesla at an interview, at the Q2 Report, at the Shareholders meeting. Elon has said the 9K Ton Giga Press will be used to cast "the body" of the Cyber Truck. For me that's a 60% "yes". However we need 100% clarity. If the answer is "Yes", the bones of the Cyber Truck...

I.E., Haul mulch? Lower back to 4". Raise front to 20". An easy push to dump. (4"-20" when stationary, shown on recent parents).

True. Trying to find "Edit". "Sorry Johnny. Add a decade".

Musk said 250-300K/year.

CT depreciation until 2026: $0.00. @250K/year production, it will take 4 years to satisfy over 1 million reservation holders. Thus 'Johnny Come Lately'' will either buy used OR wait until 2026. He'll pay to play.

The Lightning will be compelling for the Traditional Pick-up truck buyer. Those buyers focused on Specs will choose Cyber Truck. Here's my video on the subject.

Keep your reservation. You'll be able to resell your truck at a premium. "Johnny come lately" will have to pay to play before 2025, when today's reservations will be fulfilled.

3 point - tractor turn is My term. It combines the 2 concepts. Here's a video that is close to what I'm talking about: We've all done 3 point turns. Up right, back left , up right, back left, up right, back left... until we get turned around. It's exhausting. A tractor turn, best with a...

3 point tractor turn will dramatically reduce the turning radius. It can be accomplished with software only. I.e. hard left, lock pivot wheel, power other wheel(s) to advantage. Switch to hard right... to complete 1 cycle. 3-5 cycles depending on model = 180°.

Yes, you can't beat a dually for towing. Wide stance makes a big difference plus a much higher GVWR than other 3500s. For Gooseneck 30K #s, you need a dually. CT could handle a 19' Scamp Camper (gooseneck). https://images.app.goo.gl/NhabxezGGLxer4EP9

I've been full timing with this rig for 8 years, no sway, GVWR - 3900#. I see many 2500s towing 5th wheels, generally overloaded, GVWR - 2400#.

In addition to solar collecting tonneau cover will CT offer the same on roof and hood? For sure it would eliminate battery drain from phatum loads and would generate enough range to run to the nearby grocery store or destination charger. Sion is doing just that. Why not Tesla? See pic of Sion...

Will CT be prepped for Gooseneck hitch? Some ICE PU's are. EZ to do it OEM. See: Curt gooseneck

Few need a dually. I tow a 36' 5th wheel 4 slides with GMC 3500 Diesel 4x4 standard 6.5' bed, 4 on the ground, 16K # max. EZ. Majority of modern 5th wheels are no more than 16K #s. Just need Beef.
