"If Tesla loses Elon the company will lose its drive to innovate. That's what the powers that be want to happen". End of Story

Thanks, Its nice to know new model 3 didn't get it instantly. But did it come with autopilot already working? I'm really on bated breath checking twice daily for my free month of FSD for my model Y. (2024.8.9)

I remember seeing Jay Leno drive the cybertruck down the road and thought it strange that he was weaving back forth. Then I learned Cybertruck did not have autopilot. The question this: Is human resources for getting auto pilot and FSD for the cybertruck being transferred to the autonomy and...

charge time may be a bigger hindrance for my bride. (in Texas we say bride if you been married longer than 40 or 50 yrs) But by the time we could actually order and take delivery of a cybertruck all chargers will be 350 KW.

$59,862.50

Exactly! when listning out the reasons for cybertruck I only listed those tangibles that people could understand. But fully, the biggest part of my enthusiasm is the engineering in this truck.

IMHO, it's not Musk hurting sales, it's the Tesla haters being fueled by those entities that will lose billions when Tesla succeeds.

Just saw a teardown video on the cyberbeast 3 motor version. it was revealed that the two rear induction motors are not in use when just driving down the highway which only requires about 20 HP. I'm wondering how much this helps in range? My purpose for wanting the cybertruck over my model Y is...

That's reason enough right there.

I Agree! Additionally my Y saves about a thousand dollars a year in savings in gasoline costs over the Lexus we had before. wonder what savings the cybertruck would obtain for the average big ass pickup.

Looking at the US inflation calculator a $70,000 item in 2019 would cost $85,000 but that would not include the FSD which at the time was $7,000, now its $12,000. so, 85K + 12K = 97K which is not far off from FS price of 100K so I don't see what people are complaining about. I understand that...

yeah, you've answered my question about the tires. probably should be another topic but, looking at the US inflation calculator a $70,000 item in 2019 would cost $85,000 but that would not include the FSD which at the time was $7,000, now its $12,000. so, 85K + 12K = 97K which is not far off...

Thanks, If all of ya'll cybertruck drivers do not think it's any more of a problem than other Teslas then I'm good. I have a rule: dont buy anything that will give you a "Daily Irritant". (especially for a $100,000 expenditure.) In my 1st couple of Tesla test drives the wind noise was so bad...

Thank You, I miss him too. I would love to hear what Jack thinks about things now.
