    Rivian R1T Refresh (Gen 2) Dethrones CyberBeast? 0-60 in 2.5s

    I received my invite to order a Foundation Series Cybertruck. I am now torn. I see the Rivian R1T with 400+ miles of range and enough towing capacity that it meets my needs where as the Cybertruck is listed at 333 miles. I don't want to pay $16K for a bed box to get the miles up and I don't want...

    Towing trailer to Yosemite for 2 days with Cybertruck

    I do believe it is the best vehicle out there. Just very disappointed by the range. Also disappointed by the range extender as it takes up so much room in the bed. Not good for my property maintenance business to lose that space. I hope Tesla comes to its senses and increases the standard range...

    Towing trailer to Yosemite for 2 days with Cybertruck

    The lack of the 500 mile range is making me rethink my reservation. When you can't go to the boonies and back where there is no charging infrastructure it is discouraging. I know I will get a bunch of comments that nobody needs that much range from the city dwellers that never tow something to...

    I'm still getting my Foundation Series, but I can't help but feel bitter...

    My M3 is Dual Motor Long Range is the same. Get all you can. Road trips have increased charging stops after four year.

    Tesla Inductive Charging Pad (wireless) is in development!

    I have not gotten that far yet. So far, none of the tenants have a BEV. May just start with a 220V outlet.

    Tesla Inductive Charging Pad (wireless) is in development!

    I own a four plex and have contacted the power company to see if I could get an additional power drop to my parking spaces. I intend to buy a meter and electrify the parking car ports. I will charge an "Electric Vehicle" fee to provide the charging infrastructure and the power as I cannot charge...

    Fender Flares remove easily from Cybertruck (video) & satin black wrap installed

    If they remove that easily, will the remain on the truck?

    Rent the Range Extender?

    I am not in the range anxiety club but am very disappointed in the range reduction. As I have stated in other posts, I intended this to be my camp trailer towing vehicle. 500-250=250 when towing is not too much to ask for without $16K and loss of the bed space. When camping the 250 would have...

    Would you buy the Cybertruck if your number came up in the next month?

    I copied my post from another stream. Seems relative here. AWD is my target currently. As I am somewhere in the 600K range in reservation number, I intend to keep it until it comes time to make a decision. I have not seen the truck in real life and want to see it, touch it and hopefully drive it...

    As I am somewhere in the 600K range in reservation number, I intend to keep it until it comes time to make a decision. I have not seen the truck in real life and want to see it, touch it and hopefully drive it before I commit. I am reserved for the tri-motor and that was for the 500 mile range...

    Jason Camissa's Cybertruck Review Video & Podcast -- A MUST WATCH

    Helps me to calm my feelings of the price increases and decreased range. Still not fully decided. I need to see and hopefully drive in real life to determine if this will be the truck I purchase.

    Range Extender Battery Pack increases range to 470+ miles and costs $16K 🔋

    Looks like something that I should rent for the trips rather than spend several thousand dollars. Maybe I will buy one and put it on the market to rent.

    Minimum Range YOU REQUIRE to go through with Cybertruck purchase

    Most campsites other than those along populated routes don't have power. I ordered the tri motor for the 500 mile range to be able to take it to the hills to camp, not RV park.

    Cybertruck frame / casting / chassis / body structure in plain sight outside Giga Texas 🧐

    Just curious and don't judge me for not knowing. How many castings are used to create this frame skeleton? Are several castings welded together? Thanks in advance.

    Forbes Cybertruck Hit Piece: "Musk’s Cybertruck Is Almost Here. But Will Anyone Buy The ‘Ludicrous’ Vehicle?"

    I found the information regarding the tire dust disturbing but also not. We have so many vehicles on the road that the benefits of reduced emissions will out way the increased dust creation. This article if full of nothing substantial and is pure fear mongering.

    Autopilot failures WSJ video

    I believe I read that this is from 2021. Think about the changes in Autopilot and FSD since then. FUD.
