    Cybertruck Warranty - No Offroad?? Excludes driving over uneven, rough or damaged roads including potholes....

    Here's a video from Out of Spec reviews where they discuss and compare the warranty and wording of what is covered by the Tesla Cybertruck Warranty. Seems it offers Tesla a very large opportunity NOT to cover your repair costs should parts fail, and exceeds what other manufacturers offer in...

    How to kick your SS Cybertruck! Carwow Quarter mile vs Hummer EV.

    I thought this was funny and a testament to the capabilities of the SS skin of the Cybertruck doors: This is Matts video with the quartermile results versus the Hummer EV. Note the lack of difference with an extra four people onboard. Apparently, they needed to do a OTA in the field first...

    Everyone stay calm. Keep your order until things settle.

    Hey people! I would really like to point out that there are a lot of bits of information to digest here and that I would suggest to hold off cancelling any orders until things settle down and the facts and options are clear. I also think the pricing might be revised, but It could also stay...

    800Volt Cybertruck Architecture recap. What does it mean?

    I just wanted to post this as a recap on some discussions that we have had over months and years, before we get some actual details from the delivery event, which will confirm how it was solved. As most of us know, increasing the voltage of a EV system comes with various benefits, not all of...

    Slipstreaming EV's - A viable pathway to extending range via OTA?

    There was some discussion on various threads about using slipstreaming or drafting to extend EV range. This is when vehicles follow each other closely to minimize aerodynamic drag and therefore reduces energy consumption. I thought it would be interesting to discuss this in more detail, and...

    New Starlink terminal solution for Cybertruck?

    EM recently tweeted that they now have a 280kmh (174mph) wind rated Starlink dish that is optimized for moving marine applications. The new device is 575mm (22") x 511mm (20") but now is mounted with an angled bracket and no longer needs to track or be mounted on a pole, meaning it would be...

    Will the Cybertruck only come in a Quad Motor Variant - Pros and Cons

    There has been various discussions through this forum about which motor variations will be released first and in particular why people think so.

    New TED interviews with Elon Musk about future developments

    The first one is mostly about the effects of Optimus on earth and Mars, and SpaceX going to Mars. An interesting comment is that "1 minute" of Elon's time can be worth up to a million when doing things for Tesla. Is that video donation of time worth $60million? The dimensions of operation are...

    Elon puts in an offer to buy ALL of Twitter. [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Looks like EM has gone nuclear and has filed to the SEC to buy all of Twitter’s shares for $54.20 each – a total of $41.4bn based on 763.58m shares outstanding. EM said: “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe...
