… hows everyone doing?
Kind of a good news/ bad news post.
Bad news. WTF Tesla….. $100k for a F*ing pickup truck? Seriously GTFO.
I’ll let my new friend tell you about the good news.
Considering sometime this quarter we are very likely to have a launch party and production has officially started, we’re all going to be on the next earnings call. Or wish we could be.
So why not have a little play at it. We’ll have a bingo card, there are plenty of generators out there, I’ll...
This is so hot I’m going to melt.
Get this. It’s the Cybertruck. On public roads… 1,500 miles east of San Jose in Texas.
Is this the rumored 1,500 range truck? Did aliens accidentally land the truck 7 stats away? Is there something wrong with the nag systems?
it’s in Texas!
Me: I probably don’t care much about accessories.
Tesla drags out the first accessories publicly…
Me: MUST HAVE.
This is almost like xactly the sort of thing I’d want.
Was looking at some photos of the truck and noticed something. It’s been there all along, but I didn’t really think about it. The overhang might be 6-8” wide, but that’s from the rear window. The rear window is inset about 4-6 inches from the rear wall of the vault to accommodate the vault...
Assuming for a moment that there was a legitimate option direct from Tesla to upgrade your timing by exactly 1 year (or for those who are less than a year to move to the first couple months).
How much would you be willing to pay and could afford to pay? Keep current interest rates in mind.
I’m...
When I asked my sisters ex husband’s cousin who works for a janitorial services next to Giga Texas about Cybertruck accessories, she just grinned at me and sent me this link.
Pretty sure this solves all the trailering issues in one swoop.
Aerodynamic? Yep.
Can use Tesla chargers without...
New v4 Chargers are out there now.
The basic math: 1000v @ 615A = 615 kW. I think this means 500v vehicles will top off at 307 kW.
A charge rate of 615 kW crushes any other EV out there. Particularly since Cybertruck is likely more efficient than competitors.
Interesting thing is these were...
Recent video claims dual motor truck will be first. If the shorter ranger lower performance truck is first do you still buy it?
Likely hypothetical for most people since tri/ quad will likely follow a year or less after.
Pretty sure both Canada and Mexico were able to pre-order previously.
IMO this is super good news. Can’t imagine they’d restart pre-orders in these countries if it was going to take 5+ years to start getting deliveries there.
My concern isn’t with Tesla’s capability. It is that it is possible we are too late to really make a difference. What Musk didn’t say [during Investor Day Event] is that once we reach that goal, it is very likely we’ll need to start reversing some of the damage we’ve done. Carbon capture is...
When they were showing the “Unboxed” production video, one of the engineers said “Just like the Cybertruck.
Ignore the paint step, replace the storage area in the back with a huge vault, and it will look a lot like this. (Second Video)
Was thinking about when I would get my truck (again) so I thought I would make a quick plot. This is a fairly simple model, but likely about as close as any. The chart assumes production starts in June, though I do have a sample of what a later start might look like.
The baseline (blue) is...
