    It's the same height as Ford Chevy GMC Dodge and Toyota and they fit fine.

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    I get what you're saying. You're aware that this is already a problem that we all have to deal with currently but you're saying that Tesla has the opportunity to change that. I think the ideal scenario would be an external fingerprint sensor with a PIN pad. There are times where I go out to...

    What is your biggest Cybertruck question you'd like answered by Tesla before committing to purchase?

    This, and even just rodent access to the interior in general. I've seen a lot of cars get trashed by mice. Not so much with trucks for whatever reason though.

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    I don't disagree that I was being a smart ass. But I've seen a handful of people here say they have first hand experience struggling to get in their vehicles due to ice and then people who haven't experienced it say it must not be true. That's like telling someone it's not possible for them to...

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    Me: I prefer door handles so I can get into my vehicle when it's frozen shut, but I also welcome the change to no door handles Canadians: Don't ya know anything?! My doors don't freeze shut so If it never happened to me then it could never happen to you! Eh!

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    You must be from the part of the country where frosty windows means they shut down the city? There is a system on all cars, called the windshield defroster. It blows hot air directly at your windshield. That's the big piece of glass in front of your face that you look through. Now, this may...

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    ... I'll... turn on the... defrost? And use my ice scraper, like I already do 7 days a week.

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    If it's 30° F outsides then yes, it won't take long to heat the sheet metal by 2°. But the problem with this is the fact that it's common that a lot of cars and trucks can't melt ice on the exterior when they can't output enough heat overcome -30° temperatures.

    Cybertruck wishlist - options or ideas you'd like to see available?

    Haha yes, door handles are just my preference for the cold climate that I am in. I've spent many hours of my life chipping away at my trucks with screwdrivers and claw hammers to get inside. But I do welcome the no handles as well, it sounds pretty awesome. As far as the tailgate goes, I'm...

    Big stainless door handles Quick removable tailgate Independent suspension control to change a tire without a jack Power rear window Front and rear tow hooks Power port for a winch RWD mode for Dual and Tri motor Under-seat storage large enough for rifles and shotguns

    Elon: Cybertruck will not have door handles!

    It's funny to read through the comments about freezing temperatures and be able to pick out the people who think they know what cold is vs. the people who actually know what cold is. The ice that people from cold climates are talking about is the ice that forms when you have snow melt from a...

    Independent Cybertruck Drag Coefficient Analysis Yields 0.34 Cd

    Cd is independent from frontal area, or cross sectional area as a more appropriate term. When calculating total drag, cross sectional area is determined by size while the coefficient of drag is determined by shape. Image if you had two semi trucks of the same design, but truck "A" is larger...

    Wheels

    Ok, so that's slightly smaller than a 31" tire on there.

    Cybertruck dashboard, wasted space?

    How do you envision the final design "removing" space? The driver of the vehicle is placed where there is the most head room. The steering wheel is then placed forward of that where it works best for ergonomics. How much space is between the steering wheel and the front of the vehicle is...

    Will cybertruck weight mean it qualifies for sec.179 tax deduction?

    Looks like the rule applies to gross weight, not actual weight. So almost every truck on the market today would qualify, even something as small as the current Ford Ranger.

    Who Else is Hoping for a Redesign for Wife's Acceptance?

    Not me, I don't care if your wife approves of my truck.

    Changing tires without a jack or lift

    Yes, I would not recommend doing this in a mud pit.

    Changing tires without a jack or lift

    Assuming the user had independent control of the adaptive suspension, it's theoretically possible to remove a wheel and tire from the Cybertruck without the use of a jack or lift. The stressed skin creates a much larger net section (inertia) than what is possible with a typical truck frame...

    Will you use Cybertruck as a daily driver? What are you trading in?

    How accurate is the Tesla trade-in value system? Will they adjust their estimate based on condition and rust? I just submitted the VIN for my rusty old 2005 Silverado and their trade-in value is about 3.5x higher than I paid for the truck 4 years ago.
