    Full Self Driving (FSD) $7,000 option

    FSD is inevitable. The ratio of human-caused accidents per mile is one in every 460,000 miles versus crashes on auto pilot as one in 2,400,000 miles. I look forward to it. As I age, I’m not gonna be getting any better as a driver. FSD will allow my wife and I our independence way past the time...

    Full size spare tire

    Combined with a trailer hitch that doesn’t mess with the departure angle, that could work. It would have to be pretty stout to avoid wobble and metal fatigue. Probably be a better idea to have a aftermarket rear bumper with a swing-out mount. The other obvious issue with either would then be...

    Cybertruck imagined side-by-side with F-150 Raptor, Ram and classic pickup

    The Cybertruck looks too big; it should have nearly the identical width and length as the Raptor.

    Deconstructing Cybertruck’s Tooling Costs Reveal Advantages of Its Engineering/Design

    This explains why something I expected to cost the better part of $120,000 won’t.

    4-Wheel steering

    4WS would allow the TCT to make hairpin turns, and even allow “crabbing“ like a tiller on a ladder fire truck. This feature would be especially useful off road, such as with negotiating tight switchbacks on mountain roads, as well as maneuvering through older (read: European) streets. Would...

    Only one tailgate option. Why?

    There’s only one tailgate option so far. A tailgate that swings down 180° would facilitate easier access to the vault / vault floor storage compartment.

    Full size spare tire

    Not speed; distance. If things don’t change dramatically in the next few years, it’s probable I will be frequently commuting between Florida and Colorado.

    Off Road Performance

    This is my idea of going off road: And I believe that the cybertruck will be superlative at it.

    Full size spare tire

    While possible, going roof rack would royally destroy the aerodynamics, as well as block view. Not to mention trying to lug a 70 pound tire up onto the roof. The frunk is going to be waaaaaaaay too small to fit a tire. Mounting it over the vault cover would work, but, if you have the solar...

    Lift kit for Cybertruck?

    Bro - factory stock, you’ll have a sub-11 second vehicle that’s 9 inches off the ground on 35 inch tall, 12 1/2 inch wide tires. It seems you have the option to run it slammed from the get-go.

    Winching...

    It’s easy to wire a winch into a conventional vehicle. I wouldn’t know the first thing about wiring in to the TCT. Fingers crossed that Elon takes these things into account.

    Ours being a market-driven economy, if we whinge enough, they will build them.

    Lift kit for Cybertruck?

    The TCT has - stock -35” tires & a 16” ground clearance that’s surpassed only by that of a high end G-wagen. if it’s designed like the other teslas, it’s unlikely you’re going to be able to fiddle around with wheel and tire sizes much - if at all.

    What made you decide to buy your Cybertruck?

    All of this.⬆️⬆️⬆️ The TCT will possibly be the one of the last vehicles I ever buy - and It is going to be my retirement gift to myself. It will facilitate and enable the adventures my wife and I will have post-retirement. We love driving the trails in the mountains of southwestern Colorado...

    Cybertruck and Teslas will be able to talk to people if you want (preview posted by Musk)

    I had always thought this was an eventuality, although I hadn’t expected an external speaker. I expect at some point to get into my Cybertruck, and say “Jarvis, plan a route from here to our cabin in Colorado.“ *Paul Bettany voice: “Course laid in, sir. Are you ready to begin now?“ - and so on...
