Since it’ll be autonomous, some CEO’s and others may secure a little machine to roll a Big Fat One and also a holder for a nice glass of Bourbon or two to this vast flat dash???
Thanks for the question.
Work trucks, and recreational trucks, need to be able to tow larger trailers in all conditions including cold weather, long days, mountainous terrains. This could potentially cut the range in half.
Many locales, states, areas have few, if any charging stations. They...
Should Tesla choose to take over the entire Pickup industry (ICE and EV) in one Fell Swoop with the Cybertruck, the Golden Key is a 1,000 mile range.
If so, GigaFactory Texas best be ready to produce both Quality and Volume.
Within 3 years the Pickup industry would be Tesla's.
Betting he'll disassemble them, that's one of his main calling cards that gains him both credibility and viewers. If he does, what a crystal ball to be able to see what's ahead in the next 5 years. Could be a window to contemplate bankruptcies, stock prices, sales, direction.
2022 is great news for not spending money! So far I've resisted buying a new truck for a couple years and now two more years. New meaning to, "The cheapest vehicle to own is the one you drive now". Keep'n the ole RAM and Buying Tesla Stock is a good thing..... Thanks Tesla!
1.) If the windows do not roll down fully, front and rear, order cancelled.
2.) If mirrors cannot be fixed to see around full width box trailer, order concealed.
3.) With snow and ice, especially parked outdoors the wiper cannot be behind any hinged anything.
Just saying the Truth or...
If the CT incorporates everything said on "Battery Day" given the 18 months to 3 years to arrive at fruition: I still have one simple question ..... What's the new "Range" estimate?
I drive 1,000 miles with a diesel one way, no refills. If the CT will recharge quickly for the pee stops, it all makes since. Another drive is pulling Idaho mountains with either a 10,000 or 14,000 pound trailer - no charging stations, 100 miles each way, same day, cold steep mountain roads...
Well stated CyberMoose: A combination of 1.) Lighter, more compact, less expensive vehicles can had along with 2.) Much longer range in other vehicles, load carrying, towing work vehicles is what is needed.
Once the industry reaches 1,000 mile range capability (as needed) and beyond the ICE...
Let's hope all current and future manufacturers remember that two trucks will be needed. 1.) The current CyberTruck and Atlis type vehicle that can tow at least 14,000#gvw and has long range capability, this is needed to convert the work truck individuals and fleets from ice to electric. 2.)...

The Tesla Cybertruck’s design may be controversial due to its unapologetically futuristic Cyberpunk elements, but even after its eventful unveiling, speculations were abounding among the EV community that the radical pickup truck may end up being the...
Let's hope only the "Hooligan Employeees" are selected first to receive and to drive the CT hard. That way the first "Bugs" will be quickly exposed and corrected before we get ours.
