Hahah! 6’2” maybe if I accidentally trip and fall into the bed I can pull it off.
Will use the measure app on my phone to see if I can get any unknown dimensions. Bed width etc…
Going to swing by the Peterson museum today, any requests for me to look for/ analyze?
I realize this is the old prototype.
one thing I want to confirm is it’s size… tech reviewers keep saying it’s massive. It’s the same size as my F-150 and I don’t consider an F-150 massive by any means.
So...
They'd have to use this approach ?
Auto policies are going to start having clauses "damage from Porpoise, Shark, Octopus or Poseidon himself not covered".
Something I haven’t seen anyone realize yet… Elon also stated crossing the channel between south padre and Starbase…. That’s a salt water crossing… a large (for a car especially ?) crossing. We still don’t know the exact chemical make up of the SS body but outside of 316 levels of corrosion...
Greentheonly has been tracking this new radar for a while. Maybe its the HD radar Elon has stated would be useful. It would be cool if it could help the CT understand off road terrain topography precisely and adjust dampening ahead of time among other things. Figured I'd share it.
I think Tesla is in a great position to make a high voltage winch. They make millions of electric motors a year, perhaps repurpose a motor from the ATV or whatever. If anyone can make a high voltage winch at low cost (not price) it’s going to be them. They might charge more than after market but...
It would all depend on the range for me, 500mi is truly bare minimum for its original price. A tweet from Elon a while back does give me hope for more range.
Elon:
" We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse in my opinion, as 99.9% of time...
My concern with the new footage/bed is how they moved rear crossbar at the back of the cab back. I can only speculate but it looks like there is now an overhang over the front of the bed so its no longer a flush flat surface to stack, strap, or make full use of the entire bed with.
I wouldn't be surprised if NOD is an option from Tesla knowing Elon. However I thought it would be cool if there was an auxiliary input to the screen that we could get even more creative with our own custom inputs or feeds....... maybe thermal? :p
Yes I realize not necessary, but I feel...
I was feeling so patient before, thinking yes I've felt early model S dual motor before its awesome 4.4 seconds in a sedan wow that's crazy! Then tri-motor cybertruck will be considerably better, however after feeling 2.3 second ludicrous acceleration and knowing cybertruck will be slightly...
I've never made my own post here, I typically just chime in once in a while, try to give constructive input but otherwise don't post for the sake of posting...
However had 2 incredible experiences in the past 48 hrs.
1) I got to watch the DART launch from Vandenberg in person, no matter how...
All I know is Elon tweeted a while back that there would be a Plaid Cybertruck and it would be more than just a tri-motor. But it's only speculation whether he is talking about the number of motors or just other features or both.
I would like a quad motor at some point not for acceleration or...
Guess I didn't read the fine print that well. I figured both FSD and what ever the listed price was for the variant selected would be locked in at time of reservation. Didn't think they could change the price from what it was when you reserved. Hope they don't change it, or at least just honor...
Was watching it live, I know its a bummer but I've been prepared for it personally. I don't know about others, while bummed I'm stilled not depressed just because I was expecting a cumulative delay of around this time. If it goes considerably beyond this, that would then surprise me.
We are...
