    ”A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it” - Max Planck 1858-1947 German physicist.

    Folding Rear Seat Latch Spotted in Cybertruck?

    As far as I know, yes, 100% vegan interiors. The one remaining leather component was leather on the steering wheel, which was changed to vegan in Model 3 production.

    Cybersex or cyberwar?

    This is somewhat off topic, but I had some thoughts: Ladder racks on a glass roof...no. Dump bed...no. Salt spreader...salt kills any truck. Snowplow...use a hitch plow. Bed cleaning...use a broom, or better yet - use your used Ford F250 for all of the above, and save your new, bright and shiny...

    Cybersex or cyberwar?

    Stock went up enough recently to pay for my CT. I didn’t cash out though, call it FOMO. But it’s not too late...it’s still going up and you have a couple years.

    Cybersex or cyberwar?

    Actually, I feel that CyberTruck is a brilliant name for all the reasons stated above and more. It is as disruptive as Tesla and SpaceX to the status quo. It is technologically utopian. It is mathematical. It is post-modern and rooted in the history of 60s, 70s, and 80s. It is sexy and an...

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

    Couple questions for those in the know. Is this charger suitable for CT? Can this charger be daisy-chained to old version charger on 50 amp circuit breaker?

    Best Cyberclone

    Here is my nomination for best cyberclone. Amazing how many of these are being built. It’s already a cult classic and it’s only a concept! Here are some of the also-rans... https://evannex.com/blogs/news/watch-the-entire-making-of-the-tesla-cybertrucks-russian-knock-off

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

    Thanks for posting this. I tried to watch it one late night and did not make it through. I was happy to rediscover it today and happily made it all the way through. It makes me confident when Sandy likes anything, especially things that I’m interested in too.

    The best time for your CyberTruck

    This is weird, the CT looks NORMAL to me now. ICE pickups look old fashioned. Anyway, here are some thoughts I had today (while waiting for delivery) about why right now is the best part of CT ownership... 1. Low cost - $100 2. No insurance necessary 3. No range anxiety 4. No parking hassles at...

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

    That would be the zombie apocalypse and I would hop in my CT and head for Costa Rica.

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

    Yes, we have 4 Powerwalls that really can supply 100% of our needs for 6 months in summer and back up for our outages in winter (sounds like we have the same schedule as you for those!). In the winter the sun disappears behind our mountain and no amount of PV will pull it back in sight...only...

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

    You are right. Why use car battery for lights when you need it for transport? We installed Powerwalls (4) and they actually are much better than a generator...more dependable, no noise, faster switching and more uses than just backup. You have to anticipate need and either reserve a portion of...

    Cybertruck trash talk from Jalopnik

    T don’t think the author gets CT, or Tesla China, or Tesla US. I’m not sure the author gets anything from this article, lol.

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

    I believe that I heard that the slow drain and charge of VtoG lengthens battery life when compared with driving use. The Japanese brands have had this home backup capability for some time.
