Elon just tweeted this: What does cybertruck body mean? Front, rear or entire body?

Thank you for the explanation.

Considering that Rivian truck is 7,158lbs and Ford F150 EV is 6,170 Lbs, both under 3.5t, what do you think the weight of the Cybertruck will be? NOTE: I would like to take my US Cybertruck for a vacation to EU however limits on my US driver's license (C class) are equivalent to only 3.5t in...

What happened to the side sail storage area? I no longer see it in the latest cybertruck prototype...

If you want to order a Model 3/Y anywhere in EU, it is available to order. However Cybertruck reservation page shows a smaller number of countries. Here is the page for Cybertruyck, substationally different then 3/Y country list. Just FYI.

Side sail doors are mysterious in terms of sealing/opening/closing. My guess is that there will be a big surprise in that compartment, mostly electric-related.

e. Thinking Cybertruck might be semi-submersible, I am thinking of penetrating (with a drill, oh, no!) this area... Dunno about how one can fish a cable that route. :( Thanks, KN6KEZ

I need to mount my VHF/UHF ham antenna, mag-mount is out of the question and glass coupling antennas suck (rf-wise) on Cybertruck windshileds with a lot of Alu content. Also, clip-on concept is gone for the Cybertruck body, IMHO. Where the heck can I mount an antenna that is fed by a coax...

I keep confusing J1772 connector with J1772 signaling protocol. Tesla uses J1772 AC signaling protocol via a custom connector. J1772 signaling protocol does not support V2G, V2V, etc. SAE-J3068 is an evolution of J1772 signaling protocol, supports higher voltages and 3 phase and it is downwards...

Thank you for the clarification and detailed explanation. My 2013 Model S was dual charger, never could take full advantage or higher current capability anywhere outside my home. The rumors about V2G and serious AC power output makes me think that at least for the top-end Cybertruck a second...

I was rambling on about inverter configurations here with the thought being that if you used a single H bridge to produce three phase that you would need to derive a neutral if your application required it so that it might be best to implement 3 separate single phase inverters so that the...

>That essentially confines you to ∆ connected loads. If you wanted to do Y for more current or >_/\ for biphase (V2H or V2G) where would you get neutral? Can you clarify? I am not familiar with 480V/US configs -- do they have a neutral or not? (I know 380V 3ø in EU is "Y" config. Thanks.

>Thus it appears you would need 3 separate inverters clocked 120° apart. Yes. I understand that SuperCharger stations use powerful 480V transformers, but that's an entirely different animal and it is very expensive to commission. Most US industrial settings, warehouses, etc, have 3 phases, so...

The more I think about Cybertruck AC charging, the more I am inclined to think that cybertruck will support 3 phase (480V) industrial charging on top of single phase 240V support. If you take a look at SAE-J3068, the proposed North American standard, it is an evolution from single phase like...

For reference, most cars are built with 0.7-0.8mm thick steel.

The idea is that after dinner you 'collapse' the kitchen under the sleeping deck and you go inside for the rest of the night. The In-out of the bed area while the kitchen is setup is impractical, you would have to step over a table!. But the biggest problem is where to store backpacks and stuff...

It takes a lot of Margaritas to do the planning. Once in Russia, I'll switch to Vodka. My initial research is pretty grim -- Apparently, I cannot find warm garages with Electricity every 400Km, and my Russian expedition guide pushes me towards two gasoline generators in parallel (yuck, that's a...

Yes, but you can stop by "civilization" when switching spots. I know, it sucks, but solar is not going to cut it. Or.... borrow a gas generator, I won't be ashamed.

Yes, that is possible.
