  1. What Vehicle, Money no option, would you like to see Teslafied!

    CyberTank, with 200mm main gun, 100mm mortar, and freaking laser beam machineguns. 20 Tons that can cover a quarter mile from full stop in 9 seconds
  2. Elon Musk suggests Cybertruck is not happening this year

    I’m perfectly happy if I don’t get my CT until 2025 or after. Still saving up money and honestly I am way way down the list.
  3. CyberSUV vs Cybertruck

    My ford focus hatchback has taken care of almost everything I needed to haul (including those giant 7.5’ tall shelving units at Home Depot). If it had towing ability, I’d be set. The Cyber SUV would be a big version of a hatchback and would be a lot more similar to my current vehicle. I guess...
  4. ā˜€ļø New Cybertruck tonneau patent mentions potential use as Solar Panel

    There are plenty of people who have paid for their home solar with the energy cost savings that they have netted. Most of these folks are in states with high energy costs. However, those with solar roof installs are reporting impressive cost savings even in low-cost states. The data is out...
  5. ā˜€ļø New Cybertruck tonneau patent mentions potential use as Solar Panel

    People said a lot of things Elon wanted to do were impossible. People who bet against him usually look like fools in the end. I agree, there are a lot of challenges involved in making a solar tonneau actually provide an appreciable increase in daily range, even in optimal weather. Especially...
  6. Due to Tonneau Cover design, no bed-cab pass through

    Given that the patent is from last year, perhaps Elon and the team have come up with a redesign. With the patent we have, however, the tonneau cover is a constant barrier that would prevent a pass-through option. The only way we could have pass through with this design is if the tonneau fully...
  7. Armored glass is for a pending apocalypse and when this happens... just saying.

    The sledgehammer test and previous tests with the ball bearing created microfractures and possibly small chips in the glass. They were hitting it/throwing stuff at it quite a bit before the stage demo. Armor glass is not indestructible, nothing is. It only makes sense that it would fail after...
  8. Conducting testing on 300 series stainless steel - temperature and bullet test

    Depends on how fancy they want to get. They could end up having their own stainless foundry. They currently buy aluminum ingots from somewhere for their single piece castings and remelt them in the casting machine. some kinds of stainless do not remelt very well (not sure why and I work at a...
  9. Backup Battery Plug-in Port

    Teslas have a lot more software integration with their batteries than Toyota did, as far as I know. This is the first complication, as they use that software for optimum battery conditioning and cell balancing. The second complication lies with the fact that batteries only play well together if...
  10. Towing Camping Trailers

    I used to have a 1978 Olds 98 regency diesel that the previous owner had put in an auxiliary 50 gallon tank in its trunk. It could go from Wisconsin to Florida (and back, I think) without refueling.
  11. Backup Battery Plug-in Port

    Most electric vehicles do not allow movement while charging. Tying in an extra battery is not a simple plug-and-play proposition. While technically possible, it is not technically feasible, unless it is a Tesla designed battery or at the very least, Tesla approved. Powered trailers with their...
  12. Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    I’m a tri motor reservation and my number puts me well over a million in line. Not sure where my trim gets me. No estimated date when I log into my tesla account
  13. Knock off the blockchain Elon

    I think anyone who makes investment decisions based off a dudes tweets and not the product of his business is an idiot. 90% of the United States and probably 99% of the world population is not on twitter. No one cares. I am literally only on twitter to follow Tesla, Elon, and SpaceX, and would...
  14. What will be the next confirmed reveal regarding the CT

    Alaska doesn’t exist so you’re spot on there.
  15. Knock off the blockchain Elon

    Oh dear lord I enjoy Elon’s tweets and I also hold Tesla stock. The whole stock market is tanking, Elon is not the main reason for Tesla’s stock falling, and probably isnt’t even a contributing factor.
  16. ? Cybertruck Spotted at Giga Texas Plant! + Interior Look with Yoke Steering Wheel and Performance Pedals!

    So I have an Ice car with super good mirrors (Ford dual mirror design that eliminates the blind spot) I still look over my freaking shoulders when merging or planning to merge. There is one miracle spot where the mirrors don’t see the vehicle, especially if its a motorcycle (too far up) and my...
  17. F150 Powerboost Hybrid

    I live in Wisconsin. We are considered one of the most progressive states and a testbed for innovation. Our democrat governor struck down a bill that would have ended the law requiring dealerships in order for a manufacturer to sell cars in the state. Michigan has a similar law, and so does...
  18. Who's going to polish their truck?

    I’m Polish so I’m sure my CT will naturally become Polish over time.
  19. Cybertruck as a tow vehicle

    you will be able to drive through streams and shallow ponds with cybertruck so it would be fine if it got a little wet grabbing a boat. In most cases tho, only the trailer gets wet
  20. Cybertruck as a tow vehicle

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/robbreport.com/motors/cars/airstream-developing-new-electric-drivetrain-details-2898375/amp/ Airstream is way ahead of me, apparently, and are already developing one.
