You guys are silly.
Do you really think that one-Inch hail would do even slight damage to 3mm stainless steel or armor glass? I don't think it will. I think you'd need sledgehammers raining from the sky.
The only reason you would ever need to take your CT inside is in extreme cold, to preserve...
You guys are still way overthinking this stuff. It's not that complicated. It's not rocket science. It's not going to be life-or-death flying in the air and one cracked weld results in the deaths of a couple hundred people. It's not aluminum. It's cold rolled stainless steel and quite thick...
To me the big news here is... No problem when you weld something to the body.
"The low carbon content limits the formation of harmful carbides to such an extent that this grade may be safely used for most operations of welded construction,"
Limited amount of carbon splatter making your weld...
It's more than just a tax rebate, it's a stimulus. Cybertruck buyers may not be in the. poor house, but a very small percentage of buyers will qualify as anything other than what is termed a "consumer".
When government puts money into the hands of consumers that money always goes right back...
A few years ago I remember seeing a video of the screen controls for the "Air Blade" air conditioning system in today's Tesla models. (i think that's what they called it). I assume the CT will have something similar.
I spent more than a few minutes looking around for a good explanation of how...
I would be a lot more comfortable calling it a truck if there was a 2-door version. Trucks haul things, buses haul people. The CT is more like a minivan with an open storage compartment.
I say the same thing about those four-door things you call "trucks" that you see today.
I'll never forget my...
NASA is developing an artificial intelligence which will be used to help future mars rovers pilot themselves with less human input.. And they need YOUR help.

They need humans to classify objects in images taken by...
I'd rather have zero back seats, zero back doors, and a longer bed.
If you're gonna call it a truck, make it a truck, not a minivan with an open cargo area.
GRADE AAA - Absolutely Astounding and Awesome!
Finally some great v iews of exactly what the finish of the stainless is. It's semi-polished, no big surprise. Looks like the underside is mostly plastic and partially stainless with the same finish.
Managed to get a shot inside the wheel wells...
I agree, it's very hard to use the thin ones that fold up easily. What happens is it catches on the rubber, and the rubber doesn't have the integrity to stay in place, so it folds and bunches up.
Looking online, I see one brand (westin) that weighs 8 pounds, then I see another much thicker...
Don't overthink this one.
1. Get a thick rubber mat which somebody will offer in exact fit. Throw it in there.
2. On the rare occasions that you want the functionality underneath, Grab it, Pull It. Yank it. Throw it on the ground and stomp on it.
That's been my method as long as I can...
"Who wouldn't want to be a leader in Apocalypse Technology?"
I have been a leader in Apocalypse technology for years.
For years I have had lasers, guided missile, stealth, cloak, machine gun, steamroller, burrow, shockwave... Recent additions to my Armory include grenades and airstrike.
I have...
I was so right when (in the older Jay Leno's Garage thread) I said: "Sounds like it's more about Elon himself and less about CT specifically." There was only about 90 seconds that was specific to CT. Standing on the vault door was fun, but after that, we're back in the information desert...
My initial reaction was....
1. Ladder Rack
2. Ladder Rack
3. Ladder Rack
After thinking about it, in order of popularity...
1. CyberQuad
2. Roof/Ladder Rack
3. Camper
Most likely, Tesla will have all three of these as factory options.
Don't forget a possible tesla trailer.
I really like the...
I knew it. Very little CT content in the episode.
I did get to hear the vault door open.
Really the first time we've gotten daylight and a high quality camera on the stainless finish. No surprise, it's sort-of half polished. Those who wish to buff it to a high polish won't have too much...
TirNaOg, You won't have too long to wait. It should be available at this link within a day. Last week's episode was.

Here in the USA, I am able to watch the episode titled "Dare to Dream" that premeired less than 36 hours ago here.
https://www.nbc.com/jay-lenos-garage
Will that be available to those in Norway? I doubt it. Try it and see.
A VPN may be an option.
There is also a new preview I just watched, and...
It depends what you consider to be "revealing anything new". The numbers like exact horsepower equivalents are nice to have, but not what i'm looking for. I want to see things that aren't mentioned in the literature.
Everybody wants to see the frunk and sail pillar doors opened in a way that...
