But aren't the presence of wheel wells part of the castings? I think they're present on both the front and rear. If not, what else is missing that makes up the casting?

I actually think that those steel wheels (minus the instruments) look nicer than the aero caps.

You seem knowledgeable in that space. How are aero SaaS tools these days? https://airshaper.com/

It's not in this video but when it rolls up on stage with Franz and Elon, you can see it. Zoom into the photo and you'll see the driver's display. Here is the same truck a few days / weeks later at a Tesla energy storage event, showing a better view of the interior:

I thought that CHMSL has to be as high up as well as on a fixed surface? Maybe this is one of those things that is more a guideline rather than hard specification. Look a few seconds at the start of the video (after CT passes the white post in the foreground) and just half-way through - you can...

Of all the functions to fret over it supposedly being missing, the middle brake light was one of the strangest. It was already present on at least 1 of the 2 trucks at CyberRodeo. Per FMVSS does this count as the 3rd brake light (CHMSL)? I thought that was supposed to be mounted much higher. My...

Two points: 1) What kind of glass is on the Semi and who supplies it? I remember that it's supposed to be tougher because of regulations where even if there is a small crack, the truck is no longer road-worthy until the glass is replaced. 2) Following the 2019 CT reveal, I remember Munro talking...

Nice!! Would be cool to see CT drive up along Skippers Road to Skippers Canyon (outside of testing).

I don't believe any of that was staged. There are so many unknowns as to how the audience and market would react that it isn't worth the risk. If anything it was smart that they had the extra parts on-hand simply because they planned to do an Armoured Glass Demonstration. Additionally there is...

Not necessarily. The wrap where the seam / opening for the sail pillar along with most of the truck appear to be pattern matched.

It isn't clear anywhere in the referenced tweets that there are two subwoofers. He was quoting a tweet from Elon dated December 2022. I don't have a strong technical background in the area but given the nature of bass frequencies and the sonic range that sub-woofers play in why would there be a...

I appreciate the photo but as I've stated elsewhere I'm not happy about the loss of the driver's display. Monitoring FSD and various instruments in the S/X is much nicer even in the previous version with the round steering wheel.

He's just ripping off other people's posts and not giving credit. I re-blocked him as he had nothing of value to contribute.

Amazing analysis!!! One feature that I did want was the ability for the rear seat backs to recline, so hopefully that will be there. I noticed during my one week rental with a Lightning that despite how impressively spacious the cabin is, especially in the rear seats - it would be even more...

If that bottle is indeed the air tank, I wonder where it will be placed and if it'll have cross-car functionality similar to the S/X. For comparison, this is what the air suspension "Superbeam" looks like in the Model S/X. Essentially CT's is huge in comparison!!

If it is, it has yet to be shown.

Is the tail gate missing a trim peace on top or could it be the inner-mechanism for the ramp?

From Reddit:

I trust you've seen these before along with the 6-seater patent diagrams - but obviously not possible to glean measurement estimates from: During this stage of development, I would imagine that most constraints related to safety (i.e. airbag deployment, spacing considerations, etc...) would...
