    GigaAustin Model Y vs Fremont Model Y

    Now that I am thinking of getting a Model Y until the CT is ready I have a big question: Will Tesla make all Model Ys with the front gigacasting after they start making them in Austin, or will they have 2 separate models, one with and one without? Second, if the latter is the case, then can we...

    All wheel steering - how does it work?

    I have been wondering when and how all-wheel-steering will work and I am guessing that some people on this forum know, or at least know how it worked on other vehicles. I am assuming it will be for slower speeds because it would probably be hard to control at high speeds. But do you-all think it...

    News on [dual] charging for CT?

    I am increasing the service at my house to accommodate charging for my CT and will install new charger(s). Has anyone heard whether the CT will use a single or dual chargers? I am assuming (perhaps inproperly) that there will be no new chargers or an increase in the maximum amperage for the...

    Starlink and Starship are cool, but ... I want my CyberTruck!

    The only news from Tesla and Elon Musk these days seems to be about Starship and Starlink launches. That is all fine and good, but I am dying for news about: (1) what the final CyberTruck features and specs are, (2) when the FSD beta 9 will be released, (3) when we will see a herd of CTs roaming...

    From hopeful to anxious to upset in the course of several weeks of rain

    Like many if not all others on this forum, I watch the progress at GigaAustin (many thanks to the quad squad and others) very closely. Until April progress was going very well and I my only concerns were for when the 8K-ton gigapresses would arrive and be installed or when the battery cell...

    Great dog shelter

    I was out kiteboarding today and it was pretty hot for the pup and I realized that, unlike my SUV, which has maybe 6”-8” of clearance, the CT will be flat underneath and can have much more clearance and the pup can get in the shade there without being stuck inside even with fog mode. He prefers...

    Side cameras / mirrors - any NHTSA updates?

    I subscribed to updates from the NHTSA on the side mirror/camera ANPRM but there hasn’t seemed to have been any movement. Has anyone else heard anything? I don’t want to start the discussion over which is better, again, but I am very interested in what the government decides. I thought that they...

    Source of CT glass, monitors, etc.?

    I know very little about how Tesla makes vehicles. If they were a big automaker I’d expect them to purchase virtually everything for their cars. Being Tesla I expect them to make virtually everything themselves. Seats, motors, batteries. What about the glass, or the wheels, or the monitors...

    No FSD license transfer from current owners :-(

    Elon Musk just announced that there will be no way for current FSD owners to have their license moved to new purchases. For me that means that we will not be upgrading our Model 3 to a Model Y even though we want to. We paid for FSD at $6K on the Model 3 and to lose the difference, or worse, to...

    Model Y Biodefense Mode Hepa Filter bodes well for Cybertruck

    Teslarati posted an image this morning of the Model Y Biodefense HEPA filter in China, behind the frunk and clearly much more accessible than earlier versions. I believe this bodes well for the Cybertruck as its frunk will no doubt be much larger and there will be even more room behind the frunk...

    Size of rear storage and trunk?

    I am looking through my various pix of the Cybertruck and wondering what the size/dimensions of the frunk and rear lockable storage will be. Any guesses? That rear lockable storage looks like it could be 2’x4’. I have no idea about the depth. Also no idea about the frunk. Any thoughts on the...

    Sun visor, overhead lights, etc.?

    I was driving my wife’s Model 3 this evening and it occurred to me that I haven’t seen sun visors or internal overhead lights (or similar interior things) on the CT. Does anyone know how they intend to provide these without messing up that great view?

    Tonneau cover of transparent aluminum

    It just occurred to me that since the glass is so tough, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an option where the tonneau is made of the stuff? Then we could have a full length skylight in the back! @elon have you thought of that?

    Support drone flyovers of Giga-Texas

    Given that we have over a year to wait before even the first CTs roll off the line, I have been occupying my frustration by watching the various drone flybys of the construction at Giga Austin. I see these as increasingly artful and well executed documentaries, and I hope that Tesla sees it that...

    Cybertruck at stockholders meeting?

    Has anyone heard whether the CyberTruck might make an appearance at the stockholders meeting? I have never been to one but I know that companies often like to show off their wares to their stockholders at such meetings, and most of them have never seen the CyberTruck.

    What would blow your mind?

    We all remember Elon Musk saying, way back at the end of January, regarding Battery Day: “It's gonna blow your mind. It blows my mind, and I know it!". Since then there has been endless hypothesizing about what he meant and what he means to tell us. I am done with that for now because it makes...

    wheel cover material and attachment

    For those of you who know or have seen the CT wheel covers up close, do you know what they are made of? How do they attach to the wheels?

    Door operation

    For those who were at the unveiling, or rode in the CT, how did the door handles operate and how did the doors work? Was everything manual? Did the door handles work like a new MS or like an M3? Is there any assist when the doors open? Are the doors super heavy? How was the insulation and seals...

    Material of bumpers and wheel well covers?

    I was unable to go to the Petersen to see the Cybertruck in person. For those who have seen it, what are the bumpers and wheel well covers made of? I thought/assumed that the wheel well covers would be some kind of rugged plastic but from the closeup pic I am no longer certain. As for the...

    Any new news on Cybertruck transparent aluminum windows or wipers?

    I haven't seen any posts relating to the windows or wiper mechanisms since December. Has Tesla (or anyone) seen updates about these that they forgot to share?
