I'm likely going a different direction as the cybertruck is more of a beta version luxury SUV than a work truck. Needs more refinement. I have high hopes for the Cybertruck 2.0 in 2045.
In the meantime I'm going to get a Diesel 3/4 ton, and look to replace my car with a Model 2 or a model Y...
I'm sure it *could* be added, but I think that feature is designed into the upgraded electrical architecture. I would expect to only see it on new models, not updates. The other consideration is: does the pack size (say on a model 2) have enough capacity to make the option viable? We may only...
Can I ask: Has a hand-tossed baseball ever broken a car window? It seemed like a pretty lame demonstration at the delivery event. I'm surprised they even took the time to recreate it on this video.
The steel was impressive tho
No Doubt in my mind. Here only one mirror is required, but I'd remove all of them on delivery (assuming side hole covers are available). Maybe get a 1" or 2" round bubble mirror to be legally compliant and tuck it somewhere inconspicuous (or magnetic and put it on if I'm stopped) . Then I'd...
To add some perspective, talking in terms of hours driven to hours charging doesn't take into account elevation changes from start to finish, and (even if starting and ending at the same elevation), changes in elevation throughout the trip.
So I checked it out on google earth and see that this...
Same with gas. Drivers who spend time focused on maxing mpg have experienced that same range of efficiency losses and develop a drive style to suit the goal.
With EV's its a little more present because drivers have less margin to waste by driving inefficiently
What if you use mineral oil to wipe a thin film onto the car, and it didn't show hand prints because it's essentially pre-oiled? Maybe the fancy ceramic coat things do the same
I too will never purchase a Ferrari. Buts it's def a different level than Tesla. You can't even own one because Ferrari keeps the contractual power to take it back from you (re: the 2010's Deadmaus debacle). I believe Tesla would create a better process but hasn't bothered to spend the time...
Oh, I didn't consider that. Because interest rates are so high (my last car loan was 2.25%) I've been looking from a cash purchase perspective. Probably why I'm more critical about the higher prices and missed opportunities compared to initial reveal.
I wondered if it was a two part, how they could keep the seam between the two from making a trail across as it wipes. Turns out the way to do it is to not do that and make one really long one
