There's no way Tesla doesn't put its badge on the CT. Most people will keep it for 10+ years, and maybe for generations. I believe, there will not be a second generation CT with a steering wheel as the dawn of autonomy is upon us. This truck will be iconic and Tesla just cannot not put its badge...

That was my thought too but I guess Tesla will design those for easy serviceability and camera lens covers might be made of the same material (aluminium oxynitride) as the windows or even sapphire, both are scratch resistant and have roughly the same hardness index. The more people will break...

The only thing I am sure about cup holders, they are gonna be either pentagon, hexagon or octagon shape...

Tesla issued a patent on a new power assisted steering about a year ago. It is more efficient and from what I understood can handle higher torque. Hopefully this is what they will use in the Cybertruck: https://electrek.co/2019/10/03/tesla-patents-efficient-power-assist-steering-system/

Totally agree on Brazil here, largest South American market with very stiff import duties but an abundance of primary materials like nickel and iron ore. Although the first vehicle produced in Brazil would be the 25k model and not the Cybertruck

If you read my original post I did not mention armored glass at all, this definition is very broad. I specified aluminium oxynitride (ALON) material for CT windows. Now please provide proof that this material will be used on all CT windows, even the 40k variant.

Wasn't aware about that, this is encouraging. Hopefully they can source that transparent aluminium as it's a completely new product unlike other parts

I think Tesla will start with the Dual Motor variant first, with regular automotive glass and wipers. ALON glass will be mostly an expensive option for the tri-motor CT, for which the production will start later.

Since these new battery packs are supposed to be at least 50% cheaper than current ones it will make less sense to service them. I believe that the rate of failure of a new battery pack will be very low (maybe even lower than for the current battery packs, since less complexity) and in those...

Personally not a big fun of ATVs, mostly due to safety concerns. But interested what other people think.

You guys ruined all my excitement with your rational comments!

I should have specified that die casting SS is currently not possible, although Tesla could build a giant ceramic die but that thing will break/crack after a dozen of cycles. Anyway I still don't see Tesla using SS for anything else than CT's skin, which is huge SS quantity by itself...

I might be wrong as well but I don't see how Tesla or anyone else can make SS castings. If they make castings for the CT it will be of the same aluminium allow they developed for the Model Y. But I believe they would need a welded steel structure for CT underbody.

1. Integrated solar panels 2. Integrated battery charger for small power tools made by Tesla (yes, that implies I want Tesla to make wireless power tools) 3. Headrest displays for my kids

I somewhat understand people not liking Cybertruck's aesthetic design, because it doesn't have much of it. If you ask a person "Do you like the design of the brick?" there's really no answer to that. A brick is characterized by 6 faces and 12 edges and has a form that follows function. So is the...

As a Tesla enthusiast I was just interested in the event and what the truck would look like, wasn't planning to order at all, never owned a truck. As the front was coming out of that fog my reaction was "not bad at all", then it rolled on the scene and I was "but why?". As the presentation...

I didn't order my CTs all at the same time, but this guy will have trouble getting 51 Cybertrucks in possession all at once :). On a serious note, I believe Tesla will prioritize getting them to the greatest number of customers, they might even move repeat reservation to the back of the line...

I guess the majority have just one CT reservation, Personally, I hold 5 reservations for a couple of reasons. Are there any other members that hold more than 1 reservation?

Shapewise, definitely a Bull Terrier:

I am wondering how the cooling system (octovalve?) pumps, FSD computer/entertainment system (probably no benefit from 48V), air suspension/on-board compressor, 110V/240V inverter will be powered? Can those benefit from a 48V?
