A bit uncertain on the language if it means connecting front right and left or one side front to rear, first option is more likely Although I agree with your take, I think it's simply, how many people will take if off road to the point it requires a sway bar disconnect? The answer is probably a...

On rock crawl mode it is supposed to cross link the airbags If I were to guess, I would say the off road modes are doing nothing right now other than change suspension height A random person that supposedly talked to a Cybertruck engineer that is working on that section of Cybertruck said a...

Thanks for that, was wondering why there was this extra part, with threads and all that for "nothing" Likely a revision will come latter that eliminates it, we've seen it before on other Tesla suspension parts

The functionally isn't implemented yet, the lockers are there, just the button doesn't work Why? Only Tesla knows, likely fine tuning when/where it gets engaged disengaged because with the amount of torque the motors have it's easy to blow a locker by engaging it at the wrong moment

Cybertruck already uses the Gen 2 4680s They are doing a chemistry change right about now to increase the Nickel content, thus more energy per cell, don’t know if that counts internally as Gen 3 The California pilot production line is being upgraded as we speak to make Gen 3 (or 4 depending on...

It's a 500+ kg hunk of metal, to increase it's temp ignoring any losses by 20 °C (or °F) takes 2.8 kWh I don't think insulation would help much, there is already an air gap between the bottom of the pack and the cells, which is a pretty good insulator, but it's only a few mm thick, so there...

TLDW: If your pack is a block of ice, it will take a up to one hour for it to warm enough for it to start charging TLDW2: If you live in cold places, install at 240 V outlet/charger, precondition 1h before leaving or set the automatic schedule to do so and you will never have an issue This is...

It's bad, just like all other EV trucks

It doesn't matter if it's one, two or four packs, what matters is the cells In this case, if a 123 kWh Cybertruck pack is taking 41 minutes from 10-80%, a 61.5 kWh will take the same The charger isn't the limitation form 20% forwards, see my charts, if Lars numbers comes to fruition, even on a...

I did the calculations to what the charging curve would have to look like for the "15% to 85% in 18 minutes" from Lars on Jay Leno review to be true This does not mean it will nor that it is possible on trucks delivered today, just what it would take for that to happen. The current charging...

Lightly applying the brakes, pad slips on the disc as you turn, making that noise

In that case, Elon just told me on PM he is allowed to share it and post it here, it's true

Wait, you have the manual? Under NDA not to share?

The initial design was with a double later pack, but there are a few reason they likely changed that 1 - Size reduction to fit in peoples garages: Once they made it shorter, the had to make the height lower, else you screw with the proportions and it would look weirder. So you either eat into...

Keep in mind these numbers from coast down test coefficients THOSE ARE NOT THE NUMBER YOU WILL GET The correction factor is applied on top of them and that is how you get the EPA numbers

Yes, those are the core losses, and are split into Eddy losses and Hysteresis losses. The first is due to the change in magnetization on the steel laminations, and the second is due to induced currents due to the changing magnetic field When joined, they are proportional somewhere from the...

Even with the motor engaged Back-EMF only limits your top speed (ignoring field weakening, which the motors definitely use), the losses on the copper wires are dependent only on the phase resistance and current going through them, but you need enough voltage on the phases to have left over...

This is slightly wrong, while induced currents on the copper windings are par of the losses on a permanent magnet motor, they are tiny because the individual cross section area of each wire is small What really cause the losses is the steel laminations, hysteresis loses inside due to lossy...

Thanks for confirming my hypothesis Also, tires, lot's of people aren't talking about them, on Rivian there is a ~15% range increase from A/T to H/T, ok that they are a bit smaller We might see 390 miles with more range oriented tires, and from your better cells, likely gen 3 4680s, 440 miles
