Oh lord. Yeah, that's gold. :LOL:

Yep. The haters still perceive themselves as the voice of the people but they're soon going to find themselves becoming very much marginalised. A rump, membership of which makes one pretty visibly a weirdo. Your embarrassing racist uncle, that kind of deal.

There's talented high-effort trolling...and then there's this thread. A new bar has been set, lol. Kudos. I read the entire thing this morning before you dropped this reveal. I didn't have time to actually check your figures - and my photogrammetry skills are nowhere near your level - but your...

Oh my god. Never thought to see this FB tier nonsense here on the actual forum. OK, so then please give us your take on the production line in Austin. What is it actually for? Why are they hiring, and installing new equipment, at such a breakneck pace? How's the Ford Lightning pullthrough...

Thank you for your service, lol. I can't keep track of all the various bamboozled folk on social media confused about size. It even seems like *most* of them are convinced the production truck will be significantly smaller than the concept. 1 inch less per side doesn't seem like a big deal to...

There's a small discontinuity between the line of the rear roof and the sail. You see it best in videos.

Holy cow. JBee did you get an ag robot piece on the ABC a few months ago or was that another mob?

Realistically, probably me too. When I lug stuff it's mostly garden plants and small amounts of construction stuff, 2.4m 4x2s etc. A Y will do fine, better than my old ICE SUV. Expecting to own one for several years (please, Elon, please...let Aussies have Ys soon). But it will be nice to...

This mostly seems to be associated with flat refusal to believe anyone could want a truck which looks the way CT does. But surely the 1.x million preorders suggests the looks are either a non-issue or a selling point, yes? If the project required that level of change for some reason, would most...

Partly yes. But also there's a lot of disbelief that a truck *can* look like this - I mean, *at all* like this. The posters I'm talking about confidently assert that CT will undergo a total redesign before release. Not detail changes or even the ridiculous but pretty usual concept-to-production...

This is so common it's almost a default in some places; I see it on Twitter all the time especially - even from Tesla-neutral or Tesla-friendly posters. 'Oh it's just a prototype, the final product won't look remotely like that'. Well, sad. Guess I'll be cancelling my order if that's the case...

Just my non-expert take, I’m not an engineer, but I don't think it's really feasible. Once you get to Mars you need to slow down from interplanetary speeds. You can brake propulsively or by aerobraking using the Martian atmosphere. If you are going to brake propulsively then every ton of...

Dunno, the four-wheel steering might have managed it? I'm sure there will be a ton of Rivian options and variants in due course. Fatter tyres seems like a no-brainer.

They also need to cope with extreme cold. Methalox on one side, plasma on the other. Am I the only idiot who would line up to pay extra for a cybertruck with the main panels made from recycled steel from SN5-SN11? I'd pay, I dunno, 10 or 15k extra for that, easy. :p

A pickup seems like an obvious a must for the Tesla range. It's such a massive market - what, 6300 sales a day in the US? Hard to believe that would be ignored, even for sceptics who don't believe the environmental mission is genuinely important to Musk. Also, first post, hi!
