Hey, at my age, If the CT is moderately reliable, my kids will inherit it. Also, it'll be fully depreciated against the family business taxes in the meantime! What a novel thought!

Saving works for both your wants and needs, equally. ALL of us put $ 100 down on the CT as a pure 'want', For a product that is at least 3 years away. Most will actually 'need' it in 3, 4 or 5 years to replace an older ICE vehicle. We are also saving for the future tech in it! Future...

You may be in more danger "out there" from the slithering beasties, than anything else. Stay off the ground, safe in your TT or CT, at nite..

The design elements, posited above, if present seem excellent. However, the CT is far from street legal yet. Im looking forward to the first production ready version to present tweaks that make it so!

Well, we know Elon's sister company is best in class for... parachutes! But seriously, Bumpers of some sort independent of the exoskeleton will be needed... Those big blah front and rear panels could disguise them...

In the real world there is some speculation that an ultra rigid exoskeleton unibody doesn't permit required safety crumple zones? Remember those pesky summer beetles, crushed by (some) children? I would really like to read informed engineering comment on this post?

The CT is a specialty truck. I am not even sure it's feasibly street legal yet. The entry bars are cheap, but after that, In the end my decision will be determined by alot of personal choices like whether to finance it, choosing a more proven SUV vs the prototype CT, and so on. I'll likely...

This suggests that a portable DC inverter specifically for CT charging from the RV post would be a great appliance.

Think carefully about 5 or 6 year car loans. 1. They have your title. 2. Payment on a $ 50 K loan is not a breeze. 3. However, saving for it makes it yours - immediately. I'm saving cash for mine cause it won't be built likely till 2022 or 2023...

I stand corrected, re: GVWR.. Thanks!

We now know that the cybertruck is heavy! 8500 to 10000 lb. Hence the visible roll, unless the air suspension is auto -compensating...

Painted stealth black (as starlink satellites must be) would be absolutely awesome! Think of the police radar cross section! Not!

Ah yes, I'm one CT pre-order, located in NM! BUT, can Tesla deliver? I'm plopping down $ 500 for the Ford Mach E, also to see which company has the first rolling product! My bet is on Tesla, as they've produced more than a million by then, and Ford = 0... Gentlemen. start your circuits!

This video is the classic spherical chicken physics problem. It's not REAL folks. Given the conservative assumptions e.g., who in the world is towing MAX rated load at 75 mph! Geesh! The Ford in this case is 'good' because it's extra large optional fuel tank makes it so. However ya spend...

I'm thinking of using it (or several) for a rental adventure tourist business in New Mexico. Ruunning, maybe 20 days a month.

I too briefly thought a modified powerwall might act as a spare Jerry can. But definitely after market. Like gas cans, they are not likely safety certifiable.

Wow, could Tesla aftermarket a trailer with a slightly modified full battery skateboard base, for interconnection to the primary CTbattery!??

There is an obvious argument for packing as much battery as possible into each class of cybertruck if you're thinking about towing. Specs or offering of LR versions are not clear yet. (To me).

By the time we get our CTs fSD will be standard, I believe. It makes no sense to stovepipe two facets of the same software. And for a truck you'll WANT to drive!
