They did say explicitly ‘many countries’ and ‘certification’. As mentioned I am most likely reading too much into it, and they are just using those words for abstract hype. Still, they caught me as interesting phrases to use.

Except that they explicitly mentioned certification.

Yes, that explains being in NZ. But New Zealand is hardly ‘many countries’, or ‘for certification’.

Looks quite lovely reflecting that clear sky.

Premature speculation on the Internet? Surely not!

Tesla recently said they are testing Cybertruck vehicles around the world for final certification and validation. I am most certainly reading too much into that quote, but it struck me as a bit odd at the time and perhaps could get your thoughts. Is there any reason that certification would...

From this angle the frunk looks decent sized, at least big enough for my use.

Elon did actually mention HVAC in the vault in some Tweet but I can’t be bothered digging it up right now so you just need to trust the memory of someone you don’t know on the Internet.

I played the Knight Rider theme in my head to that video.

Interestingly I can't make out the front aero wheel flaps in these pictures. That might be because the pictures are too fuzzy (I guess that would be the most likely reason) or it could be because they want to test driving through snowdrifts where those flaps would be a bit of a hindrance? The...

I wonder if these are going to be difficult for Tesla to get the panel alignment right on. The bonnet has a pretty big gap towards the rear edge and there’s little alignment things everywhere. Some probably don’t matter, others I’m not so sure. Anyone able to bring in some chickens to measure...

Probably the door is a bit open. But then it also doesn’t quite align with the front door, and the bottom of the front door seems a bit misaligned with the top, and the front fender is showing pretty big gaps at the top.

The climate system is pretty effective though. It’s frequently enough to turn it on just before throwing on some shoes and stuff before heading out the door. The size thing for me is primarily about practicality, fitting into car parks and parking halls, rather than any concern for garaging it.

Or preparation for HVAC into the vault? There was some talk from Elon about that being a possibility (and would be nice for camping or even transporting animals and stuff). Or perhaps a bigger unit would give better cold weather efficiency?

For clarity, I was talking about at home :) Though I’m perfectly happy flicking them on manually in a car too. Definitely not a deciding feature for me.

Having a stubby nose and placing the driver closer to it is better for offroad driving too. But I felt it prudent to point out these photos aren’t as good a comparison as you might think. The latter one doesn’t show the front lights at all, meaning the angle is such that they are hidden, meaning...

I’m with you. I really don’t need a smart home turning lights on for me when I can execute the horrendous task of flicking a light switch. I find motorised boot openings annoying (at least if they don’t have some foot sensor) as they are slower than a manual opening, so if you have to hit some...

If you’ve been following things you will nonetheless notice Tesla has been careful not to show it. Franz explicitly asked for someone with a camera not to film in and none of the links, bar one, have shown much of it at all (that one showed that the beta build had fold up seats).

I hope this helps to put some of the concerns for wiper coverage to rest. You can clearly see the arc of the wiper and how it related to the actual windscreen part of the glass (below the darkened portion). There is a triangle left untouched in the top left on the passenger side, but this...

You really think that is unintentional? I strongly believe the vast majority of so-called leaks have been suitably agreed on. They all coincidentally end up not showing the things that Tesla seems keen to hide for now (rear seat in particular). Not that I’m complaining. Coordinated leaks are...
