Someone probably mentioned this already, but you can see them raise the truck at 8:32 seconds... super quick, and it looks like the front lifts before the tail end. Lowers at around 12:14, not fast, but still cool to see... I've never seen the truck look as good as it does in the pics and videos...
Yes and no, there are subframes out there that incorporate the mounting locations for the uppers. I'm not sure what lethal refers to, but frame damage is repaired on a regular basis (see Tesla's procedures for M Y). As mentioned, there are high-stress areas that OEM repair guidelines do not...
Is anyone else concerned about all four upper control arms mounting directly to the gigacasts? If these crack from a higher sideswipe or t-bone, then the cast is toast; these high-stress areas cannot be repaired. The center and inboard portions of the rails cannot be sectioned on Model Y's...
Looks like we might have a light bar at the top edge of the windshield; that would be sweet!!! I believe that's a CB antennae cable running through the L/R door window, maybe they were doing Elon's Baja run...

I've been looking into different options for a truck camper to integrate into the CT. Giant, fingers crossed that they build a couple of electrical outlet options into the bed and have a powered back window for climate control. It currently looks like the backglass is likely non-movable, based...
I sincerely hope that they use that under-bed space for a spare, even a donut for emergencies, those undercarriage photos always looked like there might be just enough room. I would take a full size for off-roading. Also wonder if you'll be able to individually suck up a corner after blocking or...
Gladly! I thought the same thing; I doubt they charged to 100% beforehand, likely in Vegas that same morning before being towed to Laughlin for testing. I thought that the truck was just making the rounds, had left Kingman, and was heading to the charger in Needles or in Boulder City on the way...
I've been a lurker on the board for a while but had to post when I saw cvalue13's post. I saw the truck heading towards Union Pass yesterday. I'm assuming that they had just turned around and headed back to the starting point, or they possibly headed into Kingman and charged there (not sure if...
