2x carbon-sleeved 600hp motors in the rear, and 1x 300hp legacy motor in the front = 1500 hp. Regardless of how much "better" a quad motor might seem, it's not needed to do what they need to do and might not be possible at the price point they are trying to achieve for the 3 levels announced...

A reasonable response. Personally, I have heard that it is too complex to engineer 2 motors in the front given the space and the fact that the power isn't needed. They are trying to make this affordable, efficient, and reliable. And with 1500 hp from 3 motors, do you need any more?

They will be rolling off the line in July from what I've been told, and during the remainder of the year transitioning out of making both model Y's and CTs, and going full tilt with CT's starting in 2024. Not sure how many per week the goal is, but they aren't going to be able to make them fast...

Bauer isn't a relevant analogy, he was a DHS agent that didn't know how to hold a pistol. Think more of a character who has a broad network of people he gets information from because of some of the engineering and social circles he runs in. The CT has a cost goal to attain, and also a...

I can't confirm how I know it will be tri-motor, but I can tell you from what I've seen there isn't as much room in the front as people think. This truck will weigh 7K lbs unladen, regen isn't an issue.

Two motors up front aren't needed, they actually hurt efficiency. The dual motors in the rear, however, are useful for power. I cannot confirm how I know this, but willing to bet that the top HP configuration at the time of launch, will be a tri-motor making 1500hp with the layout I have...

I can't say. But willing to put money on it that the top trim will be 2 carbon wrapped motors making 600hp each for the rear and a legacy 300hp motor for the front making 1500hp will be the top trim.

Have you talked to any Cybertruck powertrain engineers at the Austin plant?

There is no quad motor. The top trim will be a tri-motor, just like the semi, making 1500 HP with two carbon sleeved 600hp motors in the rear and a 300hp legacy motor in the front with a dif.

I wonder if I'll even get mine by 2025. Sigh.

Beards are the new affliction shirt...

I made it about 14 seconds, and couldn't stand his voice so I bailed lol.

Yup, my buddy here in Austin got part of the contract for the construction of it. Made a small fortune in commission.

What quad-motor? ;)

If they build this, it would sell... no doubt about it.

I've had a few friends that bought chevy Avalanches new because they just HAD to have this feature. Neither of them used it much and both reverted back to regular beds. Just as an FYI.

Somebody gets it...

He was moving pretty well to roll it over.

if it's in a rut, it digs in, the direction the wheel is turned doesn't do much... it's when the front end of the car is MOVING when the direction the wheel is turned matters. But, I digress, as you can't seem to grasp this, nor do you understand that the CT will have a higher CoG as the "body"...

Turning in the direction of a skid doesn't do that much if they are stuck in a rut, because there is no skid, you just flip over... maybe you don't understand that, tired of explaining it. And name your wager if you want to bet that a CT has a lower CoG than the R1T lol.
