I'm hoping we'll have options to replace a worn pack with new tech pack that's lighter with more energy. Has that been the case with any Teslas in the past? (Being able to get newer tech upon battery replacement?)
MT style tires tend to flex better at low psi providing much better flotation and traction. If you're driving on sand dunes it's a big deal to be able to air down to 15psi to avoid sinking into the sand.
I'm very curious to see how well the aluminum 2.5" suspension lift kit holds up. This suspension lift and the underbody armor sounds good in theory, how well it holds up in practice will be very interesting.
While the broadcast portion was over fairly quickly, they did get to have a tour of the Cybertruck production line and you can bet there's going to be after parties!!!
I think it's best outside as these tend to get pretty warm and I imagine it's better optics than pushing light through the windshield at such an sloped angle. Hopefully it doesn't have wind noise! Some light bars people run HOWL LOUDLY on the highway.
Regardless of the type of sand, vehicle weight over how much tire contact area is flotation. I drive a Jeep on 35" soft C class tires and aired down to 20psi it stays on top of the sand pretty well.
Cybertruck at 6500 lbs and presumably low rolling resistance tires might have a tough time even...
A co-worker sent me this photo of a Cybertruck entering the Oceano Dunes Park.
Has anyone seen it get out onto the dunes? I wonder how it does, if 35" tires provide enough flotation for driving on the sand
I was hoping it would be some outrageous number like 1,000 cybertrucks, and the trucks would get summoned, self driving to their new owners.
I only say outrageous because of the delivery of 1,000 trucks at a party in an afternoon, it's completely reasonable that Tesla could produce 1,000...
The weight is also centrifugal force in the corners (mass you're changing the direction of) whereas wings create additional downforce without adding as much mass.
I wonder if you put low profile high grip tires and ran the cybertruck on its lowest suspension settings what it's high speed maneuverability is like. Will we see people using the rack mount points to put big downforce wings on Cybertrucks? What about aero skirts and a splitter air damn at the...
They're saying the installed production Caoacity is already OVER 125,000 a year, which would mean just December 2023 would produce 10,000 + trucks.
So if they're ramping from 2,500 a week currently, could they be at 5,000 a week, 250,000 a year, sometime in 2024? I think YES!?
