    Cybertruck “not a real truck” says survey among truck drivers

    The article references 35% moving to electric but the survey results indicate 2% within a year, 25% within 2-3 year and 30% in 3-5 years. Not sure what the author's definition of a decade could mean. I made my reservation in June of 2020. I made it for the 500 mile range. I manage my properties...

    Official Cybertruck Accessory store is live!! Includes: Tailgate ramp, Basecamp, wrap, franz ball decal and more

    There would be no way a fifth wheel with the skid plate to work with the sails but a goose neck type fifth wheel hitch may work depending on the trailer design.

    Honoring Original Estimated Pricing

    If Tesla took the $69,000 (best recollection of price at reservation) for the 3 motor truck and inflated each year the cost would be $83,800 (approximately, my financial math sucks). I have to think that the cost reductions in casting, motors, batteries and process will more than make up for...

    This is interesting and I too have been wondering what will come of a 5th wheel option. There are batteries below the bed I assume. Since it appears the rear wheels may be closer to the back of the truck, perhaps the 5th wheel hitch could be placed further back in the truck and avoid the sails...

    Mathew indicated that the sizes are calculated. His information is no better than most other measurement estimations. He marketed it as if he was told by Execs. I suspect he was not told dimension.

    FSD v11 Released to Customers.

    I have the FSD package no my 2019 M3. I have the Beta package and have been using it off & on. I have seen incremental improvements along the way but realize it has not been ready for more than Beta. My biggest disappointment is that though I have bought and paid for the FSD, the newest hardware...

    Lidar sensor spotted on Cybertruck prototype

    It has occurred to me several times during a heavy snow storm. Even if the lane lines are visible, cameras drop out as they become covered with snow. The FSD then disengages due to low visibility. If I were in a Robotaxi, I would not be very happy if the car just stopped. Need something to...

    Lidar sensor spotted on Cybertruck prototype

    What I said was snow accumulates on cameras thereby not allowing self driving. If anybody has driven in a snow storm, it is obvious. And no I and all the others on the road do not pull over and wait for it to stop snowing. My comment was that something else needs to back up full vision during a...

    Have you never driven in snow? A ridiculous reply.

    Lidar sensor spotted on Cybertruck prototype

    I believe the vision cannot be the only solution. I live in Utah and whenever it snows, cameras go offline. Something more is needed. Sometimes I think the engineers at Tesla get locked into a "California" environment is transferable around the world. Hopefully the latest patents on radar/lidar...

    Any 500mi range updates?

    But what will it cost? As consumption is reduced, pricing of gasoline should increase. At what point do gas stations begin not selling gasoline? Gasoline comes with leaking issues and other regulatory problems that may cause it to be too expensive to sell.

    Will you be trading/re-selling your current Tesla for the Cybertruck?

    We currently have a Model 3. Will be selling our Lincoln Hybrid and an old pickup truck to purchase the Cybertruck. Model 3 will be sold and a new Model Y will be purchased. Completely electric at that point.

    Space Camper for Cybertruck announced

    The reason I have reserved the 3 motor is the potential long range to pull a small trailer. Should be okay for my use. The price is too great for a camper with no room inside.

    Bought TSLA stock today

    Why do you see the downward spiral lasting until Mar/Apr? Just curious about that statement. SpaceX will be too long of an investment horizon for me as I look to be retired in just a few years. I keep looking for money to buy more shares of Tesla but alas I can only come up with 2 or 3 at a time.
