    New Cybertruck Height Perspective Image ? ?✂️⬇️

    Cell phone cameras typically have a pretty wide angle lens on them which distorts the image as well.

    New Cybertruck Height Perspective Image ? ?✂️⬇️

    If Joe Rogan is 5'8" (68 inches) the Cybertruck cant be only 58 inches tall. (especially when it looks to me that the camera is lower than the top of his head) Though it would be reasonable if at the lowest setting the truck is 68 inches tall and 76 inches tall at the highest setting. Keep...

    Same old story on CT update

    I am definitely in the undecided camp. I don't necessarily need to replace my truck as it is still reliable, but I have owned it for 23 years now and it is definitely showing its age and mileage. If it should die tomorrow I wouldn't have to replace it right away, however many of the options to...

    White House to Meet with GM, Ford, others to Discuss EVs

    In recent years the word privileged has been used as an attack to mean you don't deserve what you have. I doubt you meant to use it in that fashion but the way you worded it came out the same way as when it is used as an attack.

    BREAKING: 324kW Tesla Superchargers Are Coming Later This Year! [Up From Current 250kW]

    Using the model 3 and Y with their smaller pack have a peak charge just north of 3C which tapers to approximately 1C by 80%. If we apply that charge rate to my guesstimate of 200kwh that would be 600kw that the pack can handle. 324 would come out to 1.6C and if it has the same profile as the...

    Side sail area?

    3mm is approximately the same thickness as the tube wall thickness I used to build the roll cage in my Jeep. Its thick enough to round the edges. However its more than likely not that thick since it isn't structural and would have folded edges.

    Cybertruck Photos Leaked! ? [Added: Video Showing Whole Truck -- Rear & Bed]

    Personally I prefer no bedliner, the bare metal makes it much easier to slide heavy items in and out. To keep things from sliding around I use ratchet straps. To each their own. I am happy to see that they gave the under bed storage hatch decent ribs to prevent it from bending. The latch...

    Rumors of Two Cybertruck Versions (Including Smaller "Wolverine") & March Reveal Event

    When I first started seeing the article I had serious doubts. I still have them, all of the articles are just re-hashes of the same story... or just flat out copies. All doubts aside I would probably cancel my Cybertruck reservation over the compact one. I just don't believe the news. I...

    4x4 equivalent

    For actual off road vs standard 4x4 in say a F-150 my guestimate would be about on par between the two. With the 4x4 the transfer case locks the front and rear axles together so both drive shafts run at the same speed no matter what (one of the main differences in my book between 4x4 and awd)...

    RAT Ram Air Turbine for camping with the CT

    Sorry no like people keep saying you will loose more range than you generate, Those little wind turbines operate at a relatively high speed and you sacrifice some of your glide slope to have power for at least the essentials when all of the engines fail so that you can at least make a...

    DAily Caller: Are Electric Vehicles A Scam?

    I think you misunderstood my question and comments, there is little problem, as in almost none. The few problems we have were listed, most people here wont have a problem. Many people here use swamp coolers, gas stoves and heaters. Many electric stoves only draw 30A and that is if you run...

    DAily Caller: Are Electric Vehicles A Scam?

    As someone who lives in a rural area, and even with a 500 mile range on a ICE truck our excursions sometimes involve a bit of range anxiety. Let me say that even for my usage the article is BS. A little clarification? Are you talking about at home parking or parking in town? At home yes...

    What will happen to diesel powered equipment?

    Even looking at ICE cars. Some states/countries are looking at ICE free (no new ICE vehicles sold) in the 2030-2035 timeframe, and that is for light duty, though I do expect the delivery vans and short haul tractor trailer rigs to transition about the same timeframe. The average ICE car lasts...

    Hunting in the Cybertruck

    I don't hunt but have friends that do, isn't it illegal in most states to hunt most animals at night, and isn't it also illegal to hunt from a vehicle? As far as starlink in the woods it wouldn't work very well, the trees will block the signal. I am hoping for the ability to cache maps like...

    Not sure about the excitement regarding crab walk feature..

    It would be interesting if they had a free steer via the touch screen or scroll wheels. However most people would probably get themselves into trouble with it. 4 wheel steer could definitely be useful, but my main concern is that feature creep will up the cost too much as the cyber is already...

    Cybertruck vs R1T vs F150 Lightning : Ben Sullins' thoughts after riding in each

    An opinion is an opinion, he states that this is his opinion many times. I think many of you are bashing him because you disagree with his opinion. He stated he is not a truck person anyways, so why giving it so much attention? Saying that he does have a point. The following has lots of my...

    Show it off - Veterans

    Like many of the veterans here I cringe but try to keep it polite when someone calls me a hero. I served 4 years during peace time, did my job took the GI bill and got a degree.

    Let's be honest - who disliked and/or was repulsed by the Cybertruck when they first saw it?

    A little background. I had already been looking into replacing the 1999 Nissan Pickup, it had served me with distinction but is just flat out getting worn out. Since we already had our 2015 F-150 which can do pretty much everything the Nissan can and it tows much better. Even though its fat...

    500+ mile range battery pack upgrade option?

    I agree that's why we are working on ways to be able to afford the tri-motor (the $7500 incentive that just came back will help)

    500+ mile range battery pack upgrade option?

    I would bet the price difference between the dual motor pack and the tri motor pack is $10,000 or less. Here is my reasoning. 1. During battery day the expected price per kwh for the cells was between $50 and $60 /kwh. For a 110kwh approximate increase in battery size $6,600 for the cells...
