I was imagining highway speeds. also the idea of a box isn't the only way that this could be done. Also we could forget the stuff inside of the box all together and there is still the possibility of the box itself coming loose and causing damage to the truck.
Also I was just making a joke...
The 3% reduction was the last update given for the size of the Cybertruck. I'm with you, I don't want to see that thing any smaller. If anything, I could use a little extra room in the cab or bed. However Elon definitely wants to make sure that it can fit in future boring tunnels. If they...
Not really. it depends where someone would place it. If the front part slips out and sticks into the ground while you are driving, unless it just slips out the back, it could snap right there against the battery pack, then instead of a 2x4, you have more of a pointy stick is aimed at the...
I just want to say that's not a Cybertruck, just a Cybertruck replica.
Now as for the 3% shrinkage. I've mentioned this before but I don't think the 3% will necessarily come from the length at all. Originally Elon was saying that a 5% reduction in all dimensions was needed to fit in a...
Hard to tell what configurations will be available for the Cybertruck. Long range and performance have been the Tesla Standard. but i'm not sure how many people are buying a truck for performance, so it's possible that Tesla will just have the Single, dual, and tri options. Maybe they'll add...
I guess for some it'll be a good option but i'm still going to go with the argument that unless you have extra vehicles at home, you probably still need to get to work, run errands, maybe pick up kids. My wife and I will always have at least 3 vehicles, but I would probably still just opt to...
Yeah I think i'll deligate picking up the kids to the dog so my wife doesn't have to when i'm at work. I just have to train the dog so that he knows on weekday when the truck pulls up, he just runs out, gets in the driver seat, and makes sure he gets all of them inside and back home. My dog is...
so you think it looks better on Tesla to go back to analog instrument panels, with knobs and tons of buttons, than it does to have a smaller display? Also the display isn't $3,000. Maybe the cost to replace the screen and MCU together might be that much. Whether or not there is a display...
I guess it comes down to how much you value the design match your personal preference.
The Cybertruck trimotor is pretty far ahead of everyone else if we look at performance. You are getting the dual motor so the gap isn't as large. As for the other Tesla specific features / benefits like...
That's pretty common. It's unlikely that Tesla would change the price for the actual truck but it's not impossible.
Then of course options are more. I'm 99% sure that the frunk and ramp won't be options and will be on every Cybertruck. The wheels will probably be smaller than shown on the...
I've considered this as well and I'm really really really hoping for a midgate if the passthrough is an option...or even a bigger window. I'm sure I could make it through but I'm 6'3" and I am not the most flexible person. If you look at the pictures showing the back seat of the Cybertruck...
I'm not really following here. Are you saying you think Tesla will have no display at all? A screen really isn't all that expensive. Tesla doesn't need to put the same computer in a cheaper car or a screen as big as it does in the other models.
sure using voice controlls and getting turn by...
Yeah that's a much more common benefit that people will see when Tesla reaches level 5.
There are countless things that I would use a Tesla with level 5 autonomy for. I would even send it to the store to pick up a pizza that i paid for online. I'll just send the truck with an empty frunk...
If Tesla gets rid of the display...they need to add another display. Either that or they go back to analog instruments. The center display is cost saving in itself. It doesn't need to have arcade, easter eggs, youtube, netflix, or even maps. Now I'm assuming that with a Tesla, even a cheap...
The midgate passthrough is actually what I desire the most out of all the 'this may happen' sort of features that have been mentioned in tweets.
Without the midgate, it will still be very good for camping. If you wanted to sleep with the vault closed, like you said you have lots of headroom...
Yes you are correct that no one mentioned that dualies increase roll over, but I gave an example that some people just want dualies, just like some people just want dualies. The entire point of what I was saying was in respect to dualies and you compeletly ignored that, talked about the risks...
It's possible but then you are also going to not have your Cybertruck for days while you are at home and then you have to send it back before you fly back home or after and then you have no CT at home again until it returns. Unless you have another vehicle at home, and even then it just seems...
