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

    Spare parts tools? I have had to limp back a few times. Its also why I rarely go out alone. Edit to add: I have seen a few full sized rigs, but they are few and far between. I don't worry much about the pin stripes even on my dailies, but not having to worry about rust because of them is a...

    Cybertruck competitor's mid-gate

    Pretty sure there wont be room, the spare will probably get thrown into the back to bounce around

    Cybertruck competitor's mid-gate

    I would definitely be down for that, my spares get used and its usually where road side service wont go.

    We have some definite challenges ahead.

    When we moved in we installed a wood burning stove instead of a pellet stove for auxiliary heating because the power at the time was too unreliable. It got better but we still have a lot of issues with our power from time to time.

    We have some definite challenges ahead.

    Already in work, I have 5kw of solar already installed, and am hoping to get another 2.5kw and battery storage by the end of the year. We have already started transitioning off of natural gas too. Just have the stove and the water heater to go. We have also been working on the house itself...

    We have some definite challenges ahead.

    The challenges I am referring to is being able to produce enough electricity to avoid rolling blackouts. As we shut down fossil fueled power plants, transition homes fossil fuels for heat, and transition to electric for transportation things can and I expect them to get pretty dicy. Replacing...

    Cybertruck prototype spotted again on Fremont track. (2/7/2022)

    Pretty sure that is a Flux Oscillator, they are very similar but are much easier to tune when coupled with the Oscilation Overthruster. As far as what they are doing, who knows all we can do is guess.

    Cybertruck prototype spotted again on Fremont track. (2/7/2022)

    Except some of us can't. While the delays are making it easier, (I don't have to replace the Nissan just yet) if the cost goes up too much I will wind up getting an ICE powered truck. I would rather get an electric, and in my area the others aren't an option because there is very little in...

    More FUD from CNBC

    The stopping for pedestrians.... all but one was pedestrians in the crosswalk, even with a green light you are supposed to stop. Just because its tradition to not stop in Brooklyn doesn't mean the car should be programmed to not stop for them. They even used the fact that it was an option to...

    So the Ford has a spare, right?

    I have never seen lock tight applied to the hold down for the spare. I have seen and had spares that had gone flat. But then I have pickups with the spare under the bed with a crank down to lower the spare. I have flats on average about 1 every year or two as long as you don't count the Jeep...

    They actually showed the beta disengaging when the camera was covered, and warning him for using the phone.

    More FUD from CNBC

    Unless I am mistaken regular autopilot does not use the interior camera? If it doesn't the consumer reports lady complaining about it not working at the top of the screen it said she was using regular autopilot.

    Cybertruck App Store

    The ability to integrate 3rd party software that already does much of the offline maps, trails etc. I know there are security issues so it would be best if they are incorporated into the main package.

    Highway Charging While Driving

    Yeah I have figured out how it would work after I posted. The minimum frequency would be determined by the capacitance created by the plates on the car and the plates on the ground.

    Highway Charging While Driving

    A charged plate has an electrical field, for it to make a magnetic field you would need to be flowing electrons. You can have both an electric and magnetic field like you have around power lines. To move charge you need a conductive plate, sheet or wire in parallel. Capacitors are built...

    Highway Charging While Driving

    You are thinking kilowatt hours. If your car takes 300wh to drive a mile at 60mph (1 minute per mile) it is drawing 18kw from the battery pack. From an earlier post there is a difference between an electric field and a magnetic field. When you rub a balloon on your head and your hair stands...
