I said this is speculation. We will know it if the wheel castings and batteries become a single structure, as my photo shows, or if the castings are separately connected to the exoskeleton as separate components.
We are saying the same thing. I am saying simply saying before the battery structure connected to the front and rear castings, that was not the original design concept.
i believe the new Cybertruck, with newly designed front and rear castings, will be more like this with the stainless body sitting on top. The body will structuraly strengthen it, but it is no longer the exoskeleton concept initially described if Tesla goes this way. It also solves a lot of the...
When Tesla changed direction in a cast front and rear connected with a structural battery the whole exoskeleton design based weight and cost savings was no longer in the equation. It is now a body on frame.
Yes..Cab on frame. Actually everything changed with new large castings, allowing for a single large supporting structural under the cab, which were not in the original Cybertruck concept. The Cybertruck cab no longer needs the same structural strength as before.
From the time the Cybertruck was first announced the whole structural design has changed for all Tesla vehicles with a structural battery and casts front and rear. It is really a cab on frame now. Front and rear castings structurally connected to the structural battery.This is totally different...
Arenāt we over looking in this discussion that over half of the Cybertrucks presently on order, nearly 600,000; over two years of production capacity, are already the $70,000 Tri-motor version. I would be surprised if many of those buyers would back out if it increased to $80,000 for the quad...
As usual Musk is one step ahead.

The global shortage of chips has forced carmakers to take unprecedented measures in an attempt to reduce the impact...
it appears to be the same height 72ā, width 78ā and wheelbase.as my FJ. Even the tire and wheel size appear close. It isnāt a large pickup size for sure. I love the looks and size. My FJ has the aerodynamics of a phone booth. It is going to feel like I am driving a rocket.
