One thing that seems pretty clear from the pics. The tires that are currently sported by the prototype are not what will go on the production model. The ones on the prototype are clearly marked "not for highway use".
I would advocate a rugged terrain tire (aka hybrid terrain) as an option. I...
The tracker is up North of 800k reservations. By the time Tesla starts production, it could be approaching 1M reservations. If there is a 40% to 50% conversion rate, we still are North of 400k CTs that need to be delivered.
If the initial reviews from customers come out solid on fit/finish...
Years ago there was a vehicle from Mazda called the MPV, so I can't vote for that one...it was a crossover vehicle and not very exciting.
XCV: eXtreme Capabilities Vehicle ?
it appears to me that front tow hooks would be an easy manufacturing feature standard in the air intake just like on our traditional trucks. The rear tow hook could be in the towing receiver as an owner aftermarket add on. I’d like it if a winch were a factory option as well.
The prototype does look nice overall. The thing that they will need to alter about the hitch, IMO, is that it appears the receiver is not long enough to get past the bumper. That could make for some issues if you have the need to use a drop, or more importantly, a rise hitch. Also, since the...
I just found a video which got a good view of the back of the middle seat. No vents that I could see there but it’s pretty hard to tell black on black and this is just a prototype. Please do report back if you are able to see the interior.
I just watched another video from reveal night. The motor1.com ride video gives some good views of the dash and I can clearly see the hvac is very similar to the m3 For the front seat passengers. It is one long slit. The black dash that starts out against the windshield as it meets the marbled...
The thing about side mirrors is they are a major contributor to both road noise and aero drag...at least big tow mirrors are. Plus, mirrors are the thing that gets wacked on tight trails, are a pain to clean bugs and mud from, etc. I'm hoping that the CT thinks outside the box and gives us...
all 3/4 ton trucks have extendable mirrors...all of the trucks coming out now are electric extendable as well. I really feel the trimotor CT is competing in the 3/4 ton truck single rear wheel territory, so whatever camera solution they have in mind would need to see down the side of the...
I'm looking for actual towing range numbers. If Tesla were to put out some figures of the CT towing a utility trailer with a Polaris Ranger and some cargo weight on it, then I'd be happy. I'd also be eagerly awaiting to see how autopilot and the rest of the software does when towing. Elon...
The thing I don't get is that glass just fore of the screen/tweeter at the corner of the a-pillar. From the outside it looks nice enough, but it looks like you get basically zero useful visibility from it on the driver's side. The picture here is taken from a better angle than even the driver...
Since one of the top 3 things I see people wanting to mod for the CT is wheels, I have been thinking about that a bit and even posted some images of the CT with different wheels.
After watching several youtube videos, I realized that the wheels have a decent amount of effect on range on the...
I want to be able to throw crap in the bed like I've done with all my other lined truck beds and not worry about dents or scratches that instantly age the truck and also turn into rust. The stainless aspect may give me that. I would definitely just line it if it weren't for the T slots based...
I'm going to guess that the current design of the tonneau is that the cover doesn't roll up into a cylindrical shape, but rather it parks itself in an l shape in the back wall and just under the bed or under the floorboard when stowed. It needs to be long enough to make that angular distance, so...
I'm extremely curious what peoples experiences are going to be on how the bed holds up and how hauling things in the bed holds up and also the dynamic of how things might tend to slide around without that texturized surface that is a bed liner.. I've never had a truck bed without lining, so...
One of the advantages of 5th wheel is the ability to go near perpendicular for backing into tight spots. That would crunch the side rails of the cybertruck. There have been some threads on it here.
