Seems as if the vehicle should be able to go into a low power mode and still operate instead of shutting down completely.

Do tell, what do you think "really" happened? He crashed it somewhere else then had it transported by helicopter and dropped in the desert?

When I had my 3 delivered Tesla handled everything and I had no contact with the delivery company until the vehicle showed up. Tesla hired the carrier, not me.

Did you read this from the OP?

Could have been overnight if the wind was strong enough. Though I'd expect to see more sand inside the vehicle.

I had my '22 Model 3 delivered to save me a 10+ hour round trip, worth every penny, but in my case the car was clean. The driver did almost come off the ramps crooked when unloading until I stopped him :eek: Communication with Tesla seems to have been better back then though.

Are we looking at the same thing? That Cybertruck won't be walkin' anywhere.

I think you may be over emphasizing weight when aerodynamics play a greater roll when long distance towing at speed. Once the vehicle and trailer are up to speed the weight impact is much less, (unless a lot of hill climbing is involved.)

A bed cap that is flat from the peak of the CT roof all the way back would probably help a lot. Something like this:

Because it's an opinion you don't like? You think he joined this forum over a year ago, made 90+ comments, just to post an "ad" now?

The "U" channel may be too loose, you could try crimping it a bit with some pliers or vice grips to make it hold better.

You may need to watch on a larger screen. The CT starts out moving behind the trailer away from it and goes up the driveway.

For science? ?

That's what I was wondering about, if it could have been mistakenly put in off road mode?

That is generally the way technology progresses, you build off of the work of others and don't have to start from scratch each time.

Rimac has created some impressive vehicles over the years. I remember him from the DIYelectriccar forums when he was just learning how to convert his BMW to EV, he went on to build a world class EV supercar, (years before the new Telsa Roadster has come out by the way).

Of course but I wouldn't expect the amount of uninterrupted squeal you describe. Never had it with any other vehicle with ABS and Traction control.

The squealing tires? Functioning traction control would not allow that to happen nor would functioning ABS.

Wonder what? I saw the trailers in person, (he used to live near me), and they worked. I think he left out the battery hookup details because he was hoping to make some money from what he figured out by advising others how to do it, not sure if anyone tried to replicate it though. My guess is...
