Nooooo… Aptera speeds are never above eco. Cyber* are definitely above aerodynamic. CF is fine at low speed(<60 mph) for Aptera. It’s not >60 mph as wiper ass’y begins to lift. The BAW relies on weight to swipe, stay attached and parked at rest.

This is how the media reported Magneto This is how Stellantis have structured the roadmap

EM wants 12 Giga factories. 30% profit was unheard of, immoral if not illegal when AAPL broke new ground with its Cybertruck - the iPhone. Decades later Apple remains _the_most successful profitable company in history of world. TSLA is on a mission. Time is of the essence. It’s going to good...

FORD shoe’d their Bronco with AT’s at least. Jeep rushed renders dressed in street tires. Stellantis know better…its marque is slipping. There’s this re-badge wine model, Giga strategy and MaaS scheme…DaaS concept that’s almost dead but for Canoo, Fisker and a bevy of offshore OEM’s bringing...

Youtube clip just out projecting pricing elasticity means demand for the EV pickup could make Tesla 50% profit margin.

In the Midwest, I sold a front or rear clip every other month. My college car was a brand new ‘71 Monte Carlo proudly sporting a rear bumper smashed against its backseat. Found a rear clip in DENver 900miles away and welded the two together in time for Semester start. Clip method is a pretty...

I recollect that EM put that comment in time frame. So while true Tesla are not battery constrained for SOP Cybertruck, the ramp might get tight in out years. The UCSD battery teardown doesn’t pass my sniff test. The academics, chemistry and reverse engineered deconstruction are top-rated. Its...

Critically, notice that the floor of the rear bed is below tire height occupying space needed to accommodate F-1 cantilever. Notice, the 2X distance above the wheel arch as opposed to terminating up-travel at the wheel arch(i.e. conventional). Tesla owns the structural framework above the tire...

Cantilever? I assumed the sailplane up inside had volume for any size shock components. Nah, can’t be right neither. The castings have the shock towers.

Those OEM’s like FORD(!FORDe) that choose to continue ICE as an exit strategy are writing off Capex. With nothing to lose, written off to salvage value the ICE vehicle volumes continue to 3rd world and dwindling 1st markets. Expect strong downward pricing pressure making Joe Blow a great deal...

RWS cost is negligible. Wishbone suspension on all four corners implies full parts utilization rather than separate part nos. for front and rear. SO the savings from fixed rear struts, reduction in parts will be contributing savings to added RWS cost. RWS adds LF spindle ass'y to RR and RF to...

Interesting…MY Front casting 185# Rear casting 165# Steel front shock tower fish plate reinforced Serviceable mounting extensions bolted onto casting Integrated McPherson upper strut mount Rear casting non-removable, unserviceable Chemical bond superiority over mechanical and welded Castings...

There’s a nuance. There’s a Camel’s nose inbetween price.v.cost. The fact is Joe Blow has to buy an expensive EV. That upfront price differential between EV.vs. ICE exists in his buy decision which the ICE MSRP == costs less to acquire. To Joe Blow the EV would cost more money out-of-pocket...

Short answer Tesla already has nice, decent motors. Elon simply doesn’t see anything axial motors can contribute to Tesla, yet… Tl;dr The long answer Cybertruck doesn’t need high RPM + horsepower that CF enables, anyway. So especially in the front axel, no application there for CF, smaller or...

Welcome to the Uncanny Valley. Both perspectives are possible @happy intruder & @Crissa. Tesla is linear projected to scale MASSIVE. OR Tesla could hit a bump in the road settling for an AAPL-like niche of 30% margin. Four hundred other manufacturers, OEM automakers, startups and JV companies...

NOTICE: the URL link carbon copy of cybertruckownersclub.com RECON: Jeep shows the EV Recon in ”yellow gold”==Goldilocks Recon design narrows the wide Wrangler vehicle stance Its buttgly design is a brute in loafers needs after market fixed 4xe runs Rubicon as well as a 2003 Jeep Rubicon, it’s...

190lbs. Koengisegg paired inverter axial flux motors Overkill on the front of a CT, I expect weight savings will see their adoption. Cybertruck doesn’t need that much power driving the steering axels. Tesla’s Gen1 dual motor rear drive unit remains my truck preferred embodiment for...

Its not legit. Its Lucid. Its the UAE financed competitor that boasts more hp than Tesla so I thought it’d be a likeness to what to expect from a re-engineered drive unit for Quad CT.

Process is trade secret behind many a recipe for success. I agree. I don’t give much credence to experts and question the optimism which perchance triggered Reuters to run with what they had.
