Good callout @JBee! I didn’t catch Tesla does have flex to move the b-pillar on Cybertruck. Just 1mm can feel like an inch inside an interior. That’s a smoothe move. Notice the yoke opens useable front driver space. Fingers crossed Tesla Yoke gets elect-over-hydraulic, speed sensitive and...

At least you don’t have to admit changing wives with two different families! LOL

Gen-Z and millennials have a whole wad of dough to spend I never could afford with young’uns in carseats. True to my oldest 41yo just now contemplating babyhood; she can afford an Audi(partly my fault starting her in a VW Jetta V6). You got many young’uns in carseats, there. For a F-150...

Tesla needs a @charliemagpie consult how to hookup algorithms into a useful metric for the Driver. Tesla Insurance even has a hook. TMI UX design as a Driver. Cyber needs to be rendering a useful graphic, hard metric or composite view of the informations.

You could join Chuck L.H. turn fame A Charlie’s unknown unknown for Tesla — Charlie speed OR 10k less <?> is that 10 kilometer or another metric like 10k off your insurance limits driving like Madmax.

Staying with %’s…ABRP @100% drives up A.M. to work. Cybertruck MTY @89% SOC from ABRP makes a concrete bag run into town i.e. Cascade from atop Pikes Peak. At bottom of the hill ~92% DOC; a gain from regen. Load up bags of concrete powder to the gills(ahem, tonneau) close up the back and turn...

Stanford study posits that by charging EV’s at home we’re doing it wrong. At least, at the wrong time. An over abundance of energy riches from RE(wind, solar) are being squandered on California‘s grid. Due to electricity rate structures from a time before solar and wind, current grid growth no...

Yep, right -on! IF the reference is to the eastern US Blue Ridge mountains they are beautiful. But slow driving, curvy, lots of trees and black bears. No downhill runs to regen on the roads. Steep up/steep down and its over in just as short a time - still mountains. Just not the size as out...

Bogeymen never go away. “Range” finds its way back. Regardless Elon’s assertions to the contrary, pickups are work trucks. They must haul, trailer, carry and travel well. Stopping every 100mi. for 30min. does not kill the Bogeyman. Bogeyman creeped into the Quad motor discussion. After 1/2...

HEPA - I read an in-depth piece on Tesla that went into its air filtration. It stated that Tesla uses the HVAC industry standard of particulate matter compared to HEPA orders of magnitude smaller size. Takeaway was why did Tesla forego HEPA standard? IDK WTF Tesla means by BioDefense at all...

Above 41st parallel is where Ford pickups reign and rolling coal originated.

That’s a “Semi“ product, Tesla patentable IP just begging a RE three letter acronym i.e. VPP. Where recouped energy savings from convoy comms link effects fractional transaction savings to a TUG Semi at the very front. Interestingly, its a second network product. Its effects propagate Tesla...

SO Tesla has deliberately broken its UI to customers outside the U.S. I’m in the nation of Panama. It is an asinine tech-ie way of handling a Tesla customer. Did Tesla kill Human Factors when it canned its Marketing Dept.? Tesla joins VENMO who also cripples its UI for its customers outside...

Have not driven a Cybertruck, haven’t seen a CT – never even touched one or part of one. To be fair, few people have. SO its early days, too early to judge anyone when the only thing they have is a media picture of a Cybertruck. Any hesitancy is to be expected. There’s the reason all cars look...

O.K. Share the CT Luv here. What is known about: StarLink mt pt Pass-thru panel Active charging Slope Angle sensor 2way Bed weight gauge sensor 96A DUAL charge ports 900v LiFePO Solar Snowplow attachment mounts 40” MT tire size wheel wells 5th wheel attachment mounts Interior colors Tow Range...

Oh god… I bought 7 cars weekly in the business but never personally replaced my own ride 4 times in three years. My ride is 25y.o. Expect a CT to ride longer, farther. It’s apples to apples. No one can buy a Tesla Cybertruck. No one can buy a Ford Lightning. Order books closed on both —...

Cheap, easy and high performance 2X torque 1/2 weight 1/2 volume ~2X HP Cheap, easy and high performance - pick two!

Rivian is who rattled EM. Quad isn’t silly. Its just ridiculous that Elon has $65MM on a totally different Cybertruck. AND you can’t order what no longer exists on its website anymore. This is what Tesla website presents when a buyer clicks on the Cybertruck ORDER button.

You might be onto something…you and @JBee No one has a clue, tell or otherwise what Cybertruck is actually going to platform anymore. SO Until… plebes have to go with what was shown as standard Tesla drive units, plaid CF wrapped motors mentioned. Whatever Quad reveals could halo. The Big Q...

Agree to disagree then. Quantizing pre-order interest, $65MM provides more than imaginary interest in buying. The maxim has been that $100 bill will stop people from looking elsewhere. But its refundable. Your point is all 650k+ RN could walk away. Understood. That doesn’t translate to...
