I am glad to see some thought being put into this.
here are my thoughts:
-the body could easily be made from thinner steel or aluminum in a mars version, but why bother? He will have the heavy lift capability and can send a launch every month if needed. And spare steel sheets won’t go to waste...
I assume there is an issue with the cargo bed. there’s probably an engineer saying that bio defense in the cargo bed will mean additional seals at the tonneau and tailgate. Also cargo beds have to have drains in them so they don’t fill with water, whether that means out through the tailgate or...
No it isn’t. The heavy lifting capabilities we will have by the time a CT is needed on Mars will be sufficient.
If you think about it, a roadster was a wasteful thing to send into space....Musk can send a CT to Mars if he wants to.
Also a Mars Version can be lighter weight, a CT has a lot of USA...
I don’t know how the law is in your area, but I plan to keep collusion insurance on the vehicle. The premium for insurance is your best metric for how expensive they are to repair and how resistant they are to minor damage. Like any vehicle there is a simple percentage of loss calculated by your...
Most likely it won’t ship with those huge aggressive tires. Picture it on some 255/40r18’s in an all terrain tread. That will lower it a few inches. Plus it will be at the bottom of its air suspension when parked. You can probably judge from one of the videos or the CT AR app about how high it...
Ditching an X5 and an Infiniti m35x. I spread my DD over 2-3 cars because of my business. I’ll use the CT for everything non business related and for most business purchasing. I’ll be retiring to Florida in a few years and it’ll be my only car down there. Moving close to canaveral to build a...
Steel doesnt go into landfills. Unless you stuff the crashed truck into a regular hopper truck that picks up curbside trash. A Cybertruck would have to be processed similar to a Prius before going into a landfill....all the batteries and dangerous parts will need to be removed, then the frame...
