  1. Cybertruck Trailer Hitch/Casting Failure @10,400 lbs *VERTICAL LOAD*

    Finally, straight from horse’s mouth! Thanks for sharing, @CyberGus!
  2. Cybertruck Trailer Hitch/Casting Failure @10,400 lbs *VERTICAL LOAD*

    Here’s a great video that explains what I’m saying above way better. In that video, he mentions that 10K lbs failure point means Cybertruck is 3.5 times better than F450 Towing limit!! As I said above, 1,100 lbs Tongue Weight does account for Dynamic load of the 11,000 lbs trailer. OEMs do skip...
  3. Cybertruck Sales on hold due to panels flying off!!

    Ugh! Not again. The best thing we owners could do is to do word of mouth advertising to get as many CTs on road as possible. That’s the only way to curb down the hate, vandalism, and everything in between. Go talk to anybody who doesn’t hate Cybertruck, and win them over to get one in the...
  4. Cybertruck Trailer Hitch/Casting Failure @10,400 lbs *VERTICAL LOAD*

    Now we are talking about two different things - Dynamic load based on inertia versus vertical Dynamic load on the hitch that some are hypothesizing to be problem in CT. As I said above, please research on how skid plate testing is done to arrive at the Tongue weight. It *does* account for...
  5. Cybertruck Trailer Hitch/Casting Failure @10,400 lbs *VERTICAL LOAD*

    Tongue weight accounts for the ballpark of Dynamic load. Have you tried weighing the tongue weight of a 11,000 lbs trailer with a hitch scale? I have done that, and it can never be 6000 lbs. The skid plate testing that’s done by OEMs accounts for all these parameters to finally arrive at the...
  6. Cybertruck Trailer Hitch/Casting Failure @10,400 lbs *VERTICAL LOAD*

    I can’t believe people are taking this negatively. Technically what this means is CT can handle 100,000 lbs towing as Tongue weight is at the ballpark of 10% of the trailer weight. Dynamic weight can never be equal to Trailer weight, unless Trailer tilts magically by 90 degrees and all of the...
  7. Public REACTIONS to Your Cybertruck (and Your Reaction)? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    I had one similar incident. All I had to do was switch lanes when it was safe (very important) and feather tap the pedal! My Beast was a mile away from that idiot in a few mins. The last thing I want is someone rear ending me because the jerk in the front hates Elon and decided to act like a...
  8. Cybertruck may be headed to Australia market, reveals Tesla's Australia & New Zealand Director

    Finally, a place without US polarization - CT will be seen for what it is without all the bias and hate!
  9. Could they make the Cyberbeast even quicker?

    I would pay extra for completely eliminating motor whining/rumbling before I need more acceleration. I also worry about the stress on suspension for sub 2 seconds launch. 6000 lbs metal mass with insane acceleration might cause excessive wear and tear on the suspension.
  10. Trading Lightning Lariat and Model Y for Cybertruck

    I owned R1T but switched to CT. I’m 100% happy with the choice. The vaulted truck bed with complete flat space is a HUGE advantage. Adjustable suspension and SBW makes it such a great utility truck, and it goes without saying what the benefits of dent resistant body are! I love my CT to heart...
  11. Cybertruck crash that killed 3 college students in SF Bay Area blamed on drunk driving, drugs, speeding

    Yep! Alcohol and drugs don’t mix with anything. An entire generation of youth is now enslaved to these things. If there are three words that can ruin someone’s life, it’s “just one drink”!
  12. Cybertrucks now given out as loaners

    Yep, but it’s limited, and they give it to only CT owners. I have had four early morning SC appointments so far, but I still couldn’t manage to get a CT loaner. Hope they roll out more. Model X/Y loaner feels like an old horse cart compared to CT! ?
  13. Front Axle Replacement underway for my Cybertruck

    I had my front motor replaced a few weeks ago for the exact rumbling issue at low speeds (less than 10 mph). The problem is less severe but still exists. I’m just not going to push this further. The truck is so silent that these minute rumblings are amplified and audible. If it worsens in a year...
  14. Public REACTIONS to Your Cybertruck (and Your Reaction)? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    Based on what I know about Elon, he is not going back off and leave whatever he is doing, even if that burns down Tesla. The only way to address this is to get super strict with law and order. Cause-effect is the only thing people with mental disorders understand. The biggest problem with people...
  15. Drag strip track day 1/8 mile times -- need to vent…

    Same as someone saying what’s the big deal about roller coaster, or paragliding, or even sex ?. The dopamine kick from instant acceleration is thrilling and addictive. It’s not about being first, at least on normal roads. If nobody is on the road, someone might launch more. Driving Beast for me...
  16. Tesla - please use AI to get stats on distracted drivers

    lol! There is no personal data collected. Do you say the same when traffic cameras catch you if you jump the signal and get photographed? That’s PII data as you get a ticket. This is not even PII data. The data correlation is done locally and discarded. AI will analyze body/hand movement and put...
  17. Tesla - please use AI to get stats on distracted drivers

    Brilliant! You pretty much summarized my entire post in one sentence. FSD should do risk assessment and also inform me of the risk level to take certain routes. This data should also be shared publicly. There is no personal data collected.
  18. Tesla - please use AI to get stats on distracted drivers

    Now that I have FSD, I have the luxury to “quickly” check what other drivers are doing, especially during bumper-to-bumper traffic. I was expecting probably one out of 5 drivers might be distracted. It’s INSANE how many people are distracted while driving - checking phones, doing makeup, eating...
