Just making the point that the evidence is pointing to the original post not actually showing a bent control arm due to off-road use. This is a newer rc unit — I am not saying the upper control arm isn’t light duty just that the original premise was probably wrong!

Latest image of the new matte black RC upper control arm, same “bent” look. It may be a lighter duty control arm but this whole discussion is probably a nothing burger.

I added screenshots!

I'll eat my hat if they can do 100kWh 350 miles :ROFLMAO:

I think this is still high likelihood. It seems that 100-110Wh per gen2 cell is fairly realistic considering the recent comments on earnings call saying that their latest 4680 cells are 10% increase in energy density. 1450 Cells * 110 Wh = 159,500 Wh, in other words ~159kWh. If we assume 400...

Yes and also @LCS the picture of the CT assembly line has the CT frame setup for a structural battery pack which implies confirmed 4680.

Not confirmed - people speculate both ways

Trust me man, I truly hope it is 400-500mi of range. But no not just dual motor, I think this is the limit of the batteries + efficiency they can achieve with current 4680 capacity, but I am hopeful that they will have a 500mi range Cybertruck eventually. Maybe a few years from now.

This seems increasingly likely now with the 350mi range rumors. I hope they aren't true!

But you are also missing a main point: Convenience and Value. What is it worth to you to be off grid keeping a camp stove, cooler, heating - all online without electricity nearby? All the while being perfectly integrated into the car software! But your broader economics point is still correct. I...

If the back seats lift up to expose a flat load floor I will be converting it to a huge dog bed + personal hotel room for my pup.

Armor glass, rock chips are a thing of the past (hopefully :))

Tesla is cutting prices to stoke demand - I think this is a good sign that they are starting to get more competitive as consumers are buying less cars in high interest rate environment. This also bodes well for Cybertruck price. Quad Motor long range released at $80k? (10k increase from Tri...

Whoa whoa... Nice bikes cost like $10k. High end mountain bikes and road bikes $$$

@Dids @Crissa new video from The Limiting Factor released 30 minutes ago: Confirming my priors here, Jordan see's a peak 612kW on a 168kWh Cybertruck - with 700kW if CT has 200kWh pack. Really simple C-Rate limitations for battery longevity. We will not see 1MW charging on the CT.

1k+ cars makes sense for 4680 Model Y since current design is 828 cells per pack, 868k cells per week == 1k+ cars per week. Cybertruck should use around 1520 cells per pack which is around 570 Cybertrucks per week!

I can help. If the Cybertruck has an efficiency between 0.32 and 0.425 kWh per mile - lets call it smack dab in the middle: 0.373 kWh per mile. If we take 212 kWh battery pack given above with 0.373 kWh/mile we get 212/0.373 = 568 miles of range. Battery pack being reduced to 160 kWh with the...
