Or "I'm badder than the MagnaVolt from Robocop 2!"

The German Technical Museum in Munich (amazing place!) used to have a stainless steel Porsche Turbo Carrera. You can bet it took a lot of labor, towels, and glass cleaner to keep it spotless!

Neither am I, and except for a bottom-end vehicle where one can pay to enable extra features, I don't see the sense in it. But IBM has done that for years with its mainframes, called Capacity on Demand or something like that; pay extra (you pay by usage on them, not just for the machine...

Dick Morris would probably like that. Regular folks, not so much.

Might be tight for two, but one diagonally, head on the high end (nearer the cab) should have a tolerable amount of room unless they're quite tall, or insist on being totally straight and not curled up a bit. Not a first choice, but if there's a shortage of alternatives, it's better than all...

The most hardcore greenies want people to all be low-tech zero-impact vegans, which is NOT scalable, meaning they want to be rid of a lot of people; not themselves, of course.

Alaska is interesting, given AFAIK only one supercharger in the state, not to mention limited battery performance in severe cold.

I'm wondering if there's a way (without using the app) to open the tonneau cover from within the bed, not to mention whether there's some ventilation. Maintaining some sort of temperature in the bed when closed would be nice, but at least not suffocating if camping in there would be really good.

The bare stainless if not polished is a bit gray as well as white metal color, neither as hot as black nor showing as much dirt as either black or white; different but not as showy as warp nacelle blue (metallic cyan that looks like it's glowing, my favorite) or ticket bait like candy apple red...

Makes me think of bus wipers, that are not synchronized. Not horrible, but annoying.

On that photo, one thing I think is ugly is that the hubcap has a seven-sided polygon pattern, but the tire has a nine-sided pattern. IMO if one is going to have a pattern on the tire, it should be the same as (and aligned with) that of the hubcap.

Light gray is almost as good in that regard, and won't show every bit of dirt as much as white would.

Don't know if he read it, but I send Elon a tweet some time ago recommending a silicone wiper blade - Silblade in particular - since I had a pair that in (admittedly mild Maryland weather, but occasional snow or frost) lasted over 10 years still performing well on a PT Cruiser. No point in...

Maybe that’s part of what they’re testing, open vs closed range.

Yeah. My right leg has maybe chronic tendonitis, and is variably not fun moving around. So I realize that getting into something really low or really high might be an avoidable discomfort if the vehicle height is adjustable. And I'm sort of ok, lots of folks are far more limited. But weird...

Given variable suspension height for the CT, be nice to have a height for entry part of the profile too. Some might find it easier to enter lower (or higher). Thinking now though, rather than a separate preferred driving height, once driving, that should probably just revert to the last set...

No, not always, but that's the most compatible 20A socket (works with two different kinds of plugs); I'd like to think that would be something Tesla would take into account. I guess we wait for a picture of the actual Cybertruck outlets to speculate further. :)

US 20A outlets have the large slot shaped like a sideways "T". That lets a 15A or smaller plug fit, but also a 20A plug (where the large end is perpendicular rather than parallel to the small end). So that's only a 15A outlet, max.

I think that heat makes black bad; even if a Tesla can keep itself at a reasonable temperature while parked, that eats battery, unless it's on a charger. Very light colors, even if well clean-able, will need frequent cleaning to look clean. And they might be visually distracting, simply by...

Probably don't need it, Cybertruck is supposed to have Hardware 4 (computer), which can show a 360º bird's eye view composited from its cameras. But there such things as bumper guides (a pair of shiny poles, with option lighted tip), including some that are no-drill, if you can find a place to...
