The only thing we know for sure is the line was designed with a capacity of 125K trucks per year. That means very little. Until there is some sustained rate of production and parts supply and several increases in rate, all bets are off. And even then there will be fits and starts for at least a...
Wow, $15K off would mean a dual motor for $65K in MA! That is $35K less than the Cyberbeast would be, impressive. If you bought one of each it would even out right?!
I would say two things: 1. The situation will be different when deliveries start. 2. I agree Tesla could very well make...
1/ - Cybertruck at Boston Store 11/26/2023. It was so bitchin to see. To me it is about the size I imagined. The rear end looks actually good in person, despite not liking it in pictures.
The tonneau cover is closed, so the lighting in the bed is only from the bed light and the red light on the ground is from the light on the tailgate.
Sorry I am unable to delete the duplicate image. There are only 3 unique pictures.
Until we have a major increase in battery Kwh/lb, any electric truck will never be a "work truck, just like my current Silverado". Put a blade on the front to plow snow or pull any kind of trailer, and the battery is going to conk out very fast. The Cybertruck battery will have roughly 10% of...
If you spot weld steel its got to be coated with something or it will rust. Call it what we will that "coating" process for the body in white will have a cost. I agree one that is much less than a finish paint job. I do not think wrapping the exposed metal is enough, #1 water would be trapped by...
Ok fine. So the cost of a protective paint process for only the body in white is much lower, less calibration required, excetera. I get that. But I'm referencing Jeff Lutz's (our trusty supply expert) comment that CT is going to be much cheaper to produce because "there will be no paint shop, no...
The ends may be all aluminum castings that do not require paint. But as we can clearly see from the recent pictures, there is clearly a body in white. I for one never could imagine an exoskeleton. Anyway, a body in white consists of various metals, aluminum and steel reinforcements bonded...
Hmm, would 1 year be enough? Then early reservation holders could drive their truck for a while and still get a pretty price a year later and they would not be attacked on this forum for re-selling it, right?!
Tough crowd here. How about Tesla adds this fine print, "If you demonize early...
