Cory Steuben (Monroe Assoc) had some very interesting takes in the excellent Farzad Mesbahi Semi Delivery live event re the Ver 4 Charger and other relevant aspects of this important "new" CT information. It starts at 2:48.20 of the over 3 hour event coverage.
Saw this interview on Rob Maurer's Tesla Daily Youtube channel after booking a visit to the Petersen Exhibit in early Janurary. The 1 day trip is a xmas present to myself and will be my first look at the Cybertruck in person. I liked Franz's take on the revolutionary nature of the form follows...
I have 2 Tesla's and several years and many miles of driving experience in the Teslas. Much of what you read from conventional media exploits FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt). Constand recall notices and crash/fire reports are often aimed at making anything Tesla seem dangerous/risky.

My comments are related to the general release of FSD essentially ending the Beta program. They even removed the incident report button on the most current software release.
My wife is anxious to get FSD on her Model 3 but her expectation is that the car will indeed be Full Self Driving and...
If Tesla is embroiled in controversy and lawsuits due to a premature release of Full Self Driving (FSD) to everyone, it could be very bad for Tesla and, obviously the CyberTruck.
Apparently, you don't own a Tesla but believe me, FSD is not there yet and should NOT be released to all people...
The Exoskeleton will need to be Stainless Steel Origami to qualify as such. Our faith that they can accomplish that doesn't make it so. Tesla is know to stretch with their descriptions and FSD is another good example. FSD is NOT ready for primetime and should continue in BETA test until more...
With only $100 CT reservation fee just wait it out and see. With that reservation number you'd be lucky to get it in 2024. As for Elon's comments, they are never promises and should not be interpreted as such.
I'm sorry but I'm an American and we reserve the right to have it our way. For me, it'll always be (as it should) the National Transportation Safety Administration. So much cleaner and to the point (although NUTSA has a certain ring of truth to it).
Happy Thanksgiving everyone ... :)
From consumer reports "To be certified for sale, every new model sold in the U.S. must be crash-tested internally to ensure minimum federal safety standards are met. But a publicly available rating isn’t required."
So internal testing to meet federal safety standards is a requirement but the...
Most of the serious questions have already been answered by the Model Y build and the current CT prototypes. Since the new Giga Press is key to the mass production of the CyberTruck, any version without that key component will NOT be equivalent. IMHO
Err well maybe ... but unless you're an Tesla insider, I have to question that emphatic no. How do you think they are going to cobble together a LARGE single piece casting for the CyberTruck out of pieces that would in any way represent an equivalent bottom casting holding the battery and joined...
Without the giga press up and running producing the giga castings, I see no point in this exercise. Do they need more prototypes? With actual production slated to start in less than a year? I think not.
Also, crash tests without the giga casting would be invalid.
Technically, all Teslas have FSD installed, just not activated. Since FSD activation is OTA, a temporary license could be issued then terminated upon delivery.
I think the key man problem is overstated with Tesla. Hopefully there is a Tim Apple (;)) type with a bit more charisma in the wings. In the meantime, Mr Musk's wild ride will continue unabated with many cheering him on.
I'm guessing many of his stockholder supporters are uncomfortable with the...
You're Canadian ... buzz off.
But seriously the stuff that seems like a revelation to you has been going on for many years in many guises. You see, govt itself isn't the villain, people are and we are all imperfect beings and damn proud of it (some more than others).
Apparently my Threads rhetorical question has struck a nerve. This is a public square discussion on a very small scale but interesting none the less. I have read some well reasoned responses and it is good to hear other opinions.
This world is very different than the 1950's-60's of my youth...
