I put out my 'want' to provoke someone with connections to pick up on this and realise that with CT's slab sides it would not be too difficult to work out how to 'laser paint' each panel! Think 'dismantle the laser printer' and mount it on a robot arm, not dismantle every body panel??? 'Laser...

Excellent summary of why this thread is important but not something to worry about. There are odd/ unusual instances that can create stains but these are usually the rusting of the 'dust' particles corroding, not the underlying SS surface. If left to fester for a long (weeks) time, it may cause...

OK, guilty as charged ; ) but I'll leave the feeding of bears to North Americans, in Thailand its mosquito's that feast on me and in the UK, I can't think of anything, except maybe bankers! Still waiting for that nugget of genius from CTOC members that might get Tesla to actually look at the...

How come both of my two threads end up being dominated by discussions about BEARS??? What percentage of even CTOC is ever likely to have to deal with a bear, let alone the rest of the world! Give me a break guys...

I have tried to develop my own concept of a CT Camper, (my other thread details my endeavors!) but my second iteration does not rely upon anything other than the CT bed and approximate exterior shape. See the attached render... It all packs into the CT bed so that the tonneau cover can still...

Thinking about dreaming again, I am looking forward to being able to take road trips through Europe in my CT with my son/ daughter/ better half and having some sort of camping option available to complement staying in some of the hotels/ accommodation that are incredible (but that I could not...

I think that I agree with you regarding tyres, or at least the rubber outer section. Where I thought that there could be improvements was the wheel, hub and maybe even out to the (drive) shaft. I'll make my point again regarding the sides of air-less tyre/wheels being only on show for...

There have been several comments regarding stones, water and debris getting into air-less wheels but there is no reason why the side-wall needs to be open. For the tyre manufacturers, it is probably just for differentiating their product visually. Assume that we can close up the sides and keep...

Now I understand... You mean a steel tyre!!! I was sort of alluding to that when I was suggesting that speed related functionality could be developed. Use the centripetal forces of the rotating wheel to bow out the central section of the tyre for example? Tesla (+ SpaceX) has the engineering...

By the way, I chose my picture of the wheel/tyre because it looked pretty, not because it was technically suitable for a CT!

I'm not sure that I follow your argument... Are you saying that a steel wheel is more able to retain its shape and is therefore better for rolling resistance?

To cut-to-the-chase, my opinion is that Tesla should absolutely consider a 'First Principles' evaluation of the hub, wheel and tyre for CyberTruck. We have not really changed car wheels, other than the transition to alloy for the wheel structure verses steel, for about 100 years. For almost...

My comment seems to have stirred up a hornets nest and I can see from your responses that you have a much deeper understanding of the macro economics of manufacturing plant works than I ever will. I apologize for any and all discomfort I have caused you by my post. I do genuinely believe that...

Go to grabcad.com which is where I obtained my model (Grabcad: tesla-cybertruck-1.snapshot.4) from and used for a couple of designs in https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/teslabots-on-vacation.4401/

I have designed exactly what you have described but it seems that CTOC forums have grown so large that there are now too many places to post content. I had tried humor to differentiate my submissions but, my thread in Camping & Overlanding / Teslabots on Vacation...

My abiding thoughts when I first saw the Cybertruck was that its exo-skeleton design was absolute genius - frame and body in one simple piece, no paint - and would decimate the costs associated with manufacturing a 'Full-size Truck'! - If I recall correctly, Sandy Munro's conclusions stated the...

Caption competition: My entry: "Do you reckon they're friendly?" My daughters entry: Bot1, "What breed of dog are they?" Bot2, "I don't know, but I think the one on the right is a Giraffe!" New location, new camper design. I seemed to get the impression that keeping off the ground is...

Hi Ogre, I did mention a secondary usage mode that I am looking to offer which uses the hard-standing in an upright position on the outer edge of the tailgate with the third pole-set only extended out enough to reach the middle of the rear window panel. The surplus canvas would be folded back...

Hi Ogre, It sounds like you would lean toward a PolyDrops trailer or similar which is a product that I also really like but the $15K basic and $27K Electric versions are quite steep! I have tried to keep off the ground slightly by having half the tent in the CT and the other half on its...

Hi Ogre, From reading most of your camping related posts, I feel that we are both in a similar point of view regarding keeping a CT Camper simple. I really like the look of your referenced tent and did contemplate making my tent using 'fire-hose' structural elements. In critically examining this...
