  1. Just Ordered My Foundation Series Allocation! Post Your Invitations / Order Confirmations! 🙌

    I've never owned a Tesla and haven't followed any of the other launches this closely. I suppose that makes sense. Especially with all of the new engineering in this one.
  2. Convincing the wife

    Don't have a wife yet but.... Doubles as a backup system to power your home for a while. Equivalent battery capacity would be $20-$40,000. Bulletproof to protect the kids If she is into cars, you can put it into launch mode and drop the suspension on a test drive. Electricity for now is cheaper...
  3. Just Ordered My Foundation Series Allocation! Post Your Invitations / Order Confirmations! 🙌

    That's wierd. I'm pretty sure they did a SELECT WHERE location='CA' OR location='TX' ORDER BY reservation_number. Edit: after reading several other posts. It seems not just state but a geospatial radius from their two factories. I'm guessing this is due to profit margins. Closer = cheaper to...
  4. Cybertruck Federal Tax Credit Incentives are official!

    This is the real source https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml For 2024, I do not see the cyberbeast listed here.
  5. Was looking forward to 14,500 tow rating

    Is 11,000 lbs really the limit? In their promotion video, it seemed like they sure were towing a multiple factor of that at the launch event. Yes, I understand that there is a difference between towing something for miles for years vs a few hundred of feet once. But wouldn't you think it would...
  6. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    I'm not underestimating at all, just questioning the need(if there is a need) to have to go to a charging station and a gas station every trip I take while towing. Side note, apparently the RamRev will also have a higher towing capacity...
  7. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    So then is the battery capable of maxing out those motors? If so then why is Stellantis is promoting as if the mechanical generator is contributing power to the motors beyond the capabilities of the batteries? That's the part I don't understand. If you are towing something that is say 13000 lbs...
  8. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    The following line on their websites seems to imply something different. It seems like the generator can directly add power to the electric motors vs just power from the batteries so if you extrapolate that then the range and maximum towing and horsepower are only obtainable when the generator...
  9. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    As far as range goes, it's pretty impressive and probably beats most gas trucks too. The problem is this: The generator can also increase the power to the motor and gearbox when serious power is needed. If I'm towing something closer to the limits, won't it mean that the generator will likely...

    Think it can handle this? https://www.granddesignrv.com/toy-haulers/momentum-mav/27mav GVWR 10,995
  11. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    Another example is the Silverado EV Work Truck, their higher tier model tows less.
  12. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    There is a difference between a emergency generator and a generator required for towing. Not sure if you're being sarcastic but.....
  13. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    So 2.4kw outlets, that should be enough to power a recreational vehicle through the 220v, right? What about amperage limits on the outlets?
  14. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    Hybrid seems to be besides the point, will towing require the generator? So now you have to go to both stations to "recharge" and "refuel"? This doesn't seem practical or worth the effort. You're also converting chemical to mechanical to electrical energy right? The range is impressive but this...
  15. 2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

    That tow rating is disappointing....it matches the Rivian R1T dual motor and is less than the Silverado work truck.
  16. Hundreds of Cybertruck castings spotted at Giga Texas! 🤩

    This is exciting to see, it seems like the bottleneck here isn't the casting then. If the current ones we see are built by hand, it'll be interesting to see the production quality candidates that are built by machines.
  17. Closeups!! Dual Motor Cybertruck shows frunk open, alcantara headliner, perforated seats, rectangular steering wheel, VIN # (8/31 pics)

    What a mess! Hope production isn't this messy. What the heck is a portable generator doing in the frunk? This definitely looks like an abused early model. What happened to the doors?
  18. Spotted: First video of Cybertruck towing trailer!

    If this is accurate then this is great news assuming it's towing a full payload.
