yea, all those changes cost a lot intiallly due to investment and R&D, but should lead to less cost over time per unit. Here’s hoping that’ll translate into lower prices once they collect a bunch of cash. Even if they made the price $10k more than they “need to” (if not 20k), for 250k trucks...
As a day 1 reservation holder, I am super sad but I had hoped the innovations in design would lead to simplification and thus cost reduction, enabling no more than a 10-15% increase in cost from the Original $49K Dual and the $69K Tri, but with the AWD now being 60% more, at 79K (and still a...
So now I think there are 4 different ride height presets. If we consider the three in the first post as low, medium, really high, then using this photo below, there’s also a high option.
I feel pretty confident that the ride height below photo is different than the highest setting seen in the...
I had forgotten about those. The one thing it makes me think of is that I recall Sandy Munro showing a version with what looks like a larger front air shock.
Here’s the photo. Also has really aggressive tires.
So I’ve been staring at older photos of the cybertruck, and the newer one to try and understand why the older one looked so much more aggressive than the newer one, which looks like a sedan. As shown in the images below, it seems like one of the major differences is just ride height.
The images...
No, the first photo is from the cyber rodeo with the first update to the truck. We don’t know its size (as far as I know) but we do know it was a 35” on 20” rims and appeared to have all weather tires.
All I'm saying is the AT tires from the Investor Day look larger in the wheel well. Could be...
It should drive right over something even 16” high. If those are 35” wheels, and the bottom of the truck is well above the midpoint of the wheel, then that’s close to 20”.
Yes, while we haven’t seen the upper light bar (on), I’m hopeful that the wide area up there can accommodate one and so they’ll have little reason to not include. Especially when I recall Elon talking about it at some point.
Further, one thing that is worth remembering is that the UI leak...
Hi all. Been a long time reader of this blog, never posted. But here goes.
Some things I noted from the recent video of the beta version are that you can see 2 breaks in the top surface of the side pilars as the truck turns. Look like attach points similar to those on the original prototype...
