Many Stainless steel tankers have a mirror finish. There are hundreds if thousands on the road driving millions of miles each day. Seems like a few thousand Cybertrucks won’t be much of an issue. There was a technique mentioned in another thread that changes the surface of the stainless steel...
I'll bet if that 10% had their salaries from the last 6 years, taken back, they would have quit on their own. Which is exactly what Elon will do.
If I had my last 6 years of compensation taken back, after meeting every goal in my contract, not only would I leave, but I would take every resource...
I am wondering if they could fit a double stack of 4680 cells in there, if they went to a different bottom lid that is 4 inches deeper. IT seems like the cells would fit int he structural pack that bolts to the truck, just fine. But the bottom lid/skid plate is not quite deep enough. Personally...
I can definitely see them bumping the Cybertruck reservation discount for Model Y purchases. Maybe something like, any color, and interior, lifetime premium connectivity.
Hopefully the next gen Y will be a departure from the # platform. Tesla really needs a mid priced 6 seat SUV. Currently the...
I don't know who's fault it was, but this may prove a cautionary tale. Most people don't carry 100/300, and that is not even enough coverage to replace a new cybertruck, at todays retail prices, let alone the secondary market price. I guess this truck is a good candidate for uninsured/under insured.
I think odds are better than average, that non foundation trucks will be delivered this year. Probably as production run rate exceeds 50K per year. If they allow you to configure, do it, and then if they say you can't have a second foundation, ask them if they can leave the order active for a...
I agree its a cash grab, by Tesla. But Tesla's primary goals are volume. Tesla knows there is a lot more cash in this thing, by ramping it as quickly as possible. They wont hold back production for margins. As supply chain and production processes are capable of higher volumes, they will produce...
Tesla has shown us how this works with other models. The best example is Model Y in 2021 and 2022. You could order performance and get it in 6 weeks, and you could order AWD and get it in 6 to 7 months.
I think FS will continue to be offered even when non FS trucks are offered. But FS...
I am guessing any consumer that Tesla sues, will probably blacklist themselves. I do not disagree with Tesla wanting to limit resellers, since it makes waiting customers so mad, and Tesla is in a lose lose situation here. But many people really hate this policy, and if they get taken to the...
I saw an article this morning that Toyota engineers are excited to get their hands on Cybertruck. Perhaps they, and other manufacturers are buying these. We know Tesla is not selling to them. Sandy said he would pay double. Though, if he bought one, we would probably know already. Hopefully he...
I hope so, I’m all in TSLA. So I figure if an R1S is tempting me, it’s got to be very tempting to others.
X is awesome, but it’s about $4,000 to expensive in the 7 seat configuration. I dive a Y P and love it. But it’s just too small in the 7 seat configuration. I tried to make that work, but I...
I'll bet when AWD is selling for $59K, a lot of people will regret not finding a way to recapture that $40K, when the opportunity was ripe.
That $59K AWD will be a better truck than todays truck, as well.
Its important to think about a purchase like this in one of 2 ways. Its a member of the...
I would strongly suggest against male to male, with this much power on tap. It could be really dangerous.
instead, do something like this. Ideally with a transfer switch, but if you want to accept liability, and can trust yourself to throw the main breaker, that can be an option in a pinch as...
