It was my opinion from the original announcement that Cybertrucks should be highly modular but only one trim (a midish/high spec) and no factory options. Lower prices through simplicity and scale or loss-leading to take market share from the legacy manufacturers. Also they could make money...

Imagine bringing big white boots to burning man only to change into them for photos. 🙄

Maybe if you're selling to a cash buyer. But you simply cant bundle that much non-house into a mortgage, unless you are selling the house way under appraised value. Even minor bits of personal property often have to be done with a different contract. You can't get a traditional mortgage on a...

Sure, but we already waited 5+ years, whats a few more at that point? The entire design of the cybertruck was due to the exoskeleton concept. I loved the design because of that. It could have been uglier and I would still love it. Without the exoskeleton defining the shape, its just a odd/poor...

When I get a Tesla, regardless of model, I'll be adding a "I got this before Elon went crazy" sticker. Because I believe he has not yet gone crazy. ?

I don't think I'd ever need or provide this service, but then again I've never run out of gas in 20 years of driving either. As the general public transitions to electric this will be a good business, because there will always be a few people running out for one reason or another, and you cant...

Yeah, but I would be concerned about range loss from air drag on the bent edge. You could probably just remove the whole thing until an aftermarket one is available.

You can see on the red dotted line that the panel has been stamped and notched to go around something, weakening/widening the exact area that failed. Also, there are channels that would run water directly into that gap. This is absolutely a design flaw.

Pretty good but I can't unsee the pattern tiling

If they "flop" and stop making them, then the collector value is going to be amazing in 20 years

I think its slick, at the cost of the cybertruck this is a small/medium upgrade.

I think you'll have to define "without justification". I'm just a normal person (your target market to grow tesla, btw) with a balanced perspective, its why I stand out here. The ICE cultists don't like me either. Also, I'm a designer. I like the design of the truck. I pre-ordered during the...

Nothing annoys adults more than a kid being correct.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't know that the CT is really a superior solution. Because what you gain in pedestrian damage protection, you lose in higher costs for minor collision damage. an f150 will have a far cheaper bill for swapping a door or body panel. You can swap the whole...

Dang, I didn't know door dings kept ICE trucks from working

Fixed that for you, since ICE/EV argument is irrelevant. (y)

If the specs were reversed you wouldn't be making the same argument.

I did, maybe you can show me what you're looking at. - Tesla 2019 cybertruck event shows trimotor at 14,000lbs - Telsa.com 2024 says 11,000lbs on the $99k Cyberbeast - Ford 23-24 f150 with max tow package is 14,000lbs

So the straw-man argument about 3500HD dually was intentional. Ok. But that still doesn't explain why the cybertruck is lower duty than current year Silverado 1500/f150/Sierra/RAM 1500. Or why the cyberbeast tows 20% less than an f150 (which was specifically promised). I didn't expect it to...

3/4 ton is a 2500, and the RWD cybertruck tows less than a jeep gladiator
