    Cybertruck hauling hay bales

    100-145 lbs, depending on water content. Average is around 125 lbs for a 3-string bale of alfalpha. Perhaps you're thinking of straw?

    Cyberbeast and Cybertrucks climb Hells Revenge, Moab (on factory A/T tires)

    Probably would be even easier if the truck wasn't at max height so that there was a bit of wheel drop available, and then air down. Nobody that knows what they're doing goes rock crawling at full freeway pressure. But then these guys were trying to tune the truck's software, so they may have...

    Don't worry about lower ranges your first few charging cycles! Estimated range will increase

    This is why, IMO, it only makes sense to dispense with the range number and only show the battery percentage. No matter which range number you choose to display, it will be wrong.

    Don't worry about lower ranges your first few charging cycles! Estimated range will increase

    The range is available on the screen based upon the last 5, 15 (I think) or 30 miles, your choice. The battery icon range is always rated range. Go into the detailed battery usage data and charts if you want other estimates. Tesla isn't hiding this information, just presenting the driver with...

    The interesting motor whine in the Cybertruck Cyberbeast

    Yep, I'm anxiously awaiting Munro's Cybertruck teardown. So far I haven't heard when they might get one though.

    The interesting motor whine in the Cybertruck Cyberbeast

    With Teslas, the motors and reduction gearing are bolted together as a single unit, so determining which is producing the sound from within the cabin isn't really possible.

    The interesting motor whine in the Cybertruck Cyberbeast

    I think most serious race cars use straight-cut gears. This video demonstrates the sound of straight-cut gears really well: Straight Cut Gears (youtube.com)

    The interesting motor whine in the Cybertruck Cyberbeast

    Could it be gear whine from the reduction gears? Maybe they're straight-cut gears vs. traditional helical-cut. Straight cut is more efficient, cheaper and lighter to build and house, and typically stonger, but noisier. The only down side to straight cut is the noise. Cheaper, lighter and more...

    No Cabin Overheat Protection?

    I love that the power icon in the app is a hexagon though, as are the features of the dog mode paw print. :)

    Installed 3D Changer Program. Any requests for renderings?

    How about a mirror finish? Hopefully no one does this, but it would be neat to see. 😎

    Update: Aero Wheel Cover Recall reason = making contact with tire sidewall, wearing down rubber

    The wheels seem pretty flat-surfaced anyway, so I doubt there's a whole lot of gain in efficiency when using the covers.

    Update: Aero Wheel Cover Recall reason = making contact with tire sidewall, wearing down rubber

    Nightmare? Seriously? In what reality does waiting a few weeks for replacement wheel covers constitute a nightmare?

    Regeneration milage on hilly vs flat roads?

    My initial guess would be 40%. We frequent an 8-mile long steep hill. It takes 5% to ascend and we regen 2% on the way down.
