Not a chance the quad motor is under $80k base price. ??‍♂️???

There has to be more to it. Elon has said that the angular aspects of the truck are actually not great for aerodynamics and nothing else has changed. He has also said that it’s really hard to make a windshield with that angle so I’m wondering if it doesn’t have to do with strength? Who knows...

Although you are correct about the bed length of other more traditional trucks, the whole sales pitch at the reveal was that more would be offered within the same foot print. I was really hopeful that the 6.5 foot bed would make it through to production. Doesn’t look like it. ??‍♂️

Right, I guess it isn't the most straightforward thing to implement? I honestly don't know a ton about it but did know it exists already. I really, REALLY hope that the CT has the capability to do V2G, if not V2G, then hopefully as a backup for the house with some sort of disconnect to limit...

Touche'. But it's a start. :)

The Nissan leaf already does V2G.

To be honest... not really. I've had fords and I don't really like where the legacy automakers are going or their current sales structure, etc... Part of the excitement for me as far as the cybertruck goes is the fact that it is Tesla which breaks the mold. If I wasn't buying a cybertruck, I'd...

And there we go! I was reading through waiting for someone to mention V2G!!! The tri-motor could represent more than 10 powerwalls, depending of course on batter size... Just insane. This would blow my mind and make me incredibly happy. Of course with the assumption that increase in cycle...

Elon did mention that you probably wouldn't want to drop your keys around this thing... :ROFLMAO:

Total guess here but I imagine it would be quite difficult at least at first since the CT has an exoskeleton design, I'm guessing it would require an entire retooling of equipment or an entire different assembly/processing line? I may be wrong but I very much doubt they will do that. I think...

haha. Sorry. I actually really liked the raptor before the CT. Although I do have to say I was quite partial to the dark red color. Two of my good friends are still planning on going that route instead of the CT. I keep trying to convince them to go Tesla but they won't budge. Maybe they...

Maybe we should have a vote to make it as slow as the raptor too... Just leave it alone. 6.5 feet. I vote 6.5 feet all day long. I'm guessing this is because it doesn't fit in someone's garage?...

Nice work. I know we all pretty much knew that Austin was going to be the location but I'm so pumped that they are already starting the construction! I can't even wait until we start getting our Cybertrucks!

Elon did say it would float for awhile... LoL

Yes indeed. These folks should watch the unveiling again... Elon literally says "That's the price without any incentives, the actual economics are even better than that" Come on people, learn how to obsess about something...

There are so many unknowns, any prediction for a timetable is purely speculative. 1. We don't know what we will find out on battery day (May alleviate battery constraint) 2. Each Gigafactory they build is built faster than the previous one (Germany is currently on a faster timeline than...

I don't get the point of this post. Adding on 10-20k would completely negate the entire point of the Cybertruck. A massively capable truck, cheaper than the competition and in line with the cost of the F-150. Just like the model 3 is doing to the luxury/near luxury sedan segment, the CT has the...

My hope is that they have figured out dry-cell batteries and production. This could lead to the 1M mile battery and a path to get to 1 TWh of battery production which would be in perfect time for the production of the cybertruck, semi, and any other vehicle/storage they are producing. Who knows...

I think you have a great point to a degree. I think that you could speculate that the ramp of the cybertruck will be in between the model 3 ramp and the model y ramp. I agree that I don't think that tesla will be able to ramp the CT the same way they have with the Y but I also think that...

I don't think Elon will ever take over another facility like that again. I could be wrong but what I've read/heard of turning the Fremont factory into an EV production plant was nothing short of a nightmare. The only reason they went with the Fremont factory at that point was out of necessity...
