Your text is clear, but your title is misleading: we are not looking at Cybertruck delivery, but at Foundation Series Cybertruck delivery.
I've not acted on my invitation as an early reservationist and will not act as a 10-year holder of TSLA shares either: I simply do not want the Foundation...
FSD is included in the Foundation series, which is all that's going to ship for at least 4-5mos.
(Indeed, invitations up to today -- Feb 15 -- are for Foundation series only, AWD or Beast).
So 100% of early owners of CTs will have FSD, but it does not mean that they really wanted it -- they may...
Thanks, let's hope it happens. (Since Hawaii will get its first CTs after most of the 48 states, there is plenty of time for a bunch of firmware updates ;-)
It's to bad they had to drop the extensible tailgate, but it did look a bit over the top -- easy to imagine, but really hard to build so...
Can anyone comment on whether the front and rear air suspension are adjustable independently?
One of my favorite features in the early images of the CT at unveiling was one showing the CT with front suspension lifted up to max, rear suspension lowered to min, tailgate down and extended, the...
I was surprised by how small the max angle was, even at the slowest speeds. For tight maneuvering in parking lots or on rough trails, at very low speeds, I was expecting up to 15deg angle.
And perhaps that is still reachable, but Tesla is taking it easy, gauging the response of drivers, since...
This is to be expected. Outside of jet pilots, F1 drivers, and heavy machinery operators, who has any experience with steering by wire? (OK, gaming might actually help here... ;-)
But people adapt to small changes like this very quickly -- "takes a little getting used to" is exactly right...
The picture of the front cabin from the driver's window looks like a ca. 1980 computer rendering -- no textute, very straight lines, very flat surfaces, everything at about the same lighting level; very odd, as the other pics look perfectly normal. I like the massive foundation for the...
I just hope that the military camo is just Musk's humorous take on the weird (usually B&W) camouflage wraps used by European manufacturers on their testing "mules" -- which are consciously designed NOT to look military. He probably thought one evening that, since it's called "camouflage" and...
We don't really see the inside, just the opening. But it should be quite deep, extending towards the front row seats well past its top edge because of the steeply raked windshield. It could be truly huge...
Good points, but it also means that stainless could build hotspots -- although a back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests it would take the kind of radiation you'd get at 20'000ft, not at normal altitudes.
The law does not allow you to tinker with the windshield -- you can tint, mirror-coat, or polka dot the side windows and the back window, but not the windshield.
Honestly, though, this is no larger proportionally than the windshield on Model X and Model X drivers report no issue. All Tesla...
Sick is exactly the word... The shooter's preferred vehicle... Anything military-looking is obscene on a civilian vehicle.
But I'd have to say it also looks fake: the lighting on the camo parts never varies, neither across the vehicle nor from shot to shot. It wouldn't be too hard to overlay...
It's very simple and clean, like Models 3 and Y (but unlike Models S and X), in sharp distinction from the crazily cluttered interiors of high-end pickups or luxury sedans. I like it, but I'll miss the stalks for turn signals, windshield wipers, etc. -- stalks are a very natural way to control...
Don't think so -- the reduction was very small and would not preclude 6 seats. But I'm happy it will also come with just two seats in front -- much more comfortable.
Kind of defeats the purpose of a vault... and definitely poor esthetics, marrying a BBQ grill to those clean sheets of steel. Probably adds quite a bit to the drag coefficient too...
The SS panels form the skin, not an exoskeleton, but Musk clearly prefers the second term, however inaccurate, presumably because it is more exciting... Musk is, after all, a devoted fan of social networks, where ordinary terms are shunned.
I seriously doubt the price increase will be linear -- blades for existing Tesla models fall well within normal sizes for all type of cars and so are mass produced, but the blade on the CT is going to be unique to the CT itself for some time to come. Still, even if it costs 5-10x as much as a...
