I RSVP'd already... I'm hoping they'll have a Teslabot prototype like the showroom in NY. A Cybertruck for test drives would ne nice, too!

Back to the original post: Does this photo negate the idea of Tesla using the "unboxed process" in manufacturing the Cybertruck? Is it possible that the front and rear could be mostly assembled before joining them together as shown in the photo? Certainly, the doors are subassemblies that...

While I'm certain that structural adhesives will be involved, I expect Tesla to weld studs to the SS, just like SpaceX does for mounting thermal tiles on Starship. Then the panels get bolted onto the stamping and castings. Even so, the structural adhesives will do most of the work.

From Joe Tegtmeyer today: Castings

Then again, the other trunk does have a different profile... more of a lip. Hmm....

Umm... maybe not. Could be just the trunk of a vehicle behind the Cybertruck. Take a look at this video by Johnny Pena: Beautiful truck.

I took these on the 25th but forgot to add them here. Looks like Original Joe's is expecting business to increase. The paving is complete now. I'll take some more pictures this weekend.

From the patent application: While not illustrated, it may be appreciated that the vehicle 600 may include an interior glass structure. For example, the vehicle 600 may include a glass dash positioned in the front of the vehicle 600 which is formed as described herein. In this example, the...

From what I can tell, the rear roof glass is flat, with a curved front edge so the windshield and hood are slightly convex. This may relate to the patent Tesla released with tight radius bends in glass, as well as glass welding. Of note, the patent also mentions that the entire dashboard could...

On the topic of economies of scale, if all of the variants have 4 wheel steering, the overall unit costs go down and the manufacturing is simpler. In the same way, I think the Plaid motor (carbon-wrapped-rotor) could become standard across all models.

From Drive Tesla Canada: Second Tesla Supercharger under construction in Nanaimo [British Columbia] Wow! I'm definitely not the guy you want on your team playing "I Spy" (that is a team sport, right?)... I literally drove past this last night and didn't realize what it was until I saw this post...

I know that this is an old thread, but with the recent progress on the 9T Gigapress I am seriously beginning to imagine that there is a small possibility for me to fly down to Austin and drive back to Canada in my Cybertruck before the end of this year. I shouldn't get my hopes up, though, and...

The aerodynamics of the Aptera are specifically designed for reducing drag while in ground effect. It has very little in common with aircraft body designs. The shape doesn't create any lift - it actually provides some downforce to keep it on the road. Chris Anthony says it bears more resemblance...

Wow! My "Corrected Position" is 190,349... but I'm in Canada so not expecting mine until mid 2024.

Sandy Munro seems to think they'll be successful. He's been invested in the company from early on and has helped them design for manufacture from the start of the reboot. Aptera is Creating a New Industry The investment works as a SAFE (Simple agreement for future equity) by agreeing to give...

According to the fine print on Republic, your $210 will get you 20 shares - so that's $10.50 each. Same as if you go to Aptera directly, but a lower minimum. I want Aptera to succeed, so I bought some shares on Republic to add to the traffic and hopefully increase the "trending" status. It's...

BTW, the 3D model I used for the overlay is an older one - with dimensions from the reveal, and even door handles - so that contributes to mismatching as well. But, hey, I gotta thank the anonymous photographer who sent Kim the pic, and SolarWizard for posting it here - 11 pages of discussion...

Why are you so certain it's Giga Texas? It looks like an older facility to me, what with the tape worn off the seam in the concrete floor and other signs of wear and tear. Also, as I learned from Joe Tegtmeyer, there should be location labels on the pillars, so we'd know exactly where in the...

1) The "fog" is motion blur of the worker's head. Not the worker on the left, with white pants - the one on the right with blue pants. 2) The "platform" is a piece of sheet metal on a table closer to the camera than the scaffold. Nothing to see here.

I agree - I was going to try and get the camera match to fit better, but there's a lot of guessing about parallel lines in the photo. You really need two clean parallel lines in each of the X and Y axes. With a few more photos from different angles... well that's a different story! As for your...
