Police 911 center received emergency alert from an Apple iPhone from inside the Cybertruck. Probably NO explosion Fire quickly put out. Time needed was similar to putting out fire in ICE vehicle. Fire probably not from main battery pack Police believe excessive speed was at least one factor in...

Ignoring the loss of bullet-resistant aspects: Outer body of "standard painted sheet metal" means need a larger ( or another) expensive paint shop ( 100s millions) with expensive air and water pollution treatment system. Outer body of "standard painted sheet metal" means new door design with...

Just because a component is structural does not mean a component can not be modified or replaced with a different structural component designed differently and made of different materials. What is important is the the replacement part meet certain structural criterias (plural). Most buildings...

So they (Lexus ) knew of vulnerability and designed & manufactured pieces. For Lexus the pieces to block common openings is an OPTION !!!! ( NOT standard ) crap crap crap. Why you should not trust Similar to Boeing, safety is an extra cost option.

Elon's tommy machine gun proof zombie apocalypse Cybertruck can be defeated by mini mouse :mad:

I am not sure what brand and model the 1911 car in the original post is but there were fleets of electric taxis in some major cities over a decade before 1911 ( 1897 ). In some places they even had a battery swap depot. ----------------------------------- Electric cars have been around since...

------------------------------ When were electric cars most popular? Answer: 1900 — 1912 In the U.S., electric vehicles accounted for around 30% of all vehicles on the road. Timeline: History of the Electric Car | Department of Energy https://www.energy.gov/timeline-history-electric-car...

------------ If a house cat can get into spaces under Cybertruck then squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, rabbits, marmots, martens, groundhogs, and others rodents will easily fit. It is possible the reason the cat went into the area is because it smelled the scent of rodents that had also...

AHHHH. NO This WAS very PREDICTABLE. Small & medium size animals climbing into the under spaces of consumer vehicles has probably been happening for over a 100 years. Luckily for original poster it was only the poster's own cat and no permanent damage caused. Animals can cause several...

Tesla hasn't yet enabled a "carve mode" for the BAW.

Narrow road should of not have been the issue. Similar to multi-lanes in same direction with traffic in other lanes so can not change lanes. The primary problem is that the Cybertruck FSD did NOT STOP even though it should of had plenty of time to recognize that it did not have enough room to...

Oh No. I was worried about this kind of thing. I was hoping Cybertruck would be more resistant to animals finding places to hide. If a house cat can get into spaces under Cybertruck then squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, rabbits, marmots, martens, groundhogs, foxes, and others rodents will easily...

That Ford sure has an ugly front. Way over done. Like many of bad aspects of 1950s designs.

Well YEAH! About 30% of door is glass. Even though Elon calls it Tesla Armor glass it is not really bullet resistant at all. When Elon uses word "armor" you can NOT assume anything. Not even real resistance to cracking from round metal balls. Only the Tesla HFS (Stainless) metal part of the...

The bullets, grocery carts, hammers, arrows were to the metal part of the door so we pretty much expected since 2019 that those parts would be tough. Yup, the super huge and expensive windshield and the roof glass are the biggest concerns regarding hail. I don't want the insurance company...

I perfectly understand that at 60 even if $40K was peanuts you might not be interested. I am curious about you thoughts on my question. Please other forum reader also chime in. If you were 25-50 years old with spouse and 1-3 children, at your today's perceived risk level for where you live...

Yes, it is possible that for a while a Chinese supplier is only choice and Tesla might have to pay 60% tariff on some components & material needed for the battery. But Tesla probably has been working for quite a while on getting all components & material needed for the battery from duty-free...

If there were shots in your direction, ducking might not work. 1-5 bullets could easily pass through before you could react and get down far enough. Also if the shooter (and most car jackers) was close to your vehicle, ducking down would not even hide you. There are people who have same risk as...

The manual removal itself is NOT the main problem. The main problem are the reckless drivers who are also out there. They have a habit of running into the back of stopped vehicles even those on the side of the road ( shoulder / breakdown lane / emergency stopping lane ). The fewer times I have...

Someone else suggested using a hydrophobic coating like Rain-X or TopCoat F 11 applied to the headlights. I don't think a hydrophobic coating is going to help much when there is a entire bumper shelf opening in front of the headlight (headlight NOT light bar) for the ice and snow to build up...
