Brakes can self-heat themselves into a heat-faded condition if they are dragging. Common more on older vehicles where corrosion causes the caliper or piston to hang up and stay tight to the rotor. Brakes can be contaminated or wet. Brake lines can have air trapped in them. Brake lines and...

You don't worry a out YOUR kids putting door dings into adjacent cars?

Regular people who only have $40k to spend on a truck will buy a lot more Lightnings than Cybertrucks. No reason to think Ford and GM cannot build a truck as cheap or cheaper than tesla.

Ford thinks their apx 100kwh battery with 167 mile range on their E-transit van is enough for a typical trade van used in an urban area. Probably is for residential trades and business to business service in the inner ring of suburbs. Maybe too small for pure delivery service. Obviously not at...

Charging your work EV at home seems like a pretty good use case for the business. No need to install dozens of chargers at the shop. Cheaper than buying gas. No time wasting stop at the convenience store to fuel by your employees. No need to drive to the shop before the first appointment...

That generator probably doesn't have a weight distribution hitch since most of the time its pulled by a heavier duty truck (3/4 ton or 1 ton). The Tesla user manual does not mention weight distribution hitch one way or the other. It does limit tongue weight to 10% of 11,000 max towing, so 1100...

Reading some more about this, they loaded it on the trailer and brought it to the supercharger because that was going to be faster than waiting around charging it with the generator they had (and then still having to go to the supercharger).

53 for the Ford and 56 for the Tesla are the same numbers in both posts.

Not bullshit. 56 is the Tesla published number. 53 is the Ford published number (already deducts for the wheel wells). Both seem like plausible numbers. While the CT has the angled cargo area that is almost 29" high in the front (7" higher than the Ford box), people may not be aware that the...

Footprint? You want smaller or bigger? CT: 78 x 224 Lightning: 80 x 232. Yes, the CT is 10" shorter - can only imagine that matters if your garage is between those two lengths. Lightning actually has more Total cargo volume than CyberTruck. If you are talking about just the bed, be sure you...

Your post makes my point. You keep talking about software on other Tesla vehicles that is "better" but its not yet actually delivered on the CyberTruck. Its future ware.

No FSD available on CyberTruck yet. Your arguments might be good someday, but not today.

Chevy Chevette U.S. Sales = 2.8 million units over 12 years Audi Fox U.S. Sales = 100,000 units over 5 years.

Comparing amongst the leading 3 EV trucks available today, the specs are similar. None are leaps and bounds ahead. Only the Ford has a configuration that you can buy today for $43k that is 95% as capable as the $100k CyberTruck AWD 2-motor (and even exceeds it in several categories). Please...

"Higher standard / better engineering"? Debatable. Show some examples. Lots of engineering in the Ford. The Ford interior gets higher marks. The CT design certainly makes a statement, but is polarizing. Ford uses a proven design mimicking the best selling truck - hard to argue with that...

Did I mention the $50,000 in cash that came in the glove box of my F150 Lightning Pro (realized savings when I decided not to order my CyberTruck reservation). Same capabilities as CyberTruck. Half the price. Just saying.

You should look at the F150 Lightning. Exact use case it excels at. The larger cab and back seat add a lot of flexibility, convenience, and comfort for hauling a family and all their stuff.

Incorrect to compare to the "Stated" range. The EPA range numbers are for a mix of urban and lower speed highway driving. They are not intended to represent the range the vehicle will achieve with freeway driving.

Curious as to what does the manual say about recharging the 48v battery? The Out of Spec guys seemed to suggest they had to hotwire the frunk open to get to the battery...

Yep, that is included in the tweet. The more subtle point here is that the 48v battery was dead as well. Else I would assume they could have just charged the CyberTruck from the Lightning (with the right 240v adapter and mobile Tesla charger) instead of having to load it on a trailer.
