    LOL. I felt like I was stepping into the future though when I drove it.

    Cybertruck and DeLorean at a car show: my impressions

    Hi there. I brought my DeLorean to a car show as I usually do on weekends. But today, a Foundation Series Tri Motor Beast came as well. This was my first time seeing one in the wild. The owner was very nice. He showed me around the vehicle, walked me through the screens, and even let me drive...

    Cybertruck rear ended by Ram truck. Stainless steel TKO 🥊

    Oh man. It’s unfortunate that the CT got rear-ended after only 450 miles. I’d be pissed. However, what a show of strength for the Cybertruck. The tailgate is not even misaligned! It looks like the bumper took most of the brunt of the impact. The mark of the outline of the ram grill with logo on...

    Another Cybertruck has been shot up

    That’s a good question. Considering only velocities: here they are from the Tesla test: Glock 9mm, 115 grain 1100 f/ps MP5-SD 9mm 115 grain 950 f/ps 12 ga M4 shotgun 00 buckshot f/ps not listed Tommy gun .45 ACP 935 f/ps A 55 grain 5.56 NATO AR-15 round shows a velocity of 2837 f/ps...

    Another Cybertruck has been shot up

    Well, that took longer than I thought it would. Is this the first non-Tesla employee test?

    Cybertruck AWD Delivered 02/09/23 Carlsbad

    Congrats on the delivery. Looks great. Also happy that at least some delivery centers have the ability to properly remediate scratches, as one would expect. I understand not all centers currently can. Hopefully the other centers across the country will learn how to do this as well. This...

    Am I a celebrity?!?!? Regular guy, new Cybertruck owner.

    Thanks for the review. I tend to characterize The CT as the DeLorean of our generation: - looks futuristic - stainless steel - wedge “ folded paper” design - every outing in it seems like you are attending a one car car show Get used to the attention.

    Cybertruck is almost sold out for 2024. Reservation conversion rate very encouraging (per Q4 2023 earnings call)

    Great discussion on production versus reservation estimates. To add to the information on tranches of reservations, I have an email from Tesla that referred to my January 9, 2020 RN1132xxx number as an “Early Cybertruck reservation”. Based on this discussion, it’s anyone’s guess if that...

    How do you jumpstart an ICE vehicle from a Tesla?

    Cybertruck Horn

    From where the camera was when she hit the button, I think it sounds like my louder Fiamm “ freeway blaster” horns that I use in my cars. I don’t see a problem. If the horns are 48 volts, you may have limited options to replace them for a while.

    Rumor: There will be no single motor Cybertruck! RWD model will be dual motor.

    My post was from February 2020 when details were very scarce. Of course, it doesn't make sense now that the specs are released. Here is my full 3-year-old post with added context.

    Cybertruck delivery event a flop? (Rolling stone with the knives out!)

    I wouldn't lump all manufacturers into "building and delivering" EVs. Since I own 2 Chevrolets, I have a backup reservation on the Chevy Silverado EV, and was dismayed (but not shocked) by this headline just yesterday: General Motors Pulls Funding from Foundering Electric Vehicle Efforts in $10...

    10 Cybertrucks will be delivered at the Delivery Event on Nov 30, says Tesla product design director, Javier Verdura

    I agree. The number would likely be a token amount in the ceremony just to kick off the start of deliveries. For anyone who knows, is that the approach for other new models?
