Does it come with an idiot proof tailgate disabler? It's gonna happen. Nice idea but too many downsides. Wind drag, cost, inconvenience, camera blocked, shimmy, increased length and it doesn't seem like a tight fit. Hope to see more of your thoughts after practical experience.
A message to every person who mentioned price increase. Stop it. These are read by the bean counters and stock holders. It was no surprise that we wouldn't get a tri-motor for 69,900 but it was a gut punch when it was 100k. I blame these people for encouraging this. We didn't get 500 mile range...
I ordered next morning and have no clue when to expect to see a shiny box in the garage. Days, weeks, months or years? 58 when I ordered. Probably 63 before I receive. The initial excitement has turned to numb enthusiasm.
What a tragic waste of person. Guessing you are close to forty. So, if someone who was seventy ordered the CT and is now 74, how does that sound? Adding lost parents into a post? Young fella, I'm deeply sad and disappointed that we may be driving the same vehicle. Bad news, the CT doesn't come...
I agree with your statement. I am curious though. What part is the limit? Braking, suspension or frame strength? All of which are supposedly engineered above what any other pickup can handle. Maybe the regenerative braking can't handle back feeding current levels or the rear casting isn't rigid...
Built in tailgate ramp, 14k tow rating. I understand the challenges and do not fault Tesla for the timeline or falling short of design promises. I don't understand why the demo videos show the CT outpull an F-350 (37,000lb tow rating) and tell owners it's only rated for 11k.
Good call on 2X playback. A bit long in the tooth. Spot on though. As frustrating as the 100k sticker is, I am still going through with my purchase. 4 years is long enough. I'm only working 4 more years before I sell out my share in my company and fully retire. I'd purchase the dual motor if I...
Cars aren't immune to launching the plastic saucers as evidenced by roadside pothole carnage. Why build a state of the art, stainless steel electric pickup and put plastic hubcaps on it?
The best part is no part. I've heard that somewhere. A single tire is plenty capable of supporting the weight of up to the 10,000lbs allowed by DOT regulations. Aside from the agreed upon cool effect, dual axles are useless.
There is a reason why you never see hubcaps on pickups. The exception being baby moons. Black Star hubcaps littering highway shoulders will be a cringe joke to CT owners. Our local extremely narrow one mile long bridge in Hood River, OR is already littered with mirrors and fender flairs.
The Official Tesla Cybertruck website still boasting a 3500 payload and 14000 plus towing. Will that be changed after the release party? Other changes have taken place but those numbers are still there.
Designed to be the worlds toughest truck and yet can't carry or tow as much as most as most half ton budget pickups. When I get my trimotor, I will be towing 12,000lbs(mini excavator), I will be loading the bed with 1.5 ton (1 yard) of gravel and I will be beating the crap out of it. 15 to 45%...
If the Tri-Motor option can't tow 14,000, it will not be able to compete with 3/4 ton pickups. Most construction vehicles commonly tow over 12,000 lbs. Mini excavator and trailer equal 6 ton.
The several multiple orders of two to two hundred will have a more difficult time coming up with the cash. The possible loop hole could be rental. Good news with the possibility that we may see delivery sooner. At 44,000th and Tri-Motor option ordered, I may actually have one in the garage...
In junior high school, the local bully was standing at the bus stop heckling smaller kids when he was standing close to the curb. He turned around just in time to have half his nose ripped off by a pickup mirror. I love big mirrors. Later, we became friends but always gave him crap for being...
Not as big of problem as it may appear. Sorry for the sober moment but, More concerned about the people than an inert gas. Please, donate to a trusted charity.
When carry weight surpasses tow load and motor torque it's the moving parts that require added strength. The difference between half and three quarter ton pickups is transmission, floating axle bearings, leaf springs. CT covers suspension with adjustable air ride just like semis but must have...
