I just noticed that Tesla lists the following two bits of information on their website regarding the AWD Cybertruck: Estimated Range: 340 miles Consumption Rating: 42.9 kWh/100mi With a given battery capacity of 123 kWh, 429 Wh/mi comes to a range estimate of 286 miles. This actually seems...

Congrats! This thread, or excerpts from it, should be pinned, as I'm sure this issue will arise many times in the future. :D

Yep, I'm anxiously awaiting Munro's Cybertruck teardown. So far I haven't heard when they might get one though.

With Teslas, the motors and reduction gearing are bolted together as a single unit, so determining which is producing the sound from within the cabin isn't really possible.

I think most serious race cars use straight-cut gears. This video demonstrates the sound of straight-cut gears really well: Straight Cut Gears (youtube.com)

Could it be gear whine from the reduction gears? Maybe they're straight-cut gears vs. traditional helical-cut. Straight cut is more efficient, cheaper and lighter to build and house, and typically stonger, but noisier. The only down side to straight cut is the noise. Cheaper, lighter and more...

I love that the power icon in the app is a hexagon though, as are the features of the dog mode paw print. :)

This will be my 7th truck, two mid-size and four full-size truck previously.

There are a few factors: 1) No minor scratch and dent worries 2) Efficiency -- Arguably the most efficient EV truck available 3) Tesla charging network 4) Familiar minimalistic controls 5) Truck things, such as hauling large or dirty items in the bed.

The only thing that might benefit from some sort of break-in procedure are the brakes. I've never worried about doing it though and have had no issues with longevity or braking effectiveness.

This is an ancient thread with bogus information. Scratch the $40K RWD truck. It will never exist. The RWD truck that will exist will be a single motor for $60K.

I caught that comment of Elon too.

RWD should do fine in the snow using light throttle, NO LOCKER activated and regen set to low. A locker will only cause the vehicle to slip sideways on snow and ice.

I see that. Having never been in any vehicle with ventilated seats I had no idea what to look for on the UI. It looks very straight forward. (y)

Excellent, thanks!

I didn't find any indication of ventilated seats in the video. He mentioned that the seats look ventilated, but that they weren't (speaking about the rear seats), but I didn't find any mention of the front seats being ventilated. Do you have a timestamp?

Pretty sure you're thinking of the Appalachians. :geek:

The Rockies? The time zone between Pacific and Central? Ring any bells?

11 am Pacific. 12 pm Mountain 1 pm Central 2 pm Eastern

Absolutely, positively WILL NOT open ... unless Franz throws another steel ball.
