    Rear Wheel Steering

    Could the CT do a "TANK TURN" if the front wheels turn all the way LEFT while the rear wheels turn all the way RIGHT. Perhaps a software selection will allow that maneuver. I think the reason Elon added the rear steering is so it could compete heads up with the Hummer Crab Walk and Rivian Tank...

    How can the Tri-Motor Cybertruck at $70k possibly be real?

    The cost reduction to produce these trucks began with their design and NO paint shop which is 1/3 of a normal factory, no stamping equipment just laser cut and fold panels, Gigapress undercarriage and robot installed plug and play wiring harness. It was designed for simplicity to build from the...

    Ok if GM/Ford go under?

    Legacy manufacturers have a dilemma. They can go out of business with the old dealership model of cash flow through new car sales, repairs and used car sales or sell million mile EV's that won't need repairs, are constantly updated and will last for many more years. However, profit by...

    Auto Insurance on the Cybertruck

    I was paying $1600/yr with State Farm on my Model X which dropped to $800/yr when I switched to Progressive because they consider the safety features of a Tesla. However, I think by the time the Cybertruck is produced Tesla will insure these trucks themselves. Insurance companies that don't...

    Is a Cyber line of Tesla vehicles on the horizon?

    I like the car version but it should be bare metal the same as the others since eliminating the paint segment of the factory is a key element in limiting production costs. Aftermarket raps people can do on their own.

    30X stainless steel will be a challenge for insurers and body shops

    I believe Sandy Munro said the entire body will be formed from the same steel since it has to be strong enough to become the frame of the truck. It is too strong to be stamped but will be laser cut and then folded into the desired shapes with a break press.

    30X stainless steel will be a challenge for insurers and body shops

    Tesla is going to be writing their own insurance policies in the near future undercutting the costs of traditional insurance companies. They will have the most data on how frequent Tesla vehicles are in an accident and be able to make deals with "Tesla Certified" body shops for the repairs...

    Cybertruck as a Military, Combat, Tactical Vehicle - Video Analysis and Renderings

    You won't need a grid everywhere to charge these vehicles. What you need is a tanker truck with an electric generator making electricity for a fleet of vehicles which is a lot less volume than a convoy of tanker trucks hauling fuel oil. The military could also set up field solar arrays at bases...
