    parking into parking spots with cars in spots on both sides - anybody master this yet?

    If there is enough room, I will always back my F-150 in. If it's too tight, head to the pickup truck area out on the farther reaches of the lot. You'll be in good company.

    Rear view mirror - visibility?

    I typical use my standard side mirrors on my F-150 for backing up and use the rear view and camera for pedestrian detection. It keeps me in practice. However, having truck or tow mirrors would be a big improvement, especially for towing. I'm hoping the CT side mirrors are decent enough. Oh...

    Give up off-road capability to increase highway range.

    Kyle also mentioned that the CT was much heavier, adding more flex load on the sidewalls, and had to support speeds of 112 mph. I'm not sure how regular AT tires would hold up both in performance and wear. The stock tires may be the best compromise already.

    Magnetic Confirmed: Stainless Steel on Cybertruck is MAGNETIC 🧲

    The austenitic SS is cold rolled (work hardened) to create martensitic steel, which can have magnetic properties. So that might explain the magnet sticking.

    Leaked interior Cybertruck photo!

    I too, was tired of throwing good money after bad and bought an F-150 last year. I bought a low trim with a few extras figuring that I'd sell it when my turn came for a CT. But I actually love my truck. At least I have time to wait for the CT reveal and perhaps a test drive before I have to make...

    Cybertruck spotted at Tesla booth at Michigan Formula SAE competition

    I bought a magnetic pad with a pole to clean my windshield. They use washable microfiber cloths. Warning! Very pricy. I had bought mine years ago on Kickstarter or something similar for less. But it does work well! https://windshieldwow.com/collections/frontpage

    How the latest Cybertruck doors open (videos)

    It's not so much a gimmick but Elon's ethos that a car should have fewer controls, such as a shift control. The car should know which direction you need to go and shift automatically. I read somewhere that the CT might have face recognition to unlock the door for you. As long as it works, I'm...

    UPDATE! Try as I might, I cannot find a patent for a regen wiper. But the Electric Viking talks about it here.

    KING KONG cybertruck wiper not very futuristic...here is how to produce the look this trucks deserves...

    I'm wondering if the rumor is that the wiper is made by Berg Regen, an aftermarket parts company. Otherwise, the rumor makes no sense to me.

    Rear Wheel Steering

    I'm wondering if the CT is capable of doing the "K" turn as recently announced by Rivian in their patent. If so, can Rivian really patent it? https://jalopnik.com/the-new-rivian-ev-could-get-a-neat-k-turn-pivoting-tric-1847247553

    Rear Wheel Steering

    The yoke steering will benefit from 4 wheel steering. For the same front-wheel steering angle input, the CT will turn quicker with the addition of opposite rear steering inputs. This makes wrestling the yoke less of a chore. I used to drive military tugs with selectable 4-wheel steering to tow...

    1.4 MILLION Reservations for the Cybertruck, and Counting!!!

    ON Battery Day, Elon said that the Semi and CyberTruck would be getting the new 4680 cells. He used no qualifiers. Because of the new cell's structural nature and how it is integrated with the C/T, it would be difficult to use an older, non-structural cell in other varients. I would expect to...

    Car designer Frank Stephenson's view on the Cybertruck

    Elon had me at Exoskeleton! No further explanations needed nor wants unfulfilled. Admittedly I did go through the 7 stages of acceptance and delayed ordering until day 2.5.

    What is your biggest Cybertruck question you'd like answered by Tesla before committing to purchase?

    Where will the windshield wipers sit? I've been studying the smooth transition from the hood to the class and can't see where the wipers will sit.
