    Cybertruck Production Advances to TOOLING Phase!

    Thatā€™s my assertion. IIHS hasnā€™t replaced mirrors because mirror-truth hasnā€™t been met. Iā€™ve driven camera backup for years. I do not find truth in the display. It is helpful that AR lane marking and audio warning signals aide interpreting a camera display. But nothing in-camera has come close...

    New Cybertruck chargeport picture reveals special Tesla logo

    It is charge port .vs. ICE gas cap mentality. A vestige. Reminiscent of gas pumps, hoses and dirty smelly fill-ups the charge door opens from the past that the vehicle is not even a part. From designer inception to prototype the charge port has assumed the position. A position that it did not...

    Three electric pickups walk into a bar…

    During the 5th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Nov 5-10, typical of Tesla in the way that they used glittering and direct descriptors ā€œbeyond imaginationā€ and ā€œdefine benchmarksā€ to describe its S3XY vehicles. Stainless and Performative are two unassailable and untouchable humblebrags...

    New Cybertruck chargeport picture reveals special Tesla logo

    Misunderstoodā€¦misread ā€œPanic Buttonā€ nanny engineering to provide safety device in event of Armageddon. Sure, spring release minimizes driveaway damage as well. Thatā€™s idiotproofing. Iā€™ve driven off once. Iā€™m an idiot.

    Cybertruck launching boat...

    Irrespective that technically Elon will be correct on both points, I think it is the weakest claim put forth to vaunt Cybertruck. Elon needs to either boat CT or clarify that it will act as life preserver for X minutes, allowing time to escape a wet situation. Tesla have made only claim to...

    Cybertruck launching boat...

    Interestingly, floatation doesnā€™t exactly happen in that manner. Its a fallacy to consider Cybertrucks waterproof as floatation. Yes, float exists but in the boat launch scenario Cybertruck owners can be rest assured that the ass-end of their truck isnā€™t going to rise, lose rear tire contact...

    New Cybertruck chargeport picture reveals special Tesla logo

    Tesla goes BYC, placing the cord on owners, the plug receptacles can be located inside the frunk easier than focusing on OG Gas cap locations outside - on the body. Frunk access is shortest path to connect to chargers from either, and both, sides of a Cybertruck. Itā€™s non-interfering...

    New Cybertruck chargeport picture reveals special Tesla logo

    As in ā€œDrive awaysā€? Moot point if interest rates sky. Homeless and desperate will drive away with those charge cables anyway. Suspect EV future will be BYC(Bring your cable) but the acronym will be fancier.

    Cybertruck to enter mass production towards end of 2023

    Operations head at Tesla is that rare masochist who couldā€™ve graduated from an elite 8 in Physics or McGill in Science but couldnā€™t pander to institutional bureaucracy and dropped out. A job like Operations head is going to be the kind of test, daily, that feeds a dropoutā€™s sense of...

    Cybertruck to enter mass production towards end of 2023

    Cybertruck is a ā€œWatchā€ā€¦ Itā€™s TSLA second, arguably third, new EV platform in a storied EV career. Never underestimate a gullwing. But its unafraid to embrace ā€œnewā€ and every platform is a new challenge. Unanswered questions have sifted down to ā€™wait and seeā€™. Unwanted answers to single and...

    Understanding The Exoskeleton / Body -- is there a frame underneath?

    Thatā€˜s one idea that would float a boat! Especially, like using it for flotation at the rear drive unit to keep its ass high and dry. Can Tesla recycle styrofoam peanuts to save pollution? It canā€™t afford taking a demerit on EPA grounds.

    Understanding The Exoskeleton / Body -- is there a frame underneath?

    Simpler better: [0029]/ ā€¦Because the exterior panel 502 is made from a durable material (e.g. steel, aluminum or other metals) there is no need for an interior anti-intrusion bar or other elements to protect the passengers from a side door strike found in conventional vehicle door assemblies...

    Understanding The Exoskeleton / Body -- is there a frame underneath?

    You and many others. Imagine the surprise as people who buy a snow plow or winch ā€“ they require a special mount to the Cybertruck. IDK about a 5th wheel towing hitch. Anything that traditionally uses the frame of a vehicle will not immediately ā€œjust workā€. Hydraulic car lifts will damage a...

    It’s looking like 2024 for Cybertruck deliveries

    Ahemā€¦ the platform, factory, TX workforce, supply chain and DOJO. Elon has big balls changing everything at once, really. Any one of those is a heavy lift. GigaTX and IDRA are why Cybertruck never happened in 2022. Out of the blocks recruitment in Austin wasnā€™t anything like what was expected...

    Understanding The Exoskeleton / Body -- is there a frame underneath?

    Until an engineering walkthrough is performed ala Munroe and Associates. tl;dr Takeaway the exoskeleton. That leaves the Tesla structural batterypack(See:above). It is max. 8ā€ depth x 69ā€+ width x 150ā€ length with two alum. castings chemically bonded at its distal ends. How many sandbags...
