that’s my understanding of 4WS.

at low speeds, rear wheels turn contra front

at speed, rear wheels turn marginally in same direction as front

A good article here about the main versions and historical steps toward modern 4WS (still pop enough for me to follow)

and the engineering explained guy on it in vid!


So if the rear wheels point counter at low speed, and tandem at high speed, then there is a speed in the middle where the rear wheels do not steer at all.

What a ripoff!

I agree on the rr screen. Who needs that screen in the back anyway? Most kids will be on their phones, won't they.

Only they need in the rear area are cup holders and lots of USB power ports! Maybe even an AC power port or two now we know it’s on 48V system which will support higher power output.

It would be nice if they can control seat heating/ventilating and separate ac as well

Sorry if I missed it being posted, but dude did a follow-on interview



Admittedly I didn’t watch all 1hr of it, but skipping through seemed to be just more hype (presenting guys info as “previously unknown information”) and the “interview” regurgitates the same info, without much clarification.

The interviewer was clearly a dunce on the details.

Again insisting this “special accessory team” is some shocking revelation. I mean, if you’re building a truck, don’t we expect the manufacturer to have to get into the standard accessories? I know that hasn’t really been Tesla’s lane before, but … it’s a truck.

But again on dimensions he continues

• He says staff told him “about 5% smaller”

• “I believe the glass window does still go all the way down”

• he says he was told the exact bed measurements by staff on hand, and then measured with his phone to confirm (as contrasted with the length/width measurements he took with his phone)

• “I was specifically told by the Tesla CyberTruck staff, this vehicle is about 5% narrower than the prototype so we can’t fit the extra seat it would be too narrow, so going by what I was told directly by Tesla staff it’s not a safety thing it’s a size thing”

• he asked staff “why did you switch to quad motor” and response was “I wouldn’t be so sure it’s going to be quad motor”

• “I spent close to an hour talking CyberTruck to these staff”

• asked how air suspension setup will compete in Baja, and they said “they have tested it and jumped it” and it’s built to handle that sort of load

• had a chance to meet and chat with the CyberTruck Team, who worked on it since before the unveil - they were “pumped, so hyped to release the vehicle”

I too think a frunk-gate (head-gate?) would be cool

however one issue for that setup in CT compared to Lightning: the CT frunk appears to be so deep that I don’t know how we reach the back even without a frunk-gate. With a frunk-gate it’ll need a sliding deck!

hmmm….
This is where the 'Frunk-gate' comes with the 'Elon-gation' feature built-in!
Nothing like 'The Present' ;)

He's got such a punchable face and he's really milking that ticket to investor day. I do think he's probably right the stuff he says he heard from staff, less so on his imaginating on price, etc. But he should shut up now. He's not an insider in any capacity.

ouch. When Sandy Munro was at the event, as well as many other folks I listen to, no one seemed to offer up any cool info. Sandy got what he could discern from what he saw while walking around. This gentleman however, is a never ending font of insight. I can’t imagine how he manages to do it. Then again I still want my deal breaking 6th seat. So, maybe it’s just me.

MDR's Twitter profile starts as:



So the first Tesla vehicle came out in 2008. Since then (or whenever MDR had the cash to buy his first Tesla) he has subsequently owned 13 Tesla vehicles? That is 13 vehicles in possibly 15 years. Dude, way to commit. You seem to commit to Tesla vehicles about as much as you commit to your reporting scoops.
