2024 Cybertruck Official Specs Leaked?! 😱 - Udated With Compare/Analysis

[Tinker71]

I remember jumping into my Model 3 at 11 PM one night after the "speed" update just so I could do a 0 to 60 test to see if I could perceive the difference.

The OTA updates were really exciting for the first year or so of ownership, we got so many new features during that period. Now when I see an OTA update I seldom care as they are mostly minor tweaks instead of noticeable improvements to the car.

I wonder if the early days of the Cybertruck will be like that at all for things like off-road capabilities, ect. That is the sort of thing I can see changing via OTA for the Cybertruck as they potentially create new driving modes, ect.

I bet we will see tweaks to off road capabilities.

Pretty disappointed with the 72.8” bed length.
Wish the power outlets were higher capacity along with outlets in the frunk.
If this is accurate, could have bought a Lightning with similar to better specs.

Actually, 6 ft. is standard on most pickups. The Chevy has a folding midgate which give them 10 feet, but the bed is 6 ft.

Based on these specs....should be fine getting in my garage.
Was starting to get worried.

I have an S now and have a couple of feet to give on length...although getting through the garage doors on the width is kinda tight (I have to collapse the mirrors) but the widths look pretty similar. I should be able to make it work. Will be tight and kinda pain in the ass - but it will work.
Great news.

There's an obvious joke in here somewhere. I'll go with the standard:

“According to one Chris Nicholson, who specializes in stainless steel finish maintenance, mainly of DeLoreans owned by collectors across the globe, the material can absolutely get dents, scratches, and dark spots. To fix those, he often has to resort to removing the top finish layer and then sanding the spot. He is of the opinion that Cybertruck owners "are going to have to learn how to do this," if they want to keep their pickup looking tough yet as pristine as it came out of the Texas Gigafactory.”


Can’t believe they doxed @CyberGus like that

When I want to restore the shine and remove blemishes, I buff the surface with a Scotchbrite pad following the grain.

It takes about 1 beer per panel

Rivian R1T has 11k tow capacity, regardless of dual or quad motors. I don’t think the engine is the limiting factor, but the wheelbase

Towing is typically limited by the weight of the tow vehicle and to some extent its brakes. There is a max stopping distance requirement and also a hold on a hill requirement (hold on a hill is without the trailer brakes helping).

Finally, a (hopefully) definitive answer to the question I've had.

Looks like I can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall in the back lying flat.

That's one of the key definitions of a work truck, for me.

"Work Truck" = a truck you can load up with the scraps from your project and not care if the bed gets dirty, scratched, or even dented.

Unneeded for the vast majority of CT owners true. If there is anything I've learned from this forum. Most people will rarely if ever used their truck bed. This is really just a lifestyle/fashion statement for most. Me included, except that my lifestyle needs a longer bed and uses the bed. I'm in the minority. By the time my number gets called, I'll be thinking hard on the choice between this and the Silverado EV. Mainly based on price and how either of them perform after many years of early adopter users.

But the Chevy only has 1200 lbs payload, so its larger bed is less useful.

If the frunk was the only lockable storage, I would probably agree, but the vault cover significantly reduces the need for a large frunk IMO.

People have been driving pickups for over 100 years, and no one ever complained about the size of frunk Now we have a pickup with a OEM lockable bed cover and a frunk. No one else has that right now.

For what it's worth I hardly use the frunk in my MY. I keep the kind of stuff in there that I keep in my car, but don't use much. Out of sight out of mind. I'll use the CT frunk the same way, so it's large enought for my purposes.

The large Frunk in my Lightning is pretty much wasted space. Mostly becuase I park in the garage with the front up against the wall.

If I have cargo to carry, I use the space in this order:
1. If it fits in the back seat and suitable to be in the cabin, I put it there. Lots of tools, groceries, purchases in boxes, etc.
2. If its not suitable to go in the cabin, I put it in the bed. Which is annoying because when I go to pull it out, its going to have slid to the front where its hard to reach.
3. If its stuff I carry around in the truck, but use infrequently, or don't load/unload at home, I put in the frunk. Great for tools, jumper cables, lawn chairs, and spare/emergency winter gear.
4. if it doesn't fit in the truck, it goes in/on a trailer.

I could do it for 3 beers per panel...

It’s an anchor point. It’s very likely that there will be no on board air port. Allowing a connection to the compressed air system could compromise the suspension which is a a critical operating feature on the vehicle. I doubt they would be allowed to if they wanted to. It would be like tying your hydraulic brake line to an auxiliary port so you could open something with the hydraulic pressure.

off-roaders sometimes us hydraulic winches powered by the power steering pump...

I might be ok with that because those are both closed systems. I have a background in engineering and i just have a really hard time believing that they would allow users to just freely tie into a system. it would be like putting a hydraulic jackhammer port on the power steering pump that you can plug into and unplug.

So i understand the process right:

Step 1) Rub stainless with scotchbrite pad
Step 2) Pour beer on stainless panels
Step 3) Lick beer off panels for optimum shine and to confuse the neighbors
