Cybertruck bed scale?

[Relaxjim]

Curious is the cybertruck will have sensors in the truck bed to approximate how much weight is there. The 2022 ford lightening had them but discontinued for 2023. Seems like a good feature when hauling heavy payloads.

The CT has air shocks on all four wheels and they are computer controlled so I would think some fancy computer application could calculate weight from shock air pressure to give you something close. I found some info on air suspension gauges so I assume Tesla has already looked into this.

During the original Cybertuck reveal, these words

were displayed above, and Elon specifically said,

" ... you need it to be able to adjust dynamically depending on what the load is - if you've got a lot of people on board - if you've got a full bed in the back - it's got to adjust accordingly ..."​

I don't think they would be dropping this feature, as it seemed very important to Elon.

However, it will also be interesting to find out more about how the Cybertruck possibly might be able to adjust or level itself when loads are unbalanced or biased heavily to one side. Elon mentioning the "back" does allude to this capability, but it would be cool to see more details, and possible active load compensation indicators in the screen UI somewhere, for each corner of the air suspension, and even indications of overall added weight.​

A distinction:

Having adaptive air for load is related to but different from the Lightning’s scales OP appears to be asking after



I don’t think the Ram truck with 4-corner adaptive air has a scale interface, but it has a similar load-leveling the CT should have

as I understand it, if you go material over weight the load leveling function throws up some warnings so that you don’t blow a line or bag and end up in your bump stops
