Cybertruck confirmed specs / features list

[RonGonRetired]

Also another feature Elon mentioned was another varient of the Vault Door that was lined with Tesla Solarglass or solar panels that can recharge an estimated 15 kiles of range during daylight hours, perfect for going the little extra bit or keep the ac running or just keeping the battery from dropping slightly in the cold. And I think someone mentioned it, but also don't forget the Matte Black option. (Not my personal pick but still cool.) Anyone else have any thoughts or wishes about the color or what they'd choose?

I'm thinking Matt black on the hood to match the top glass tonneau.

This is what I have gathered so far: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R With Kevlar 35x12.50 mud-terrain tires. Also, this closeup of the wheel without the aero cover (from the glass test video):

From quadratec:
The Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar is Goodyear's first off-road tire to incorporate DuPont™ Kevlar®, an innovative material that's, pound for pound, ...
$231.99 to $515.99

The matte black hood would reduce glare and be a possible color scheme for law enforcement vehices.

I ran the MT/R in 35/12.50x15 for around six years, really great off road. A little bit easy to puncture the ultra-thin sidewalls, but they got insanely good life when I didn't puncture them. The larger wheels on this won't be nearly as good off road, but that's a necessary compromise for the capacity and the drivetrain (such as brake size).

Any info on the solar bed cover?

Any info on the solar bed cover?

Other than the fact that it would be completely useless and only add a handful of miles in a day?

I haven't heard anything about the solar bed cover.

But I'm really curious about some of the features mentioned by Elon once upon a time that have not been talked about since.

For instance, what happened to the fresh water source?
And we have heard a little more than one thing about the included pressurized air source but we don't know the capacity or if it will just work for stuff like pumping up tires.
And there was the patent for dynamic airing of tires. Is that going to be on the CT?
And of course, the boat-worthiness of the CT. How long does it float? Is it propelled?
etc...

Basically, I have a lot of curiosity but very little hope of hearing anything till the actual launch anouncement or first release. Luckily I'm pretty patient.

No chance that’s coming. The wire management alone would be far too complex and unreliable

Probably wasted their time getting a patent for it then...

The average person drives 30 miles per day, which I have done for 10 years.
I live in Austin, and Elon said that 4 hours in the sun will put 15 miles in it.
I get a LOT more than 4 hours of sunlight each day.

I only drive 14 km a day so the solar cover might do it !

It looks like the rear glass roof is solar on the beta. But it's highly likely the vault cover won't be despite the patent.

It won't add much if any range, but will stop the CT discharging from parasitic drain. (Sentry mode etc)

When I’m camping in the middle of nowhere, gaining 2 miles a day is 1000000x better than losing 10 miles a day which is the current state.

When I went to Hawaii last winter, I left my car at a friends place for 2 weeks. It sure would be nice if when he came to pick me up it still had enough juice to get to the airport and home without hitting a Supercharger.

It also means I only need one Wall Connector at home.

Yes, if every time you use your truck you plug in when you are done… it Is nearly worthless. But that’s pretty boring.

LOL, the solar support is even sillier than the sixth seat argument.

Would be nice. That’s it. About 1000 miles ahead of “Boat Mode” in terms of usefulness for most people.
