Cybertruck Megacharger compatibility possible? After Megacharger stall for smaller vehicles spotted

was a CharIn standard, didn't hear him say it was old.

Kyle refers to it as MCS "version 2" at time code 20:56 in the video, compares it to triangular "version 3" right after that. Combine with the Wikipedia link I gave above, you have all you need to know.

Meatloaf (RIP), rolling over in his grave RIGHT NOW.

I'm sure it's not the first time his song has been misquoted. ?

On a related note... was a sad day when he left us. Some of the best concerts I've seen were Meatloaf gigs, particularly at smaller venues. Him singing standing next to a grand piano painted like a hotrod was memorable. Last time I saw him though he was losing his voice, kind of wish I didn't go. Anyway, awesome memories of a unique performer.

Since we like to name/rename things on this forum, I move that we rename this charger to BBC (Big Black Cable) so that we can distinguish it from the current charging cable. Do we have a second?

BBC... Let me Google that right quick.

... guys, I recommend a different abbreviation...

Hey, is it possible there's a 2nd NACS charge port in the Frunk on the passenger's side? It kind of looked like it in that potato footage of multiple Cybertrucks at Gigatexas with their frunks opened. It would at least make trailering kind of possible without having to disconnect your trailer at SOME sites...

I would be concerned about potential liability for drive train damage. whereas deflated tires, meh. they can refill them at a later inconvenient time. maybe remove the Schroder valve all together. not many people carry those around.

I vote THICC... Totally High I-rated Charge Cable

At think point its looking non existent for the CT. Seems to be the standard charge port on all the ones shipping currently.

Maybe we all start our own national towing LLC company and designate ourselves as official tow vehicles so we have some legitimacy when we tie a chain to an ICErs axles and pull them out of the EV stall.

Do you think there will be an adapter or possibly that the Cybertruck will have 2 ports for charging in order to support a connection to the Megacharger?

The Megacharger sighted at Baker, California is quite interesting since the space it was installed in seemed like it was intended for smaller vehicles like the Cybertruck. Interestingly enough, CEO Elon Musk and Semi truck engineering executive Dan Priestley noted during the vehicle’s first delivery event last December that Tesla had developed a MW charger that could be used for both the Semi and the Cybertruck.

it wasnt installed. its on a pallet still.
