Cybertruck suspension & brakes exposed on a lift (photos 9/16/23)

[Eye of Elon]

Disappointed, I was hoping Elon would apply the " the best part is no part" philosophy here, to save weight

As opposed to a cut-out in the floor Flintstones style ???

So how would that work?

I don’t know what a CNC# should look like, to sort what’s what

Thats many moving parts…

Diameter of rear brake disc is underwhelming. I was expecting dinner plates.....they give you flying bread roll 'saucers'

EVs have, as is pointed out above, regen that makes large brakes less required. You only heat these up in emergency maneuvers.

I'm mostly being cheeky....
BUT, if offered, the carbon dinner plates please Sir!
Imagine BAJA 1000.

That's the point of having quad motors - direct control of torque instead of needing to use the brakes and slack in a differential.

FOUR of them. How did Elon do that?!?!?!

The wheels are round and does not levitate. Elon needs to work on antigravity technolo!

Brakes are for people without insurance

Just don't go all "Sandy Munroe" on it.

Not to worry by the time I get mine Sandy will have completely dissected one.

So disappointing. I was expecting Tesla to one-up other cars on the market and have six brakes at least.

Lame!

BUT ... BUT.... Elon did one-up other cars including the yet to release Cybertruck 11 years ago. My 2013 P85+ already have 6 brake pads.

The DeLorean has a 2nd set of tiny little pads for the parking brake. It doesn't work very well lol
