Knight Rider Mode? And it has to have that voice and call me Micheal all the time.
Heck, Elon himself doesn't know what it'll cost!
I want the front upper laser bar too but i watched a video on the capabilities of the new headlights and how they are several degrees higher power than traditional head lights. If that is the case, will we need the extra light bar above the windshield?
The voice of the car is so yesterday. I want my cybertruck to talk in Tina Turner’s voice from Beyond Thunderdome!
Absolutely 100% need!
Can we choose? I'd like to change it from time to time. Or maybe give it the voice of R2-D2.
I highly doubt that the CT will convert "traditional" 3/4 ton truck buyers. Most likely it will be the same group of people buying hummer EVs, rivians, and even lightnings. Towing horse trailers and construction equipment are huge energy draining tasks, both of which can be time sensitive depending on the job. People hauling these things long distances dont have the time to sit and let this thing charge 3-4 times in a single trip. Also, if you get to your jobsite there is no guarantee that there is a charger readily available with the capability to charge it in a timely manner. There are, however, plenty of gas stations strewn across the US...One light bar will also lower manufacturing costs.
From what I can see the exterior fit and finish looks excellent on the Beta version.
This truck will be unlike anything currently offered in the pickup truck segment. RWS, no exterior door handles, the ability to float for a short distance, amazing towing capacity, etc.
I predict is the CT will convert some traditional 3/4 ton pickup buyers who tow horse trailers, 5th wheels, construction equipment, etc. It’s designed to be a durable SS work horse.
I believe he said it would come standard at the time...Absolutely 100% need!
if I’m not mistaken a few years back, I think it was mentioned as either an option or possible option
From what I recall regarding Elon's reply is that it wasn't clear if he was referring waist-level light bar (for headlights and DRLs) or the upper light bar that would make it to production. We've seen the waist-level light bar in operation so that will likely make production; the upper light bar has only shown up on the first prototype in 2019.
I have talked extensively about this in the past. It is a chicken-egg situation. Musk was smart enough to build the charging system out as he built the cars and expanded it. Where is the vaunted Rivian Adventure Network? This isn’t 2010. We are at the start of the S curve of adoption. More charging stations are coming. That is the weak link and government is not really helping despite the billions of spending planned.
I would want something that casts up and to the sides. The point of a big, tough truck light bars is not sticking flashlights atop it to break or make camp in the dark ^-^ Or move debris, or check out a wash, or...
The problem isn't the amount of charging stations it's charging time and range loss when towing voluminous trailers. What isn't much of a problem in the 1/2 ton market does become a problem in the 3/4 ton and above market. In terms of battery technology we're just not to the point where you can make an EV truck for a reasonable price that can convert most 3/4 ton truck buyers. Then there's the fact that Cybertruck's design just doesn't lend itself very well for that market either as the bed sails can get in the way of gooseneck/5th wheel trailers and it can't be sold as a chassis cab due to the unibody-exoskeleton construction.
