How many tires fit in Cybertruck bed? 8 according to new sighting photos (2/3/23)! 🛞

Lots of times the front tire hangs out with a blanket protecting the paint... Blanket may not be necessary for the CT

Well, in a Cybertruck you'll be able to hear every rattle and thump so the blanket might be needed to hush it up!

Do people do this with motorcycles? Seems like backing it into the vault and lifting the wheel up over the tailgate would be really tough.

I see it a lot with mountain bikes, usually with special pads, though I’ve done it without. But the bed on the Cybertruck should be long enough for 3-4 mountain bikes at a slight angle without dangling over the tailgate.

Payload range test, anyone?

They didn't shoot down to Costco for those tires. I wonder if this truck has the two pictured, and went away for some laps to see under load what the range was achieved? Calibrating range algorithm?

They saw my post complaining about no pictures with a load in the bed so “leaked“ this shot. I’m still going with the idea that the recent slew of photos was a deliberate leak.

Shuddap and let me bask in this temporary illusion of relevance.

Depends on the weight of the bike. You'll see trials bikes and motocross treated like downhill bicycles in this way.

The tailgate keeps them from sliding forward and backwards, which is the reason to do this. Yes, it's less secure than the vault, but you meet somewhere in town to pack the truck with the bikes so you don't have to fight for parking space at the trail head.

One trail here they take a single truck to the top and drop bikes and riders off, then take the truck to the bottom. As long as they don't pull a stupid u on the drop-off corner, it saves them pumping back up the hill.

I'm not convinced it was an accident.

Perhaps they're "leaking" cause they're not showing us ANYTHING on March 1st and don't wanna have everybody thinking it's "CanCeLeD" again.

When the CT is built with using production castings in Austin then we will be seeing production versions. It will probably be late spring before castings are ready.

Finally, someone answers the title question.

But yeah, we'll see production-intent models sometime in late spring to summer. No idea how much detail we'll see.

Entirely possible.

Last time people got super worked up after a bunch of leaks and seeming hints of a big announcement we got diddly.

I think Investor Day will be good for Tesla. Not sure anything big for Cybertruck. I vacillate on this a lot though.

Me too. Me too..

We will see what happens. 3 weeks! It'll BE there, but how much info will be there is yet to be seen.

I still believe 3rd gen platform IS Cybertruck, and there will be an R1S sized SUV built on its platform and a delivery van too. This will yield some details. But they won't be iron clad concrete confirmed details for Cybertruck.

I wonder if you could get cut on that?
Leaning up against it, talking to someone, you slide a little and slice your back open.

Good point. Noise-blanket not scratch-blanket

I thought they were talking about bicycles. If motorcycles then I have no idea.

There should be no trouble getting bikes in the vault without hanging them over the back. Some people will proabably hang them over the back because it’s convenient, but won’t be needed.
