Thank you for posting the tables.

But now its been changed again, and confirmed the full size Cybertruck is to be about 3% smaller, Is it now a 6 ft x 54.5" bed or is it still 6.5ft x 57" ??



P.S. Cybertruck has been removed from the U.S. website.

I want a truck that is the same size and looks as close to the same (DOT appeased)as the one Elon rolled out on stage. If anyone wants a smaller truck go buy a smaller truck. I need a full size truck that can tow a 10,000 pound trailer. The “biggest, baddest” truck was that size not 3% smaller. Definitely not 8% smaller and besides last week we were told engineering was finished.

Why do you think a 3% loss in outer dimensions means a loss of lowing capacity?

It’s still both on the US and Norwegian sites for me. Otherwise it would be exciting as it could signify a refresh of the pages with new images.

I don’t. But I don’t want any reduction in size or towing capacity. The bigger the heavier the truck the more HP the more it can tow. A lighter truck means less younger weight. I don’t keep my F350 in a garage I use it for my construction business in Philadelphia. I tow equipment and material. And on the completely macho nonsensical side I want the biggest baddest truck on the block! I’m just being honest and I’m sure lots of guys feel like I do. Shame on me but I want a CT because not only is it economical (I have a model3) but it will beat the pants off of a Ford Raptor. Raptors aren’t getting used as work trucks! At a 100grand who can afford to? The CT No maintenance if one motor craps the bed you still have two more!!!! 500 mikes between fill ups? That’s the truck I signed up for. Don’t change a thing. I guess I can live with the 3% but please stop there.

Click on the 3 horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner and Cyber truck will appear in the drop down box, and has been like that for a while

Bigger does not necessarily mean heavier or more horsepower or more range.

Nor did Elon say the 3% came from the wheel width/base configuration, the battery (where the weight comes from) or the cargo capacity.

Bigger just means bigger, it doesn't confer any direct benefits to capacity.

3% reduction in the 78" bed is 75.66". I'm not sure Elon will give up the 6.5' bed. We will have to see.

Another something to consider is the only reason the CT didn't fit well in the tunnel (Elon's reason for his choice to shrink the CT) was the height and width. Possibly (although unlikely to me) overall length remains unchanged. peace

I live in the UK and have pre ordered the dual motor CT and was concerned regarding news of not coming to UK. I have only seen one or two articles stating that so do not believe it to be the case.

In the video on youtube with Jay Leno Elon already stated its being reduced by 5%, This puts it inline with a large van in the UK such as a Vauxhall Vivaro. I drive a large van for work and get around the narrow streets in southwest England just fine. I wouldn't recommend it for daily use to pick up your milk in the morning but for a working vehicle it will suit UK just fine.

also looking at your handy charts (cheers for that) the 5% puts it bang on for competition with other vehicles and supplying a larger market worldwide.
