I wouldn't worry about the photos. Tesla is advertising specific dimensions on their website and that is what I would go by. I wouldn't even count on them reducing the length by 6 inches until they confirm that reduction on the website.

I find it funny how people find more legitimacy in a skewed photo then the specs provided by the manufacturer. Tesla gives the length down to a tenth of an inch but of course this photo taken off-center with 40:1 ratio of the truck with 300px red arrows is proof that Tesla is lying about the...

No way possible to get the $7K rebate with a Cybertruck. Tesla will be at about 520K cars sold by the end of this year and they will likely sell 200K+ in 2020. Remember, the rebate is only active once the car is...delivered.

Mine always makes this sound on about a 1000' elevation change. This only occurs during the colder months. In the summer, all is good.

Huh? No one here has said there's a problem. We're just discussing potential options. Anything else you want to gripe about?

That definitely looks more useful for me than a 6th seat.

??? Who said we wouldn't pay more?

Here's a good article on black stainless steel appliances: Should You Buy Black Stainless Steel Appliances? (Reviews / Ratings)

Yeah, you're probably right. They are pretty low on options on first productions it seems.

I applaud Elon and Tesla for offering a 6-seat configuration, but I have never needed 6 seats with my current truck. Even having a back row in the Cybertruck is overkill for my needs, but so be it. What do you guys see as the chances that Tesla offers a 5 seat configuration with a Model 3 like...

Yes, I was the only one charging during my stay that I saw.

Exactly. What was funny is that when I called Holiday Inn Express from Corning asking if they had an EV charger, the receptionist said "Yes, but you'd need to have a Tesla because our chargers only work for Tesla cars." It was music to my ears. :D

From what I remember the charge I was getting was around 32 miles/hour. This Holiday Inn Express was relatively new or renovated. I agree, not the greatest hotel, but for the rate, you get your money's worth - especially with the added Tesla wall connectors!

This past summer I drove through California on my way to LA. On the drive back home going north I stopped at Corning to charge up only to be greeted by a line of Teslas waiting to use one of the 6 stalls. I probably would have waited at least an hour being the 11th car in line. As I waited, I...

Awesome tips everyone, this really helps out! I'll charge the car to 90% at home and let the superchargers deal with what the charge limit should be for the rest of the trip and add maybe 5% to their suggestion. Can't wait to test out the supercharger network!
