    My Most Desired Feature on the CyberTruck

    They are going to need to put a "wall" across the truck to form the back of the bed. Could they not put a removeable panel in the middle of the wall? If the rear seats are removeable and you can take out the middle of the wall you could put a sleeping bag in there and enjoy the heat or AC. I...

    Question for an engineer.

    Park it outside so that the solar panel can get some sun. The stainless steel will be fine with it too.

    Quasar makes your car a big damn powerwall...OK Elon...what you think?

    We have several years (in my case nearly 4) to wait for our trucks. That's enough time for the buying public to come up with a bunch of ideas for options. I think it would be good for both Tesla and us if they would put out a big list of potential options and allow us to select those that we...

    Tesla Cybertruck Orders Hit 146K in Two Days

    When your numbers come up and you can get your two cyber trucks don't you think that someone who ordered months or years later than you will be willing to take your extra truck off your hands for a couple of thou more than you paid for it. People on this thread have said that they are paying...

    Cybertruck Battery and Powertrain Discussion

    No it would not. I am going to call the bottom part of the CT the "pan". As the pan moves down the assembly line the workers will add the wheels, motors and battery. When they install the battery they will either install a 200 mile, 300 mile or 500 mile battery. Making the pan smaller or...

    Favorite options? I want a snowplow and a winch.

    I would like the 500 mile battery in the two motor truck and would be willing to pay enough for it so that Tesla would make a nice profit from the option. Another, much cheaper option that I would like, is a weather radio. I had a Subaru that had a weather radio and it was very handy. I heat...

    Cybertruck Battery and Powertrain Discussion

    I too would like the 500 mile range in a two motor truck. It would be nice if Tesla would allow us to configure our trucks early from a wide list of options/configurations. There are options that people would cheerfully pay to add that they might not now be considering. It is hard for me as a...

    Tesla Cybertruck Orders Hit 146K in Two Days

    Could it be that Musk does not want to advertise the success of the CT because he does not want to encourage the competition to come out with a product like the CT?

    Building a home in the wilderness with this vehicle.

    OK, I have given this matter some thought and here is what I would do. I would buy a generator that runs on propane. I got a 6KW one for about $500 with shipping. I would see if propane can be delivered to your site. If it can I would buy a 500 gallon tank. you can rent a tank but if you...

    Tesla Cybertruck Orders Hit 146K in Two Days

    The reservation tracker says 389K at one spot and 459K at another and the last tweet from Elon that mentioned res. numbers said 250K. Anyone want to make a guess as to which one is closest to being right

    Building a home in the wilderness with this vehicle.

    Do a search for Quasar. They seem to have it figured out now so I guess this is the theoretical future.

    Building a home in the wilderness with this vehicle.

    Lafrisbee lives in Alabama, just about as close to the equator as you are to the North pole. He will get much more power from a solar panel than you do. All he really wants to do is run some power tools to build a cabin. He intends to live IN the cyber truck while he is building it. coleAK...

    Why will you need a Cyber Truck?

    I intend to power my house during outages. I already have the transfer switch installed and so I just need to drive Cyber to the back of the house and plug it in. If I only run the freezer, fridge, and a few lights I expect that the battery will last for a week or longer. I will add a carport...

    Building a home in the wilderness with this vehicle.

    When I am not using the air conditioner my monthly power use is right around 400KW. That is a 3000sq ft house with an electric water heater ,dishwasher, washer and drier, 60+ cfl and led light bulbs,3 tvs, wireless satellite and a well pump. That means that 13 KW a day will suffice to run a...
