    Question for an engineer.

    All y’all bitching about your TRUCK not fitting in the garage sound like total pussies to me. Wtf. Garages are for piling up junk and projects not cars, definitely not trucks.

    Musk: 'Demand For Cybertruck Is Above What Tesla Can Do In 4 Years'

    I thought it wasn’t possible to tell the ship order from the res number. Is it? If the above is true then I’m around 125,000th place.

    Washing the damn thing

    One thing I know about brushed stainless is that it’s one of the most fragile finishes you’ll ever see. I used to make stainless kitchen hoods and they could be scratched by a fingernail. They also show fingerprints very easily. So while it is durable, it will have to have a patina in order...

    Charging with a gas generator?

    I feel like I’m the only one who understands what the OP is even talking about. Either that or some serious point shitters here lol. It’s not about making the truck something it wasn’t designed to be, or making a permanent hybrid, or pissing off campers, or desperately finding ways to burn...

    Offroad performance similar to a Humvee?

    Did someone say approach angle?

    Air compressor?

    H2 cannot self inflate tires. That was a feature of the H1 and only possible due to the portal axles that essentially make the final drive axles very short and dead ended so hollow shaft and fittings on the back. Portal axles have many downsides especially for a consumer grade product so it’s...

    TMZ caught Elon in Cybertruck last night

    Definitely not an official state sign. Probably put there illegally by restaurant to help people get out because a left turner might be stuck waiting forever holding up the line, unless you’re Elon and say **** it and jam out left. It’s odd that there is a light one way, must be basically for...

    Towing Range

    I don’t think there is much question that this will definitely NOT be the case. Towing 14k for 500mi would take a battery pack bigger than the whole car don’t you think? As said too many variables in towing. Height and wind resistance, hills etc. A cars rage is easier to Calc because it has...

    Why are you so bent on the trailer thing that you needed to mention it twice? Or have you mentioned it a lot more than twice? Lol.

    The REAL Cybertruck wheels

    Yep and good ones too. That’s much heavier and more aggressive than any other stock tire and would be fantastic on a cybertruck. Mudders are too noisy and inefficient for most people let’s be honest.

    Cybertruck bulletproof? To what caliber?

    Have you ever shot high power rifles at steel? It’s hard to say exactly what would happen in real life because too many variables. He mentioned 9mm but what range? Bullet type? Power factor? Angle of contact? It all matters greatly. So, if someone trying to shoot you, it’s unlikely that it...

    The REAL Cybertruck wheels

    I think the wheels are the only part that looks stupid. Why on earth would you want spikes like that? There’s no reason for them and it’s a styling fumble imo.

    Any Taco to Cyber Converts?

    Well we may have different belief in what a rock is. They are on the passenger car end of duty, nothing special at all engineering wise, and cost a premium for what they are. The reality is that a full size truck will do more, cost less, last just as long and be a whole lot tougher. But they...

    Any Taco to Cyber Converts?

    2012 Tacoma was the most expensive and worst vehicle I’ve purchased to date. I’ll never go back to that pos platform. It’s just a weaksauce car that gets shitty mpg and looks sort of like a truck.

    CT as a bug out vehicle

    Bugging out by definition means you gotta leave where you’re at. This is quite often the case in emergency. Almost always in fact. Either because war, natural disaster, disease, food shortage, etc etc. if your homestead is habitable then everyone else’s probably is too, and nobody needs to...

    Rear Seat Head room?

    I think the idea is that if 6’4” guy can sit in back at all, then there’s enough room. Speaking as a 6’5” guy, you either fit or you don’t. And if he does, well, most will. It’s a back seat after all, and pickup truck back seats are known to be some of the most cramped on earth. Oh ya, most...

    My two biggest problems with the cybertruck

    Maybe you misread what he said but he’s right that’s exactly how open diffs work, you have the traction that the lesser grabby wheel has on each end x2 (on each end). Assuming a locked center diff. You’re also right that with two motors it’s essentially the same thing, because you’re getting...

    Huuuge Wheelbase

    I’ll help you guys a little on what cam dictate turn radius in 4wd vehicles, it’s largely due to the u joints in the front axles. They don’t like to turn and get force run through them. CV joints are better, but a 2wd will always have an advantage in turning from a design perspective as long as...

    Love the Truck, but...

    I’m really hoping they keep the bench. I LOVE a bench seat. Dogs, people, stuff. If you want the typical layout you flip down the console. What’s not to like about that?

    Cybertruck is NOT aerodynamically efficient - why the shape?

    Many surprising facts can come from wind tunnel testing. Who would have thought a dimpled golf ball would fly farther? We will not know until the real data comes in, however, the peaked roof and down sloping aft section does lend well to a clean break in the flow over the back. And the...
