    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Exciting to see the CT looking closer to production ready. Really hoping the front light bar didn't get scrapped. Also, I was wanting to see the side sail pillar storage on this closer to production prototype. Still no sign on what the frunk will look like/how it will open. Liking that there...

    Hummer EV

    Don't quote me, but I believe R1T it is shorter, narrower, and not as long as the Hummer EV or CT. Haven't spent too much time looking at Rivian other than for their R1S.

    Hummer EV

    Definitely not practical for most use cases but that is part of the fun. An AMG Mercedes and a base C class can drive through any coffee line just the same. Got to push the car/truck to its limits (track for that AMG and off road for the Hummer) to see the practical use case of these high...

    Hummer EV

    Rivian has done just that with their mid-size roughly Toyota Tacoma sized pickup. Big market out there for that size truck. However, Hummer EV and Cybertruck are more in the F-150+ range. Different size vehicles with different expectations around efficiency. Same as ICE trucks of different...

    Hummer EV

    My '19 Ford Raptor is hitting on average 12 mpg. 47 MPGe isn't the best but still better than my current truck. As we see more auto manufacturers coming into the electric market we will have options on all parts of the efficiency spectrum (commuter cars to high performance trucks/cars)...

    CyberTruck Image Leaked

    I'm sure we are going to see some folks putting a hitch mounted, swinging spare tire carrier on these trucks that really want easy access to their spare.

    Hummer EV

    I agree with you on that. Given we are all "patiently" waiting to get our hands on the cyber truck, obscene is obviously not a deterrent or none of us would be so hyped to get behind the yoke of that stainless steel tank! ha

    Hummer EV

    Definitely seems like it is going to be a beast. Lot of weight to move to get those performance specs. It's nice seeing some of the Edition 1's getting in the hands of buyers this month and last. Unfortunately not a lot of youtube videos yet from these folks. Hoping to see some more reviews from...

    Didn't the new roadster have a button in a similar spot for door release?

    CyberTruck Image Leaked

    Wonder if this is from the rumored pilot line in Fremont. Glad to see some progress. Wiper blade is still not looking ideal but looks way better than from that drone video. Maybe it’s the angle of the picture, but I’m not seeing the light bar above the windshield. Hopefully we see CT’s out...

    2022 Toyota Tundra

    The new tundra looks nice! I plan on keeping my ford raptor for long distance trips out to the middle of nowhere. No car/truck (ice or EV) is going to be perfect for every adventure. Either have to make accommodations or have multiple options.

    Tesla all but confirms Cybertruck production delay until 2022

    If I remember right the preorder reservation page really highlighted locking in FSD cost. Seems like they didn't need to do that back then if they didn't plan on honoring it.

    Hummer EV

    Put in a reservation for the Hummer EV just in case cyber truck is delayed further (2023 - ). Hummer looks great and sounds like they are actually starting to ship them. I might be late to the party, but I think there will be more people dropping these expensive reservations than not. Always...

    Cybertruck

    Could be indicative of a further delay or it could have been updated since we are in 2022 now. No need to call out the year. In any case I bet we get some updates from Elon and team on their next earnings call. Didn’t he tweet an update was coming this month?

    CyberTruck seen on Test Track in Fremont

    Glad to see the CT testing. That wiper blade design looks pretty chunky. Could be fine up close but from a distance it seems to take away from the trucks clean lines.

    Cybertruck News

    Hopefully they keep the range at 500+. I'm all for the extra motor but hope they don't launch with a smaller battery quad motor version. I want this truck to go all out. Presume price for the quad over the tri motor is going to be higher. Personally I assumed before the reveal that this was...

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    Personally I view the CT as being very practical while looking crazy impractical. It is obviously polarizing as can be seen on forums like this. No need to try to change this beast. Either jump on the CT train or purchase another Tesla or EV truck/SUV coming to market in the near term. CT won't...

    Cybertruck production likely delayed....Post your best guess of WHEN for the record!

    Website now shows 2022 vs end of 2021 for production. Think we all assumed this would be the case, but I was hoping they would ship a few trucks before end of 2021 to stay on original schedule. Q2 2022 is my optimistic bet for when we see first deliveries.

    How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

    Agree that if the supercharger network was opened I would definitely look at other brands differently. I could see why Tesla would take such action to further drive adoption of EV's, but they would need to, in turn, rapidly expand the SC network to handle the extra users. If other OEM's want to...

    S plaid + cancellation implications on CT

    I feel like plaid+ MS was “cancelled” until a later date when new batteries are available and Tesla needs to pull a demand lever for their performance model S. The tea leaves are telling me tri motor CT is going to be delayed into mid 2022 at the soonest. Hope I’m wrong because I reserved one...

    what version of cybertruck dual or tri motor will be produced 1st?

    I hope I'm wrong but... Plaid+ Model S with the 520+ range is quoted on the Tesla website as mid-2022 estimated delivery. That model is obviously relying on the new batteries for range/performance. If I had to guess our tri motor CT's won't be shipping before those. Therefore, if the Austin...

    Elon: no door handles on the Cybertruck

    I could definitely see that capacitive swiping function right on the CT's B pillar enabled by phone key. I'm down for that out here in SF but in cold weather climates, I could see how that could be less than ideal in the icy/winter months.
  23. JG T3SLA

    How Long?

    I have a tri motor reserved right when reservations were opened after launch. I was optimistically thinking end of 2021 but with the recent comments from EM I'm thinking Q1/Q2 2022 at the earliest. Therefore, I ordered some new off road lights for my Raptor to have some fun with it while I wait...

    Options

    Part of me wants to wrap the truck matte black but the other half really likes the fact that it should be able to take a beating and not show any surface damage. Guess when the wrap gets damaged it should be easy to have replaced but that is a headache that could be avoided in the truck's "door...

    Nice to have...wish list...Tesla design please read thx

    Ideally the new S/X sound system with active noise cancellation makes it to the CT. This should help with road noise. I hope several of these new features from the refreshed S/X make it to CT but given the more spartan approach of the CT I doubt they will bring backseat screen and items like...

    Blog Musk Says Cybertruck Updates Coming Soon

    Will be nice to get some updates on the CT and production timeline. I'm hoping not too much shrinkage to usable space. Ideally we get some pictures/videos of the final production ready interior, including storage spaces and finishes. Not that it will change my desire to get one of these but...

    Hummer EV

    Agree with the folks wishing CT interior wasn’t as spartan. I’d like to see a little more Rivian/Range Rover flare but with Tesla that’s a compromise you have to make to get EV gold standard, charging infrastructure, FSD aspirations, etc. I’d be pleasantly surprised if Tesla built out CT...

    Hummer EV

    Was hoping for more here. Removable roof is really nice. Love that feature. Interior looks a lot like Rivian which is a positive in my book. Range is pretty rough compared to tri motor CT. 500+ miles seems to be necessary given actual real life results are going to be less. Looking forward to...

    From A Ford Raptor to Tri-Motor Cybertruck - Anyone Else?

    I bought a new Raptor earlier this year and also have a reservation in place for tri motor placed right after launch. I’ve been loving my modified raptor so much I might keep it to go along with Cybertruck. If reason wins out I’ll sell the Raptor when CT is available. Never owned a truck before...

    4680 cell implications

    That's a good question. I'd be inclined to delay purchase a bit to get the new batteries. Seems to be a non trivial upgrade so worth the wait. My presumption is that the ranges quoted for the CT, especially the tri motor, are dependent on these new batteries.

    TeraFactory Austin Texas Preliminary Build Schedule --- Substantial completion ****

    Sounds optimistic for keeping on schedule for end of 2021.

    Have ordered - but interior concerns..

    Paper dashboard definitely gave me pause as well. Really hope they pull that off.

    Have ordered - but interior concerns..

    I recently purchased a Ford Raptor truck and the seats are great, especially the ventilated/cooled seats. Would love to see cooled seats in the CT. Interior storage vs. material on the seats is my primary concern. Model 3 vegan leather is fine in my book, but I would like CT seats to be a bit...

    Interior Storage

    Would be nice to have option for middle console vs. 6th seat. I’d take the extra storage.

    Elon states silver only

    Kind of like this. If matte black was available I would probably get it despite really liking the whole no scratch/ding feature of raw finish.

    New screen UI in Cybertruck

    My car before model 3 has an excellent HUD system (BMW) that I enjoyed. The speedometer of that car was constantly being blocked by my hand on the wheel, so the HUD was much appreciated. Model 3/CT just doesn’t need it. The whole premise with AP/FSD is to push to the side gauges and other...

    $7000 US Fed Tax Credit for Cybertruck!

    TMZ caught Elon in Cybertruck last night

    Great video for comparing the truck’s size to a model s, full size range, suburban, etc.

    Tri Moter - plaid mode?

    Bet this will be the same as model 3 with just sport and chill modes. No switching over to different modes to condition the battery for launches.

    Tri motor and single motor have swapped production times

    As much as I was ok with waiting an extra year for a Tri motor, I’m excited 2021 is the new date. Psychologically this feels so much sooner.

    Powered Frunk/Tailgate?

    Wonder if the frunk will be powered like Rivian. Would be nice. Forget if Rivian’s tailgate is powered.

    Rear Seats fold up?

    Website says second row has under seat storage. Not sure if seats flip up like a F-150 but if they do there seems to be storage under there.

    What are you using your cyber truck for?

    Go anywhere... do anything. Performance on all fronts looks to be insane. This will be first vehicle of mine that will be equal parts thrilling speed/handling wise as well as bad A adventure mobile. Before Cybertruck you had to pick sports car or truck. Now you can have both rolled into one...
