The first CT deliveries are still a long way off, but I thought we would get a head start on the pre-delivery checklist. Here is what I have so far: Check the VIN. Ensure the vehicle was not built at Fremont, or at end-of-quarter. Check the body for paint, ensure there is none. Check the...

Ford hyped it’s planned electric F-150 pickup in a media briefing Wednesday, saying the vehicle will be “designed and engineered for hard-working customers that need a truck to do a job.” The comment seemed to be a dig at other planned electric trucks like Tesla’s Cybertruck and Rivian’s R1T...

Most electric vehicles are still small. However, that’s about to change in a big way. Once upon a time, not too long ago, retired NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal owned a Tesla Model S. So, clearly, he was able to fit in it well enough to drive it. However, a recent video originally posted by...

As someone who has a Bolt but has preordered the Cybertruck, I feel a little awkward browsing the forums without any firsthand Tesla knowledge and am curious if I’m the only one or if there are others like me. Also wondering if anyone else is making the jump from another EV and is as excited...

I finally placed my Cyber Truck preorder last night and will be moving on from my Chevy Bolt when the fateful day arrives and I can’t sleep cause I’m so excited. Does this wear off or am I going to be sleepless for the next 18-24 months?!?!?

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk says Tesla vehicles will soon play “snake jazz or Polynesian elevator music” out of an external speaker. Tesla added external speakers in 2019 to be used for pedestrian warning sounds. The concern is that electric vehicles produce less noise, so pedestrians...

The flat windshield on the electric pickup truck may be ideal for that. We try to cover everything related to exciting patents on the EV world. Weirdly, we missed reporting about a revolutionary windshield wiper Tesla trademarked in September 2019. Like the innovative wiring harness it patented...

While browsing YouTube I came across an ICE teardown. I got lightheaded watching all those many bolts, hoses, cables, seals, gaskets, and accessories get removed, piece by piece, down to the block. It made me think about the CyberTruck (and Teslas in general) having a much simpler powertrain...

When you heat cold-rolled steel, you get various colors. Elon Musk says this is possible with the Tesla Cybertruck. The Tesla Cybertruck is unique in that it isn’t painted. Instead, it is just the color of stainless steel. Of course, people can choose to modify the Tesla however they want. More...

Simon-Kutcher & Partners points out what it believes to be “unused potential.” Most Tesla vehicles so far are presented with a killer entry-level price that is just for show. That’s the case for the Model 3 Standard Range, for example. We bet the Model Y will get into the same situation. Why...

If this is really the case, will Tesla ever be able to keep pace? How long will it take to fill orders? Tesla’s stock has been soaring once again, this time crossing the $1,000 share price threshold. This means analysts are dialing up the conversation even more these days. With the Tesla...

And he also gives six reasons why. If anyone has a hunch that Texas may be the state Tesla chooses for its Cybertruck factory, you’ll probably take that as just another opinion. What if a Morgan Stanley analyst says so? Adam Jonas works there, and he stated on May 4 that there are six...

It’s still just a concept, so expect more changes to the Tesla pickup truck as production draws near. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the Tesla truck, called the Cybertruck, will change to take on a more traditional truck-like appearance. The changes will be minor, but when added together, the...

This reminds us of the days of the Ford Model T. The Tesla Cybertruck will officially come in just one color – stainless steel. This reminds us of the days of the Ford Model T that was offered only in black. However, nowadays we have an easy option for changing car colors and it’s called... READ...

OPP Highway Safety Division on Twitter I highly highly doubt it will ever happen, but I thought it was cool nonetheless.

Please Elon, don't put the retractable door handles (like the Model S) on the CyberTruck! I've gone through 2 of them already on my S and, while they are cool, they are not all that practical and seem prone to breaking. I would be OK with the option to have the driver door self present without...
