    Musk Asks About A Texas Gigafactory: Is It For You, Cybertruck?

    The innovative electric pickup truck would be the perfect fit for the new plant. No company would leave the decision to open a factory to a Twitter poll. Anyway, Elon Musk decided to give his Twitter followers that feeling when he started one about a possible Tesla Gigafactory in Texas. You can...

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

    Tesla CEO said in the Q4 2019 earnings call the truck is better than people realize. Elon Musk was pretty excited about his company’s results in his talk to analysts. A lot is coming in the next two years, but it is no secret the Cybertruck is his favorite Tesla product ever. Despite the...

    Cybertruck Challenges Tesla Rivals Beyond Electrification

    “What about the glass? It seems like a vulnerability,” Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said during the Cybertruck debut. It’s a good question. Glass is vulnerable. For instance, if you throw a heavy steel ball at a truck window, it would probably shatter. “It’s transparent metal glass,” Musk...

    Cybertruck Firetruck - Can it help in Aussie Fires?

    For many years, Australia, as well as many other nations and states, have been struggling to fight fires with mobile ground assets. Most of the vehicles used are converted commercial trucks and pickups, that have limited off-road, or in particular poor sand driving ability in the bush. They also...

    Cybertruck Featured in Music Video

    A new music video from rapper Travis Scott would be a pretty good advertisement for Elon Musk companies.  While Scott is a Grammy-nominated musician and a regular in celebrity gossip publications, the star of his recent video was the Tesla Cybertruck. In addition to Tesla’s futuristic pickup...

    King of Lurkers, Servant of Posters

    Posting to introduce myself, I've been a fan of Tesla for a few years now. I purchased solar back before Tesla took over SolarCity, I've driven small cars all my life (currently a Fiat 500e), and I'm looking forward to the Model Y, but the Cybertruck has turned everything upside down.

    Tesla Cybertruck & Semi: Radical New Battery Design Anticipated

    Check out our fun speculation based on known quantities. Tesla has something up its sleeve and, as usual, it’s not telling anyone about it yet. We should get a better idea of what it is at the upcoming “Powertrain and Battery Day” that Tesla has planned for later this year. Tesla has given us...

    Elon: We can reduce the length 6+ inches

    Deadline on completing a reservation?

    Hey folks, If you you have a reservation for the Cybertruck, and then the model you reserved becomes available to configure / purchase, does anybody know if there is a deadline for how long you have to complete the purchase process? I.e. Does your reservation expire?

    Will Tesla build a clean gas generator specifically designed for the cybertruck?

    I am interested in the cyber truck. However, I hunt in remote parts of Oregon. No charging stations, nor any electric grid within 150miles of the area. If you spent a week or two in the woods that cyber truck would become a paper weight. I currently use a diesel truck and I carry 30 gallons of...

    5th Wheel Requirement

    I've seen a lot of talk about the Cybertruck being unable to work with 5th Wheel / Gooseneck trailers due to the sail pillars on the bed. I remember seeing a lorry years back that was using a rather odd little contraption between the tractor unit and the trailer. Some Google Fu tells me that...

    Cybertruck design/features

    There seems to be a lot of guesswork over the design and capabilities of the Cybertruck against what was actually stated, so I’ve created this list from the transcript of the presentation, along with any relevant tweets from Musk.

    A gold plated Cybrtrk is inevitable

    It didn’t take long before gold plated stainless steel DeLoreans or Apple Watches to appear. Now I’m not suggesting to go out and do this.. not at all. Just that history has shown it’s bound to happen.

    Poll- Res holders, would you have made the deposit if $1000?

    I would have done it even if $1k. I was looking to buy an all-wheel drive family vehicle and decided on the Cybertruck because it's way out there and I'm ready for a change in the way how cars and trucks look.

    Battery pack upgrades? [POLL]

    Hey everyone! I was just thinking: how many people who reserved a lower trim (I got the RWD for my wife, she doesn't want more power) would do an in-car upgrade to pay for more range? Kind of like how the other models ship out with bigger batteries and let you upgrade depending what you bought...

    Tesla Takes Tug-of-War With Ford to Twitter

    Tesla showed a video during the Cybertruck unveiling event of the all electric pickup dragging a Ford F-150 in a tug-of-war. Ford has called the video absurd. Some challenged the fairness of the video. In fact, scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson chimed in with a suggestion, saying it...

    Model Y or Cybertruck?

    Hey everyone! Ever since the truck reveal, my wife and I have been tossing around the idea of getting the truck and cancelling our Y reservation (for her!). We both like the design but even more importantly the crazy utility if this thing! What about you? A lot of people have mixed opinions on...

    The REAL Cybertruck wheels

    Hey everyone! I was watching Elon's video about them testing the glass before the event (Elon Musk on Twitter) and something caught my eye. The wheels on the truck are completely different than those in the reveal! My theory: the reveal wheels are just covers and you can remove them to uncover...

    If Tesla can win 10% of the pickup market, they'll earn $20 billion per year

    The US pickup truck market is about 3 million trucks per year. With an average selling price of $65-70K, the Cybertruck could do more revenue than the Model 3 with only a 10% market share. And as the video explains, there are only 3 main truck competitors in America.

    A death trap? Thoughts on extraction in an accident?

    Love that this is a tank that can't be penetrated by a 9mm, except I guess you can throw a rock and break the window! But assuming they fix that, one key important aspect of a car is that the fire department can saw it open to extract the passengers. Is this just a death trap?

    Tesla ATV as an add-on!

    They have to offer the ATV as an optional add-on by the time this hits production. Regardless of the looks (which have grown on me), how sweet would it be picking up this tank with an ATV sitting in the back!?
