Cybertruck in the Wild

Does this imply that the prototype is street legal?

hard to believe. But the sooner we see more of them in wild the better.

In Hawthorne the police are likely going to turn a blind eye to minor traffic ticket when driven by the city's largest employer.

On Thingverse there are 3D files you can print out too.. FYI... example.

I don't know much about 3D printing. A printed version of this is only about an inch long? Or can you specify what size for the printer to make it? I was thinking about hiring someone to print a few of these out for Christmas presents, but if they are only 28mm long it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Maybe 28mm refers to something other than the printed size?

You guys that think that's big should hop up in my f350, you have to use a step.

It might take a while but definitely true. I has seen several Model Ys driving around the Bay Area. Saw one at Starbucks on Peninsula a couple of weeks ago.

Usually, the software will allow you to scale the object. As long your printer can print that particular size, otherwise, you'll have to cut it into pieces and glue/join it together.

they can be sized up to the build-up size of the printer plate. Also if you do a search in Thingverse there are a few more versions.

It’s easy enough to just linearly scale a model to whatever size is needed. Pretty much any 3D printing software can do that.

Any idea what a 3D printing service would charge to printout a 10” version of this? A ballpark figure.

I think the best deal is usually just looking on Thingiverse. They have a service that’s basically like Uber but for 3D printing, where people set their own prices. I’ve had success finding good prices and quality there. The other commercial 3D printing services are usually super expensive.
