Apparently either some or all of the ones delivered already were these.

I can't recall but Elon is being quoted that the CT/911 drag race was a 1/4 mile. The question needs to be raised. Elon, do you have no sense of decency sir?
Tesla Cybertruck’s Race Against A Porsche 911 Was Apparently An 1/8-Mile Run
Tesla raced its brand-new Cybertruck against a Porsche 911 while towing an identical 911 and won. However, it doesn't appear to be over a quarter mile at all.
He very carefully never says "quarter" before the video. The race video is clearly to the 1/8 mi (first set of markers). The 1/8 video plays. On the screen says "1/4 mile time <11s". He then says "It can tow a Porsche 911 across a quarter mile faster than a Porsche 911 can go by itself".I can't recall but Elon is being quoted that the CT/911 drag race was a 1/4 mile.

Gotta love it. Details matter right? Just shows that the videos were click bait for the fanboys to continue to promote the brand regardless of whether the details actually pan out to be true. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
The Charlatan behind the curtain; geeeezzzzzzGotta love it. Details matter right? Just shows that the videos were click bait for the fanboys to continue to promote the brand regardless of whether the details actually pan out to be true. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
And that, sir, would be a rhetorical question!I can't recall but Elon is being quoted that the CT/911 drag race was a 1/4 mile. The question needs to be raised. Elon, do you have no sense of decency sir?

I knew, here are other subsonic rifle cartridges:
This truck is bullet resistent as long as folks use purposely underpowered low velocity rounds which are also very $$$ (compared to standard ammo)….
The thing is, even at subsonic speeds, I wouldn't trust a .300 AAC at 220gr to not penetrate... Twice the mass (and energy) of the 9mm 115gr they were shooting in a 20% skinnier bullet. That's why the supersonic/subsonic thing isn't really the definitive feature.
that's why putting that into a demonstration video and having the CEO making bold statements at delivery event was incredibly irresponsible. My guess is that if you park your Cybertruck in a bad part of town - it will look like one of those country street signs in rural areas....
I agree, they showed stuff that won’t be available for months If not years.
...or ever... Range Extender? When? Vehicle to Home - What and when? All Vaporware to prop up a delivery truck that was not "within spec" to what the Great Charlatan has been espousing for four years now.
The Ford Lightning. More capable, speed is a wash vs the Dual Motor CT, and the Ford will handle better off road.
I expected the top of the line to be $100k (I am on record saying that here on TMC for years now) but I did expect it to have 500 miles of range for that price. Instead Tesla both cranked the price and sunk the range. The absolute worst of all worlds.
The Ford Lightning as massaging seats.
You are wrong. The range between the Lightning and CT are very close (320 vs 340 and the CT will never get 340 in the real world while the Ford gets much closer to its rated range) and the battery size is very close (126kWh for the CT and 131kWh for the Ford). So where is this huge aerodynamic penalty for the large frunk?
To be fair the video does include the muzzle velocity in the video. Supersonic is ~1,200fps (depending on altitude, etc). My point being any suit will be thrown out because Tesla only demonstrated subsonic rounds and they showed that in the video. Ignorance of how firearms work is no defense.
Agree with everything except the Ignorance of firearms. Elon has said maybe 20 times that it will "stop pretty much any hand gun". He's also said it's bullet proof to a 9mm round. He didn't qualify the subsonic or fps.
What a CEO says or writes, should carry a lot of weight and accountability. With Elon, that doesn't seem to apply, as he is "above all of that," in the eyes of many.... and is never held accountable (yet)....
