Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?
- Thread starter T3SLAROD
- Start date
I'm sure there will be a disclaimer exempting abuse. 3mm is essentially plate steel (slightly less than 1/8th inch thick). That's thick enough to butt-weld, but not thick enough to withstand direct (solid metal) hammer blows. You'd have to be pretty deliberate to dent that against someone else's door.

I HATE the fact that this is true!
But in this case, isn't it the fault of the random inconsiderate a-hole?

I’m a big advocate of “under promise, over deliver”. Elon over promises and under delivers - constantly, usually to sucker people into giving him zero interest loans to fund his incomplete work. Sadly CT fits that profile. Roadster 2.0 definitely does.

Roadster 1.0 did too as Gavin needled Elon about during the Engineering HQ announcement. But so far he has always delivered, just did it on Elon Time
I'm curious, which major automaker do you feel under promises and over delivers?
I spent many years working in automotive (like in a corporate setting; not some dealership)... and the name of the game in automotive for decades was to over promise and under deliver. The promise and aspirational nature puffed up by the marketing/sales folks rarely manifest in the finished product.
Here's what the automakers would tease.
And this is what you got at home.

Smaller than a full-size truck would persuade a lot of people from buying CT.
5 seater or 6 seater can be easily added as an option but not the overall size.
I tweeted with greggertruck, and it's a possibility that the employee didn't have all their facts straight (especially since the 6-seat feature is still listed on the CT order page), but it's definitely a big unknown now.

Only detail that was new from the show is that it has a rear seat screen like the S/X and a front bumper cam.
I guess looking at the tailgate it's obvious that it won't include a ramp for your electroquad, not sure any other details are anything but speculation. Even the wiper was on the driver's edge of the windshield in the beta, but in the slide deck they presented the wiper was in the center of the windshield

I'm debating whether or not to help you get past the Turing test ... ... oh why the heck not!
If you scroll down from the cybertruck page (Cybertruck), mid-way through, you'll reach the section labeled "versatile utility", the 5th slide out of 6 has this for "flexible interior":
Seat six comfortably with additional storage under the second-row seats. Complete with an advanced 17” touchscreen with an all-new customized user interface.

Well now that’s just crazy. I swear to you all that rendering that page on my iPad gave me just the first pic and then an ApplePay button. I refreshed the page a few times but no change. But today I get the full display. Hopefully I provided a little comic relief.
When you make blanket statements like this, are you using hyperbole or do you REALLY think that you speak for everyone?
I have owned many Trucks from regular cabs to extended cabs and crew cabs. Also riding as a passenger in many Trucks I did not own. Riding Bitch in the middle seat sucks for anyone sitting there and not much fun for the passengers on either side of them. This is a picture of three people sitting in the front of an F250. Three people in the rear seat will have a bit more room but not much more. Is the cab of the Cyber Truck wider than an F 250?
