Launch is Imminent

Tesla has submitted 2024 VINs to NHTSA, including the Dual and Tri Motor Cybertrucks and their GVWR:

I don't think we can figure the exact curb weights from these, however, since we don't know the payload capacities.

Not the exact but close enough

So if the payload is still 3,500 then the max curb weight is 5,500 for one and 6,500 for the other. Of course, we don't know the payload yet so just a guess still.

Also, assuming the Class G is the dual motor and Class H is the tri-motor, the weight difference between the 2 may only be a few hundred pounds...implying that the class G would have a GVWR of just under 9,000 with the tri motor just over 9,000.

• Class G - Greater than 3629 kg. to 4082 kg. (8,001-
9,000 Ibs.) • Class H - Greater than 4082 kg. to 4536 kg. (9,001-
10,000 Ibs.)

It’s A Heavy bastard

Class G is in line with the Rivian R1T: Rivian R1T's Gross Vehicle Weight Makes It A Heavy-Duty Truck

I think you might be confusing GVW with curb weight?

Well well well

Yep, under the >10k limit, just like I expected

Yes you are correct , I apologize

• Compare to:
  • Model X - Plaid - 6,7868 pounds GVWR
  • Model S - Plaid - 5,596 pounds GVWR
  • Model Y - Long Range - 5,302 pounds GVWR
  • R1T - 8,532 pounds GVWR
  • Lightning - 8,250lbs-8,550 pounds GVWR
  • Hummer EV - 10,550 pounds GVWR

Target practice, or just an effect for free advertising?

Please explain how you came to the conclusion that it’s a heavy bastard? Not sure how you can draw any conclusion without knowing payload.

Read two post above, it was my mistake

Target Practice.

Im not sure what Tesla is thinking. Wow

I'm sure they were thinking for $10 worth of ammo we can get $1M worth of publicity.

I'm sure they were thinking for $10 worth of ammo we can get $1M worth of publicity.

And possible lawsuits from getting shot at.....smh.....

I can see the YT videos now

"We emptied the entire drum magazine of a Tommy gun into the driver door Al Capone style. No bullets penetrated into the passenger compartment."

if that's the main purposely hyped/ leaked vehicle selling point now - but it's dead quiet about range and price - oh well...

I didn't even think about that. This. must be one of the main selling points, since there really isn't anything it offers over the competition.

The "bulletproof" is pointless, especially when all it does is make you a target to get shot.

Where is the range and price.......

 

[Buckminster]

Tommy gun = .45?
.45>9mm?

 

[mongo]

9mm has higher velocity
.45 has more energy and larger diameter, plus Billy Dee

 

[ThomasD]

If Tesla says the Truck is Bullet Proof what is the Ballistic rating? Most vehicles can be armored to withstand various levels of attacks. In the United States, the National Institute of Justice rates a vehicle’s level of protection in 8 categories known as Class I, IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV, V and VI. In Europe, the vehicles normally get ratings that fall into levels B1 through B7. Or is Tesla opening themselves up to Lawsuits when a Bullet goes through the vehicle.

.45 ACP isn't great at penetrating steel though. ~5mm will stop it... noticeably less if it's a hollow point round. however- panel thickness that size in a vehicle is nuts regarding weight
