    I would say that Tesla needs to get the Cyber Truck out before HM releases their EV Hummer, the specs on the Hummer are insane and it's not bad looking either. GM says fall of 2021 for the 3 motor variant.

    GM's premium Hummer EV is going to be released fall of 2021 according to their website, and GM can actually make that date - unlike Tesla. If GM gets it out before Tesla, they will feel it.

    The semi needs a lot more work than the truck. Its got a lot more battery, charging infrastructure requirements are massively different. And last I read, it was delayed due to battery availability.

    The CT by comparison is just a different body shell with the standard powertrain they use on all their other vehicles. The only big difference is the frame/exterior.

    I think with all the recent buzz with massive battery breakthroughs, it will be a while before we get an update. Not to mention Elon won't release an update until the US changes the laws on side view cameras in lieu of mirrors.

    Then we’re all gonna be waiting a very long time.

    The CT will come with mirrors.

    Keep in mind also, the CT and Semi will both rely on the 4680 battery cells and will need cell production to reach a sustainable level before they can start shipping.

    In addition to Fremont limited production of 4680 cells, it sounds like Panasonic has also started development of 4680:

    There was also talk of LG Chem producing 4680 cells.

    For the US, manufacturers are required by law to ship cars with mirrors, however it is not illegal for owners to remove the mirrors. It’s not illegal to have no mirrors. Only that your supposed to have them when taking delivery.

    The real question is whether or not your insurance company would continue to insure your car (especially for liability) if you remove the mirrors.

    Once you take delivery and drive off, insurance companies have no knowledge of what you do to your car until you get into an accident. I can remove my mirrors on my my Model X and my insurance company would have no idea. They have no visible knowledge of what you vehicle looks like outside the VIN.

    It would probably void your car warranty, so proceed with caution.

    Retractable mirrors is my guess, you could adjust them outward for larger trailers.

    Exactly my point. Wouldn’t that give them an excuse to void the claim?

    Seems like other manufacturers are putting out more information - Ford with their F150 which is still over a year away (sounds like the cybertruck will be as late as them as well..) Rivian of course.. already testing on the roads all over the world and selling in Summer. I dont see a configurator even for the CT.

    From the new podcast with Rogan:
    Factory tours will be offered
    Pickup truck from factory option
    Adjusted size ~3% to fit in boring tunnel
    Need to determine a range for the initial model...somewhere over 300mi (so dual motor first?)
