I think there is a wheel well liner blocking the view of the suspension.

They didn’t do that in the front though. Hmm.

That may also be the load carrying side wall. Hard to tell if it is the same plane all the way across.

The front wheel needs to turn, the rear doesn't. So they can't block the space at the front well.

Tesla haters will try to key the truck. Curious how that’s gonna work out.

Does anyone know if a roof rack will be compatible with the Cybertruck?

To much info already in this thread.
How are first responders going to cope with the Cybertruck??
How do you get people out after an accident etc etc.
Bulletproof can be a hazard.

Some people on Twitter noticed some mounting points in one of the Motor Trend photos that could potentially be for roof racks: Walter MacVane on Twitter

All these questions will be answered in time. Don’t worry.

before the x was available to buy but after pre-orders were open, the general freakout was what happens if the truck flips over?! how can you get out?!?!

turns out... the people who build cars for a living already considered this scenario and everything was going to be fine.

likewise, im sure the company that said, on general safety concerns, it would never build a motorcycle can figure out how to make crumple zones in the cybrtrk.

its probably like this....

it is not about crumpelzones. How to open the doors after an accident or how tho smash the windows after an accident or if the car gets under water

Right. And what if someone dies in the Cybertruck and their ghost remains? Can ghost escape through Tesla panel gaps? And will the panel gaps on the Cybertruck even be big enough to serve as a ghost exit? We need more information here.........

Not really related, but reminds me of Joke told by Jeremy Clarkson:

Mercedes Engineer: We randomly select a car on the assembly line, put a cat in it and leave it there overnight. If the cat dies of suffocation by morning, we know the seals are good enough.

Jaguar Engineer: We randomly select a car on the assembly line, put a cat in it and leave it there overnight. If the cat doesn't escape by morning, we know the seals are good enough.

There's some joke in there that ends with........chicks dig Cybertrucks.......but I ain't touching that one.......

Driving my new Tesla CyberTruck thru Shelton Washington will indicate there is a new Sheriff in town

Exaggerate much? Goodness.

No

That's a great question and the answer is the same saw they use to cut apart a steel car.

I've been watching EV development for a long time, believe me I understand all the benefits of designing a ground-up EV around the battery pack in a skateboard style. It's EV 101. What goes on top of that skateboard however can be designed to look like pretty much anything; why does it have to look like a nine year old carved it with a chisel?

Can you tell me what benefits the peaked pyramid shape provides? Surely it can't be aerodynamics or car designers would have settled on that long ago. Don't tell me you think that Tesla is going to "drag the rest kicking and screaming" into designing polygon cars?

And there's been a lot of cars in history with steeply raked, flat windshields throughout history. Some of them are my favorite cars. That design might be fine for an exotic, maybe not so much for a vehicle which promises such utility. Remember GM's "dustbuster" vans? This thing takes that up to 11. It's radical, I'll give you that. I don't know what it would be like to actually live with.

We better start making some space in our lobby for 48-inch wiper blades.



Exactly.

The material, hard rolled stainless-the hardest you can make commercially cant be bent or pressed so you have angles. But you get rid of the paint line, the press and thus lose 1/2 of the factory and the two slowest parts of the assembly line.

The form is actually very aerodyamic (in one thread there are good models from someone that did the aero dynamic simulations.

The nose breaks up and the tail releases the airfoil very nicely. It is impressive.

The skeleton gives the strength needed to tow. Towing is a brutal experience on a truck chassis. The cybertruck frame absorbs that because it is this very thick hard stainless.

It is tough. Trucks are meant to be tough. You are not going to dent easily, nor scratch. I can back my skidsteer into it and not damage a door. That would be progress on my farm.

The specs speak for themselves. Ford and Rivian are going to be scratching heads saying how do I get from here to there.
