I do like that the range extender need not complicate the manufacture of the CT. They don't even need to be made in the same factory or delivered with the vehicle. Fewer factory options is better for high volume production.

However, lower is also gooder... and that under-the-bed compartment is lower.
I'd guess it's just not big enough for the capacity they were targeting.
Has anybody seen where the extender connects into the truck?
I think it would be great if the range extender can be plugged into home power walls so that it can be used with the Virtual Power Plant program. Benefits the grid and helps defray the cost of the range extender which won't be used often. Whenever you do need it installed have the mobile service techs have the ability to do it. Book an appt to have it installed and if you need a quick appt within 24 hrs upcharge for the convenience.
I'd even gladly rent out my range extender if anyone needed it while I don't. Lots of use cases and opportunity with this versatile product.

Option: Start deliveries primarily near Fremont and Austin for quick engineering support and minimal shipping costs. Slowly expand to well serviced areas. Then country wide.
Fixed it ya, thanks. I only have PW 2 version. Hopefully it all integrates the same.
Plus extender as factory installed option pushes MSRP of dual over the $80k IRA limit...

These concerns seem easily addressed.
- The trailer (or its removable battery on a wheeled pod) could be used as backup power for the home when not on the road.
- Driving dynamics could be dealt with via Bluetooth or similar communication between tow vehicle and trailer.

Where can I plug in all my M12 or EGO batteries?
Some good news not related to the CT. US processing plant for nickel ore will get $115 million in federal funds to get it up and running is finalized.

Agreed, but the vertical distance in the bed (from the current centre of gravity) is much smaller than the horizontal distance from the centre of the vehicle if the pack was in the under-the-bed compartment. (I'm thinking about ice days).
oh yeah! This is one of the material companies I've invested in.

Well, sure, that is logical and a good strategy from a manufacturer's point of view.
But, this wouldn't change anything about delivery times, other than giving reservation-holders in those locations preference over others who may have placed an earlier reservation.
The staggering number of reservation holders will take every delivery offered for a few years, at least. In fact, I'm counting on it, as I don't want to take delivery on my reservation for at least a year or two and allow time for the chairs to become more valuable.
I bet Tesla refers to it as their nickel pumper. Still years to go to get mining started.

One of the reasons I latched onto this company a few years ago was reading this on their site (I've highlighted in yellow). I thought this was great to see and another notch taken off the excuse thread of "but mining for EV materials"...

Marques half-heartedly mentioned that the back window does not go down. This will be a real negative. A BIG negative if you planned to camp IN it. And a large percentage did.
THERE IS NO OVERNIGHT OR GLAMPING CONSIDERATION IN THE DESIGN. PERIOD. Every other Tesla is better for road trip camping than the cyber(Nota)truck. The tent option is pure HS. $3K for an unsecured awkward tent?... You might as well just get a great tent for less than $500. But you can do that kind of camping with any electric vehicle that has a 120 outlet.
Four years ago I signed up for a cyber NOTA truck because I envisioned it being a step forward into the Tesla camping aspect. It 's bed is called a damn BED!
And since the minimal amount of through space was expected to be a window that went down some of us were hoping for a brushed stainless camper shell to make the Cyber "livable." But at least the bed was going to get some AC. Now you can't even have your dogs in the bed with the window down. Not cool (pun intended)
Yes you could sleep on the back floorboard if you aren't 6ft. I am over 6ft.
And 2 people can't sleep on the floorboard.
After the Carmudgeon video I was psyched to get mine.
I never thought they would make the bed unliveable. They engineered/designed the bed to the least it can possibly be...a closet.
Love the electric improvements, love the steering. I WILL BE ABLE TO GET ALL OF THOSE IN THE NEXT Y. The BED was the big thing that the design and engineering teams had that was new.... and they put a dumb ss sliding tonneau cover on it. That looks stupid as well.and that tonneau cover delivers less and cost a boatload.
Now all the TSLA fanbois can give me a thumbs down for giving some REAL insight into the shortcoming of the cyber NOTA. You're blinded buy the fear of your stock dropping. If I had money in TSLA I'd be sad too.
A LOT of good things...but nothing that makes the cyber(NOTA)truck camp able except the clearance.
