I know, I was at an event this weekend with several friends who have RN112XXXXXXXX reservations and we were at Tyco Road checking out the CT they are getting VINS assigned. I am a RN113XXXXXXX reservation. Weird thing is we are all in the same industry and every exec I know has a CT reservation, and we didnt collaborate or discuss it prior.

What are you willing to pay? You'll get one before the end of the year if you're willing to pay $100k.

My guess is some people will get it for $80k this year but probably not everyone.

Here it is, opinion on why Tesla uses "single piece stamped steel FUCA" by Munro.
Starts at time 3:00 on the video.
Great info, thanks for this sharing
OP was banned awhile back but I’m sure he’d argue with this as well.

Why again are you still on the forum if you cancelled your order? Trying to save us from ourselves?
Because they saw other stamped panels/brackets on the inside of the vehicle? (But they aren't made from SS.)
OP: I mean, according to your twitter account, 50% of your posts are about hate for the truck. Like, if the truck isn't for you, then leave it at that? Why do you feel like you have such a personal vendetta that you have to give Tesla time out of your day to talk about what you dislike? If you don't like it, we get it, move on? Not every vehicle is for everyone. Not every vehicle can do everything. If others enjoy it, let them enjoy it. It's their money, if they want to waste it on an 'inferior' truck, let them...
Just a heads up OP has stopped posting on this after being widely discredited and has just quietly stopped posting about this aspect and has moved on to piling on to other articles that are negative. So I wouldn’t expect a response.

Hi, I am a mechanical engineer and I have designed double wishbone independent front suspension in OEM vehicles. The MacPherson strut is the other common street-car suspension design. To understand and evaluate suspension design you have to understand the dynamic forces and kinematic motions of the linkages. The OP obviously does not have experience in this area which is crucial if you are going to judge something as complex as vehicle suspension members. In general, the lower control arm (LCA) carries a lot of the forces (suspension, turning and braking forces) and is meant to be the main structural linkage. The upper control arm (UCA) is moreso used as a follower-linkage that doesnt have to support as much force as the LCA, hence why it is always much less "beefy" than the LCA. Because of linkage design, you can't simply compare one trucks UCA with another as the total linkage design is different between the two. I noticed that the CT spindle is very tall, this separates the distance between the UCA & LCA ball joints. Because this distance is much more spaced apart than on typical pickup trucks, it allows the UCA to be designed to support less forces. Engineers use extensive FEA models to understand the stress/strains that the component is subject to based on the weight of the vehicle and the geometry of the suspension. Then it is subjected to lab testing, manufacturing testing and real-world testing. Pretty idiotic for a troll online to look at it without any experience and say it is bad...although that is the world we live in these days.
The main downside that I saw about the spindle design is that it leaves no clearance for larger tires, or even tire chains without rubbing on the upper spindle ball joint hardware. Most truck owners like to put larger tires on, but I dont see that being an easy option on the CT. (Not that I personally think it needs larger tires)

Me personally I wouldn't go above a 35 12.50 tire. If I was going to be playing in the Mud I might go with a 37 inch tire. 35 are plenty tall enough for me. I want an all around Truck. Something that can act as a daily a tow vehicle a go have fun doing a bit of Off Roading and a road trip vehicle. For heavy duty off road I will go out and buy a beater and fix it up the way I want. Once the newness of the Cybertruck wears off I think quite a few of these will be for sale in a year.
