Tesla Cybertruck just revealed...$39,900!!!

That'd be an awesome wrap.

 

The announcement curbed any further Tacoma mods.

 

But can it do a tank turn?

Sounds like a feature of having dual rear motors. Which means the trimotor can most likely do it.

 

According to this article it's on the quad motor version for the Rivian

I predict Tesla will make an announcement in April and choose Texas or Tennessee for the Cybertruck assembly plant. With no paint shop or huge stamping machines the factory should be considerably smaller and take less time and money to build.

With 535,000 and counting Cybertruck reservations I think Tesla will be fast forwarding the production timeframe in order to cash in ASAP.

Badger or Cybertruck, I will have one or the other. Depending on specs and price.

 

Haven't really looked into it much, but the Badger uses hydrogen right ? Is that something that would need to be filled often?

 

Badger has both and a longer range.

 

Tesla has the longer term track record. They also employee former NASA engineers!

 

Toyota and BMW have thrown all their eggs into Hydrogen. I don’t buy it. I work in renewable energy and frankly I do not see a feasible future for Hydrogen. Generation and distribution just don’t make sense economically for consumer vehicles. Commercial, industrial and aviation could be a different story.

Personally, I think electric is only a matter of a couple years away from dominating the consumer vehicle market.

 

I agree. Once a big battery breakthrough is made it’s game over the ICE.

 

Didn't want to start a new thread since there already is one but just came across the expandable camper concept they are working on.

Retail price is estimated at US$69,500, but those who preorder now can get a discount of between $5,000 and $20,000

 

Does the cyber truck come with it?

 

More than 2 years ago revealed and no initial production in sight. At least Tesla is consistent!

 

I'd like to see the glass strength test again. Did they fix it?

 

Tesla Cybertruck update coming on 1/26 during the Q4 2021 earnings call. Elon himself will be sharing Tesla’s product road map.

 

Road map?

Elon should be showing the production model of the cyber truck.

 

He has, but not officially. Recent drone footage over the Fremont test track caught an alpha prototype undergoing testing in the wild. You can clearly see some visible changes from the concept truck.

No cutouts in the 3mm thick stainless steel skin for door handles/charging door flap/tailgate handle, charging door appears to be in the wheel arch moulding, street legal headlamps, a cyclops windshield wiper (won’t make production per Elon), side mirrors, 6-lug alloy wheels, revised rocker panels, the marble dash appears to be gone, a yoke steering wheel, curved windshield, etc.
