    Cybertruck pics & videos from the Petersen Automotive Museum [Dates Extended Until July 5]

    While the aero hubs on my M3 looked a lot better in person, and I actually got a lot of compliments on them, I eventually took them off and now rock the dark grey alloy wheels that are underneath. I think the CT aero hubs may have a similar effect. Unique and better in person. That said, I...

    Cybertruck pics & videos from the Petersen Automotive Museum [Dates Extended Until July 5]

    I believe the wheel "sound protection" is actually just some makeshift cladding to keep the suspension components hidden from the public. Admittedly it did look bad. The rest of panel gaps I will chalk up to being a working prototype. They are probably removing and reattaching many of those...

    Not measured from the display, but from Motortrend's time with the original prototype which I don't think has changed much if any. The wheelbase is 149.9 inches long or roughly 3.8 meters. https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-rivian-r1t-compared-data-specs/

    Cybertruck will make public debut at Petersen Auto Museum in LA beginning From June 20-27!

    Sounds like a fun road trip. Better yet, rent a Model 3 to really make it a special experience.

    Interior Side View Camera Screen Spotted?!

    Good eye. It definitely looks a bit conspicuous to me. Could very well be the case, although I am not exactly sure why they would bother to cover it up. We all know they will need screens somewhere if they get approval to remove traditional side mirrors. I kind of hope that they don't try to...

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    Yeah. If only I could figure out a way to get my work to install a destination charger, then I really would be making bank. Unfortunately at the moment it isn't an option.

    Poll: Are You Replacing an ICE Truck With Your Cybertruck?

    I loved the old Brat. I even think the Baja had its own little useful niche. Of course I spent much of my youth in the back of pick ups either going to get ice cream in the back of my Uncles Ram or speeding up fire roads to many a mountain party. I often joke about my parents letting me roll...

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    I still need to watch that particular "Now you know" video, but I guess I don't really understand how you can make much money with V2G. I get that I can charge at night with cheaper electric rates, but unlike a static power wall battery, my CT is going to be driving or at my work during the day...

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    Thanks for that. I did think I had that info back in the brain vault somewhere. That is awesome that it comes standard. It is pretty common place across the industry now. Don't get me wrong. I like FSD and Tesla's system is light years ahead of anyone else. I just don't use it that much...

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    I actually don't know about that. Compared to other auto makers, Tesla doesn't do all that many options. For CT, the biggest "option" is the cyber quad. I believe Elon said that the only way to get the quad was as an option to the CT. That could easily be $20K just for that. Obviously FSD...

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    Thanks for the thorough response. Honestly, it is more about justifying it to myself. Do I need tri motor tow capacity and speed. Dual Motor's 10k lbs and 4.5 seconds (sure to be a little faster from Tesla's track record) seems more than sufficient. The 500 mile range on the other hand is...

    Thanks. Now I just need to convince my beautiful, supportive wife why any truck NEEDS to go 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds. Any helpful pointers on that front :D?

    Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line

    I ordered shortly after the end of the event. Position 14,646 for the Dual Motor Trim 8.91 Est delivery month. I am a little unsure how to read this. Does this mean 8 months and 21 days (.91 x 31 days) after production start? That would be a little disappointing, but being on the East coast...

    Poll: Are You Replacing an ICE Truck With Your Cybertruck?

    I will be directly replacing my '06 F250. The harder question is can the CT also replace my family's 7 seat Subaru Ascent as the long distance road tripper for a family of 4 +dog, as well as the in and around vehicle when I need to squeeze 6 or 7 adults/kids short distances? I definitely think...
