  1. Did anyone notice that the original cybertruck tease was different from the actual truck?

    The CT teaser was actually spot on! They are both triangular, sharp edged, and totally different than any other truck's design. Elon had prepared the world for months and we didn't even know it? Yet people still expected a Tesyota CyberTundra??
  2. Cybertruck Interior: Tough or Fancy?

    Is there an option for I want my monocle to match my CT? ? I personally love making a statement with something different and unique!! The grotesque nature of the CT brings me so much pride, and I would use it a lot for hauling, towing, etc. So bring me function over fancy, baby!! But the seats...
  3. Malls

    Tesla! It's always Tesla! *crossing fingers* I just drove by a hugely popular mall recently to see how it's doing, and I found it was actually closed down! Boards on windows all around, no trespassing tape, etc. What once was a thriving industry with HUGE real estate footprints is now becoming...
  4. Autonomous Electric Trucks Could Disrupt Rail and Transform Logistics

    Welp, I guess it's time for me to start reading those coding books! Java for Juniors, Python for Purists, and C+ for Coders.
  5. Hope this doesn’t happen with the CyberTruck

    Exactly! Tesla service is much better than people think, thanks to media spitting in Tesla's eye about issues years ago. Also, keep in mind that unlike any other manufacturer who makes a TON of money on service, Tesla's chief engineer said on the 2020 Q4 earnings call that their goal is to...
  6. What steering wheel would you like to see?

    I don't want any steering wheel! #FSDawwyeeeah I I have to have one, I really love the M3 wheel.
  7. Hope this doesn’t happen with the CyberTruck

    I'd like to chime in on the early roll out cars. I had two M3's, both early 2018's and sub 20k VINs. The first one was great, but we got rid of it because it was black and we found a great deal on a red one with 20's. Mmmmm! Anyway, I digress. They are both great cars, very reliable, have had...
  8. Die cast model ?

    I'm sure you all know by now, but Elon said in the Q4 2020 earnings call that the CT design is finalized! The only things holding them back are the world's largest (yet again the title goes to Tesla for it, MY was 6000lbs) die casting machine (8000lbs!), and battery limitations. He even said...
  9. Robo Taxi Thoughts?

    Lots of good discussion! I'm a big fan of the RT network and the possibilities for me. That being said, I do love looking at the other side of the coin too (potential issues, pitfalls, etc). Here's what I've gathered so far: Elon said in the 2020 Q4 earnings call that 2021 is the year of...
  10. Tesla is like In-N-Out

    I for one am excited for the secret 4x4 mode on my RWD CT, then!! (In-N-Out 4x4 burger, mmmm 5000 calories...)
  11. Permanent stealth mode from police radar / laser?

    I'm not a laser scientist and have no idea to pretend what I'm saying, but the front bumper is flat (only angled on the sides) and I'd imagine that it would reflect back, happy as a clam, to the laser gun. Although, I do love the idea of a radar-proof CT!!! ? That adds to the futuristic feel...
  12. Future battery swaps

    @rr6013 To add to Crissa's comment, you are allowed to repair the battery yourself, no matter how difficult or easy it may be. It's not illegal, Tesla nor the government will show up at your doorstep. However! Tesla has made it very clear their standpoint on repairs made to the EV power train...
  13. Future battery swaps

    Glad to hear your thought process!! To validate your SC cost concerns, it only costs me about $10-$13 to supercharge from 20-85% on my LR RWD M3 (~211mi gained) depending how hot or cold it is outside (30-120F). This is all on the normal 120kwh superchargers. Imagine the new 250kwh ones, AND...
  14. Has Schedule of CT production slipped and by how much?

    One thing to keep in mind is that the CT is the most anticipated and pre-ordered vehicle in history! It currently has over 1.4 million estimated preorders and growing every day. Fear not, delays may happen but Elon and crew are making sure they meet this demand ASAP! This isn't one of the back...
  15. NOT A GOOD WAY TO START THE YEAR! 7K-10k?? (with no changes)

    Can we pleeeeease get a sticky thread telling people the truths about the FSD price lock and to stop panicking? These threads are getting old...
