I'm guessing $6,000. Lawdy.

- Thread starter E365
- Start date
400.00 wiper blade replacement 48"
Probably one of the only "maintenance items" though haha
I hate it when that happens... Model 3 is the new Corolla around here.
Some competition coming around the pike. A new electric Toyota Tacoma.

This Could Be the All-Electric Pickup Truck Toyota Promised Is Coming
It's called the Pickup EV, and its a concept version of the new truck.
Production-Ready Looking Tesla Cybertruck Beta Breaks Cover
It looks slightly different to the last prototypes we saw and it’s undeniably closer to the final production look.

Gee, they ruined the looks with the side view mirrors...
Thank Uncle Sam
Somebody did an aerodynamic analysis and this thing actually tests very well if the bed is covered.
No matter how much they screw up, as long as the tires are chosen properly you are talking under a 0.24 wind drag, theoretical minimum is 0.14 if they do everything correct (mirrors chosen wouldn’t work)
So even at the conservative end this should travel 50% further (highway) on a kwhr of juice than any of the competitors
Range is what sells BEVs, no matter how ugly it is if it goes 2-3x further on a charge and the price isn’t atrocious
guess what will sell?

This guy's modelling contradicts some of the earlier posits that it was "insanely aerodynamic", worth the read:

I am not going to share my negative opinion on visual aspects of design of this vehicle (although I could be very verbose) but there are some technical issues I need to clarify. There are statements in style of "Tesla Cybertruck could be insanely aerodynamic" or "Tesla's Cybertruck Aerodynamics...

You are quite welcome.
Thought you might be interested in this striking display of shape vs. cross-sectional area w.r.t. aerodynamic drag:
I guess an electric truck shaped like a zeppelin would be a bit of a bridge too far, even for Mr Musk.

Very nice! Thank you for the share!
You're very welcome - we toured the Zeppelin museum in Friedrichshafen in Germany a few years ago, and it was a real highlight for me. I find stuff like this fascinating.

As do I, would love to do that tour. My wife and I will eventually be making the trip to Germany for vacation so I'll put that on the list
I have I’ll send that to the resident aerodynamic expert and see if he agrees or disagrees with the numbers presentedThis guy's modelling contradicts some of the earlier posits that it was "insanely aerodynamic", worth the read:

His original analysis agreed with the above but his second update from a month ago changed its tune significantly

OK, so buddy needs to run the updated version, with mirrors and wiper, as well as the different panels, through the same software.
The opinion comments I didn’t copy basically said that he didn’t put much credence into the proficiency of that particular software, among other things

And what software is he using to make the calculations?
I mean, I guess we could just wait to see what the official figures are, if they get announced, but so far, this seems to be a subject where the numbers have been all over the place.
