Tesla Cybertruck
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
Giga Austin is close to production, starting with the Model Y. The Cybertruk will be built there pretty soon, in Elon time anyways. Like another 5 years.
After seeing the report about how that couple towing a Mustang GT500 on an open trailer with a Rivian R1T, I’ve solidified my position that its gunna be a while before I go electric. They were stopping every 100 miles to recharge. 20 stops over 2000 miles.
will never be built as shown first
That is the ugliest thing that I have ever seen. From an aesthetic standpoint, it makes the Pontiac Aztek and AMC Pacer look good. I would NEVER buy one, and the real truck buyers/owners that I know will never buy them. Ford has beaten them to market, and even though the market for EV trucks is going to be very small for the foreseeable future, IMO Ford is going to win this round of the EV truck sales battle.
Why on earth is the cab shaped like that?
All it’s doing is limiting interior space.
Obviously, for maximum interior space efficiency, you want boxy shape (Like most other crew cab pickups).

Roll over testing will be fine, low center of gravity due to battery location in floor. IIRC the Model S righted it self during a roll over test at the IIHS and the machine used to compress the roof pillar broke because the vehicles structure is very strong. In general crash test results are superior because they don't have to work around an engine block and all those variables, they can optimize the structure around collision protection. Now if they can get the quality issues inline and have more service centers, then I would consider buying one.
Autozone is not going to have those wiper blades in stock!
Maybe it’s two 28" blades on the long arm? Or does Elon sell Tesla exclusive $149 wiper blade?
That’s what it looks like to me in the pictures.
According to a Tesla offical, that’s not the production wiper blade. And there will be no color options, just the bare stainless steel.

Elon Musk: That Is Not The Tesla Cybertruck's Production Wiper Blade
Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has responded to a few comments posted after a new video surfaced with a Tesla Cybertruck prototype seen in the daylight.

Which means in California you won't be able to find your truck amidst the sea of other Cybertrucks in the parking lot...
In Russia, your truck finds you.
Better not break your windshield unless you can make arrangements for a new one to be airlifted in.
