The point is that all the folks who swore it was a deathtrap and couldn't possibly have working crumple zones were off a bit.

So we finally see rest of the internal Tesla crash test video from 2023. What's funny is how many people swore that those were not real.

No software update for that. I wonder what it will be. Adhesive contamination? Poor choice? Hope we do find out.

If a vehicle splits in half that's probably about the safest way for it to.
The battery is entirely under the passenger compartment?

And yes. That way both the battery and passengers take advantage of the crazy tough side impact designs.

Is it excess inventory or the effect of the containment hold while they nail down that trim piece? That isn't glued right? I honestly don't know. But an 80k a pop that's only 250 trucks.Pretty fast decline from waiting list to excess inventory.

Thought I had read they got the trim fixed on new vehicles and they were moving onto already delivered ones now.

So the production line has the new stuff and they're working on customer vehicles, but there's the entire distribution chain full that needs to be repaired as well. And it makes sense to me to prioritize customer vehicles and keep that Goodwill and keep your freshly delivered ones off the truck on stop sale until you have slack time to fix those. Over an entire nation, 250 vehicle seems like a reasonable amount to be in that condition. Again, this is why I am not a fan of Fred Lambert. This sort of stuff can be figured out pretty quickly. . Took me about 5 minutes.

Cyber truck boat mode from a different viewpoint out on the water. One thing that's deceptive is with the wheels in extract mode, that gives you 17 in of ground clearance between the body and the ground they sit considerably lower from the body than you would expect so he's probably got traction the whole time even if it's only a little.

Looks like the nonissue tow hitch has been changed for no reason at all.

Sure about that? Or did they just update the description of what is already there? Matter of fact, since Class III only goes to 10K, the CT had to come with a Class IV right from the start. Looks like this is just reassuring folks after the hit jobs performed by bozos.
I'll note that we have not one verified case of a hitch failing in normal service.

Only two places to "fix" it in the Los Angeles area, pretty sure Southern Maryland would be a little tougher.
Our Tesla Cybertruck Test Ended With a $58,000 Repair Bill
We planned to test a Tesla Cybertruck for a year and 20,000 miles. But a crash led to a massive repair bill, causing us to offload our Cybertruck several months ahead of schedule.

Only Tesla owned is Owings Mills. I recall that when aluminum body panels came into usage, people faced the same problem.Only two places to "fix" it in the Los Angeles area, pretty sure Southern Maryland would be a little tougher.

Sadly I wouldn't own an aluminum truck either.
Difference is there were enough that the world adapted.
I don't see the cyber truck lasting, people are over it, it was just a look at me vehicle that they got tired of quickly.

We'll see, I think if they can bring the price down enough and keep the content high enough it might last. Might not. The battery production process is the key.
