Cybertruck design conversations

Ah, yes, another youtuber who fails to understand basic stuff. No hitch is tested to 10x tongue weight.

If a vehicle splits in half that's probably about the safest way for it to.

The battery is entirely under the passenger compartment?
Exactly.

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.
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.
