I said the same thing when I saw one on the freeway the other day. The whole side was terribly wavy. This a byproduct of not having curves or ridges stamped into the panel to keep it looking straight. No thanks..

You are mistaken. That’s how you “change the game” and “innovate” :confused:

I'm still waiting for the gun nuts to figure out what it takes to penetrate the door skins, progressively increasing the firepower until it goes through. Then continue until they have through penetration on both sides.
Not a gun nut but there's plenty of choices out there for anyone looking. I sometimes question why civilians need all these choices. The normal road-rager will not have anything other than a 9mm.

Personally I like Out Of Spec’s videos, he has helped me learn a lot about EV’s and Rivian’s in particular
I wholeheartedly agree. Kyle has been a valuable resource for me personally. I have learned so much from him about EV's. We love our dear Opal (our R1T) but there are a lot of other good EV's out there that we are learning about. We have had Opal for almost a year. This our maiden voyage into EVing, and we want to learn about everything out there. Kyle has made us aware of many things that we would not have known otherwise.

Uh made it through uh about 3min video uh than got to the point uh nothing interesting to me uh skipped everything and uh sounded better. Give me that number sheets that’s all.
Except if you go to 31:28 you’ll see he actually got the new tonneau design as a repair and not a replace new parts on the old one to make it work. Kinda interesting

The tonneau cover that you can stand on, is pretty cool.

I’ve seen a couple wrapped here in SoCal, makes it much better, the flat wrap really helps hide the waves (or that one was in better shape to begin with).

Exactly. Not many crimes committed with Tommy guns these days.
When reading about the shooting tests, I'm really wondering if there is even one person that ordered Cybertruck just because of possibly being bulletproof. I mean isn't it easier to change the neighbourhood if you can afford a CT?

Of course you are right, but I would go farther to say the entire idea of needing a vehicle to be even bullet resistant because of “crime” or “the apocalypse” is just a paranoid fantasy. I think these people watch too much walking dead or something…

I don't need to watch any videos to know all I need to know about the CyberTuck. I'm starting to see one almost every day in LA. Yesterday I saw one wrapped in all black - looked even worse than stock. There is simply no way to make it look good. It looks like a prop from a bad 80s sci fi movie and it's aging poorly already.

He should drive it to my place and I can give it the reception he expected. I will even participate in a 5 hour livestream if necessary :cool:

It would require a lot of beer and water, but I’m willing to do it for the greater good. 🫡
