Tesla: "First Cybertruck Built at Giga Texas! ?"

[Count Orlok]

Pretty funny trash talking a truck on second truck's site because the first truck can't do things that the second truck can't do either.

how many reservations for the CT do you have?

You do know the Cybertruck is not alive, right? You can’t “trash talk” an inanimate object. It does not have feelings that can be hurt. Unless you represent Cybertruck in human form??

OMFG, fanbois are going nuts over the data it will have 4 doors, be 228 inches long, and have a 6 foot bed.

If they ever discuss the snowplow prowess you'll be right there with them.

The first one off the line and the front and back doors don't line up.
The panel gaps at the front bump (corner and above) could fit a deck of cards.
What else are they hiding with all those people.

It seems like they forgot the most basic step in car design.
What is a truck and how do they plan on using it?

You might be able to attach a plow, but it will rust like crazy with the salt on the roads. Stainless does rust in salty/snowy regions.
The blind spots at the A-pillar are massive and trying to see that front corner when you turn, park and go through drive through is going to be comical.

How do you add a tent, ladder rack, bike rack, reach into the bed, keep those sharp angles on the tailgate from warping, see out the front when it rains (and the wiper only covers 60% of the WS)...

Self tapping sheet metal screws?

This vehicle is engineered not designed. Form follows function. it will be the most capable electric truck on the market. Specs-wise and price-wise it will be no contest. Best battery tech, best efficiency, best software, charge at all 22,000 SCs not just 12,000, won't corrode or rust, etc.

However, if you buy a truck for looks, then I can understand the hard no. Many in this forum laugh and disparage the vehicle but watch how many they sell.

Your point about 22K Superchargers/SCs vs 12K is a valid one. I recently did a 5300 mile road trip and I used quite a few V1 SCs (150 kW). Worked great and fast if I was the only one on the #A|#B pairing.

UPDATE: FYI, on the downside of the CCS1 adapter is that it is supposed to work with v3+ SCs. There are a fair number of V2- SCs. GIF below I made a few weeks back.

Curious why you think more range with smaller battery? The guesstimates I have seen are 415 watts per mile or 2.4 miles per kW for the Cybertruck which is pretty much what the other trucks are doing.

Several aspects of the Cybertruck deal with aerodynamics.

The below is about how far the 'sails' are angled in (and I thought was a surprising nugget) but the whole video is good on the front and rear air pressures.
