We have these for a different car and good quality , but tthe usual mirror function is then only working in 1 mode only, you do not have the possibility to flip the angle during evening and night, when the headlights of the cars are blinding you. The usual dual purpose of display (in our case we use the mirror as a display for the front camera) and mirror is working great, but the night position is missing. Have not seen one that offers both. Therefore those are only sold as aftermarket solutions at least here. Bought in 2023 so we got the most recent tech and not something outdated.

Remember Air it Treated like a Fluid it's why a Blunt Head is often more efficient than a Point think ICBM or Bullet. BTW the Cybertruck has a pretty flat area until the bonnet which is a waste they could make it a foot or two longer and shape lower part too slop up the front too be more Aerodynamic, Also I hate the Sloped Bed Sides sure it looks nice but makes it so much harder too side load via heavy Machinery as well as just Reach over and grab stuff out without having to walk around to the back and reach in for what's meant too be a Work Vehicle is Ludicrous! The Cybertruck ended up costing more than Promised was Late and Features Promised are missing or lacking! I like some of the tech like the 800 to 1,200V Technology which means less Wiring and Faster Charging!

Kyle, did you try closing the CT frunk two ways - with a quick touch of the button, - and then closing it with a longer holding down of the button? Our Tesla rep showed us that it’s like the Model X FWD. Both the CT and the X will come down forcefully with a long button press, like the X needs to do if the wind is strong. The rep shut the frunk with a short button push, then quickly put his hand in the gap - and the frunk lid touched his hand without hurting it. Should have gotten a video.

Mileage at 80-85 mph isn’t exactly typical driving to test range claims. Any vehicle with that kind of frontal area is going to have massive drag at those speeds. As for how the stainless steel lasts in the weather, it’s not like there aren’t a ton of sst tanks trucks on the road (milk, propane etc) or tanks at industrial/chemical plants. They don’t worry about bugs.

@thomasreese2816 2 ай бұрын

Mileage has always been calculated as a mix of city / highway driving, averaging at ~55 mph, even for gas cars. Acting like Tesla is lying for using the same standard is silly. Every car should have to list both a mixed + highway (75mph) rating

@BillLaBrie 2 ай бұрын

Don’t know where you live, but that’s cruising speed on most interstates in the western US.

@TexMex421 2 ай бұрын

Higher speeds reduce range for any vehicle. It would make a lot of sense for the EPA to give EVs a city / highway range vs the current single mixed range, but for now it's pretty simple, on Highway trips you'll generally get about 2/3 the predicted range. You'll recharge more often probably at about 40-50% of the range. So a 300 mile range EV will have 200 miles of highway range and you'll generally recharge every 120-150 miles. z On the other hand if you make videos for a living the "OMG my EV is not getting its predicted range!" is viral gold.

Alyssa is correct. Rarely will a person waste your time and theirs just to have the public awkwardness of telling you that what you own is ugly. But plenty of ppl want to see something unique and whether they love it or not, they'll generally give you positive feedback. It's the psychology of ppl to protect themselves from friction.

@joecoolioness6399 2 ай бұрын

That is why pointing and laughing is how I will react when I see this absurdity in public.

@darpompie4354 Ай бұрын

Completely agree. You got to be a big doosh bag to go out of your way and walk up to a stranger and tell them "Boy your truck is ugly". Most people will just puke inside a bit and move along. In contrast if you love it, it's always easy and nice to give out a compliment. In other words. They have no idea how many people hate the truck because the only people approaching them are the ones that like it. It's unique and new right now. Once it becomes normalized, those positive interactions will stop too. I can appreciate its look but it's definitely not for me. It's easy for me to state that here but I definitely wouldn't walk up to a cybertruck owner in person and tell them that. Unless they are my friend. Then all bets are off and I will laugh profusely every time I see them.

I was an early preorder for a R1T. I had it now over 1.5 years and 27000 miles and I can tell you that it didn’t let me down one bit. I am an early preorder on Cybertruck too but I can’t get myself to buy it just for the fact that it has drive by wire. I know that it’s safe and everything but I still feel that I am not in control. I sound like a claustrophobic person in a small elevator….I just can’t shake that feeling. My wife owns a 2019 model 3 with lots of misaligned body parts. Paint was not curated enough to the point that I could have my fingerprint etched on the paint permanently. R1T has an elegant fit and finish by comparison to the Cybertruck. That hard shell of stainless on the other hand ……it is something that we all dream of.

I think it’s reasonable to want direct connection on your steering and brakes. People bring up airplanes like that’s a good comparison.

The F-150 Lightning we bought came with an adapter to convert the 240v to NEMA-1450. We didn't have to add it as an option, and it wasn't listed as an option, so I think it was just included? And I think that's the right choice, as the outlet choice is based on what is most likely to be plugged into it, and using NEMA-1450 I think is a more niche use case. The adapter can even be helpful as the outlets on these trucks are recessed, and a lot of those 1450 charge cables will not be designed to work with a recessed outlet, meaning you won't be able to plug them in fully. But when using an adapter, having it be recessed is no longer an issue. Orientation could still maybe be an issue though, if the cord comes off the plug in a way where it collides excessively with the bed.

@@RedBud315 I agree but I'm thinking more like 30K. And battery disposal is going to be a big problem. Elon says "recyclable" like it's a magic word. But just because something is "recyclable" doesn't mean it's free to get rid of. I've taken tractor trailer loads of stuff like broken concrete, bricks, cinder blocks, torn up asphalt, etc to the places where they recycle it and they charge me by the ton to dump it. Lots of plastic is recyclable but they are paying to dump it in landfills, because it isn't profitable to recycle it.

I love that it's the two of you, having different perspectives is so valuable. For example, she did hear a bunch of people hating on the Cybertruck, and she pointed out why. I don't hate it clearly, I don't believe that it's design is a good engineering decision but if it sells like hotcakes it will be a marketing slamdunk. What we really need is doubling the battery capacity and upgrading the grid, then the gas cars /adventure trucks will be all electric to the future.

At one point it was actually going to be exoskeleton with 3mm thick sheets. The design made sense then. I think the current thickness of 1.8mm SS could be formed into shapes with large enough presses

I’m 21 minutes in and I can’t believe Tesla hasn’t tested this vehicle to iron out what seems like a few fundamental issues (spare tyre, headlamp and bumper colluding to keep it dirty, wiper washer dispenser and the phone charging facilities). I’m sure there’s going to be other issues, but after nearly five years, couldn’t these have been noticed by other testers employed for the purpose?

Fantastic work. I have CT Foundation on order but I also torn and wondering about the R1T. My concern is in 6mos the refreshed R1T will come out addressing your previous listed concerns and it will have heat pumps. Would you get an R1T now or wait? Clearly they need sales now but I think in a way the refresh will be better for them bc they may reduce R1 production costs and for the quad motor switch to 4 enduro motors vs the more expensive bosch? units they are currently using.
