Case for the 800 mile Cybertruck

[cvalue13]

Another thought here. Tesla Semi. Goes 300 miles pulling 40 tons. Pricing is in the ballpark of what an 800 mile Cybertruck would look like regardless.

As a bonus, you might even get it sooner.

looking around at competitor BEV Semis, I’m finding it hard to pin down what I’m missing in Tesla’s purported pricing.

it seems like the competitor offerings are like $300-$600K !?

If you don’t have a Tesla Semi order in already, it’s unlikely you will get the old pricing from Tesla’s site.

That said, a huge percentage of the cost of the vehicle is going to be those 4680 batteries. If Tesla is making them in house with the savings they talked about, that will account for the price difference right there.

People tend to ignore the huge cost savings Tesla is getting with the 4680 cells. It’s pretty game changing.

Electric bikes also don't care about being dumped as much, either. The only fluid is the brakes, and those aren't supposed to leak anyhow, so... you can be much more rough with the electric.

RE: Getting dumped.

Um.... Unless I'm going around pushing over other people's bikes, the main issue in getting my bike dumped has more to do with the rider than the bike itself. The bike may only have brake fluid, but I've got blood to keep in place. Not sure I want to be "more rough" with my bike.

Hah.

Yes, but if you drop it, it's less likely to be damaged. Just keep yourself safe. The bike will be fine ^-^

All these posts talking about dropping electric bikes.

In the mountain biking world there is a phrase: If you aren’t crashing, you aren’t riding hard enough.

It's a little different when your bike weighs twice what you do. But yeah.

So as a one legged rider I must be going flat out then? Even if it os mostly in circles?

Seriously though some bikers have no balance, others no stamina, and others are just bat* crazy. Motorbike riders just do it all a bit faster but don't always need the stamina.

If you ride motorcycles on trails, you need stamina. Lots of body english to get it done.

Some motocross guys just do little circles at the OHV park, but riding moto for more than short bursts is very tiring.

Yeah, your limbs are all active as another piece of suspension while your core muscles need to be activated to create balance.

It's not very aerobic, but it does create alot of heat and wear on your muscles. Very easy to get get sore.

Was reading somewhere some of the best motocross riders train on mountain bikes because it’s a better/ less abusive workout. The top level guys need to be fit as hell but unlike cycling, the best training is off the motorcycle.

Yeah, I keep meaning to get my bicycle brakes fixed so they match my motorcycle.

A buddy of mine has moto brakes, hasn’t ridden moto in over 20 years but he still uses moto style brakes.

He’s a lefty so maybe just overall confused though.

I always forget, so it's just one more thing that slows me down on the bicycle.

Not sure I’m following. It’s been a while, but motorbike has left hand clutch, right hand front brake, right foot rear brake.
My mountain bike is left hand front brake, right hand rear brake.

Ohhhh. Now I see….

Guessing electric motorbike is left hand rear brake, right hand front brake?

You go faster if you don’t use them anyhow.
