Cyberbeast even loses a bit in range and payload due to the larger wheels and tires.

FYI, the chart contains future-ware prices for the CT. Current prices of models of CyberTruck you can buy today are: CyberTruck Cyberbeast Foundation Series: $119,990 CyberTruck All Wheel Drive Foundation Series: $99,990

Keep in mind that while the chart is specifically an "Off Road Comparison", 95% of people never drive their trucks "off road". Most people indeed just need to get from A to B on smoothly paved roads 99.9% of the time. In regards to "Occupant safety and emergency avoidance ability", the stats...

Seems like a scam that the Tesla "savings" price calculator doesn't offset the fuel savings with the increased tire costs. Tesla knows these things eat tires. They should at least acknowledge that if they are going to pretend to offer an estimated total cost of ownership comparison...

On the topic of oil, the key realization is that US oil companies are making record profits on a commodity. They should be competing on price for very slim margins, but something is allowing them to raise prices. Meanwhile, they are pumping more than ever before, and the U.S. is actually...

Much of what you are saying was already true over 2 years ago. When I bought my F150 Lightning, it was priced slightly lower than a similar equipped ICE F150, not even counting the Federal tax incentive. Its a better truck and it costs less to operate. It was a no brainer to buy it. Contrary...

Other truck companies sell towing mirror options for good reasons. Also, having a rear window that you can see out of would be helpful. Did you try with bed cover open and looking out back window? One trick I have used is to have wife or other helper show me the view of the trailer I need for...

Even my lowest trim F150 Lightning Pro included parking sensors. Also, it has a rear window that you can actually see out of.

Just saw this. More Room? The Ford bed is wider at the toprails - like 65". Tesla bed is about 52" at the bottom tapering to a number I remember as 55" The only reason the CT bed is rated as having more volume is that the sides are slightly taller at the front. But its with a couple of cubic...

Not surprised given how difficult it is to guess where the back end of your truck is when you cannot see out the back. "Called it"

It is far from obvious that Teslas are safer. Quite the opposite, it seems, actually. Tesla drivers overall crash more than any other brand of vehicle. Will have to see if that stat holds true also for Cybertruck.

Life hack to learn - when changing a tire you can jack a vehicle just shy of lifting the tire off of the floor/ground. Then just slide the wheel off (and back on) the studs with maybe some wiggling / twisting. The dolly is somewhat extra. Two methods I have used: 1- Jack the frame of the...

5 American "guys" will easily be more than half the payload. 5 larger guys like me will EXCEED the 1400 lb payload without any gear. IMHO, the Ford F150 Lightning XLT ER is the best overall tradeoff for the price right now for an EV truck. If you can get one, the Ford F150 Lightning Pro ER from...

Usually people remove the tailgate from their old pickup because it gets damaged beyond usefulness (and perhaps falls off). Not sure if there are other good reasons to do that. But there are people on the forum who may be interested in the takeoff as a replacement for their damaged tailgate.

Another key for towing is to look at the weather forecast for wind direction and velocity. Pray for a tailwind. If headwinds are predicted, maybe consider towing later at night when the wind usually dies down a bit.

In regards to improving the aero of the boat, an overall cover that is tight and not flapping will likely be the most helpful. But you have a lot of other things sticking up and out that are generating more drag than you might think. Think about what things are easy to remove or stow in a more...

Back when they first announced the CT, I gave the feedback that the tailgate NEEDs to be strong enough to handle the entire max payload capacity dropped on it by a teenager driving a forklift at Home Depot. Nobody ever listens to experienced truck users.

Looks like the cap on top pushed down and bent the outer stainless skin a bit. You can see the tailgate closes all the way on the lower half when closed. Probably can be tweaked back. The top edge of the CT tailgate does look a little fragile. Tailgates do take a beating when actually hauling...

The comment about the body plugs is kind of questionable. Those are not just for water tightness for wading through flood waters. Plenty of reasons you don't want holes in your floorboards or cabin panels. Slush and winter driving. Cold drafts. Road and engine/battery heat intrusion...
