Tesla has confirmed that it is now producing both the anode and cathode of its 4680 battery cells using a dry-electrode process, marking a key breakthrough in a technology the company has been working to industrialize for years...

I know it’s Electrek but I found the article interesting. https://electrek.co/2025/12/29/tesla-4680-battery-supply-chain-collapses-partner-writes-down-dea/

According to this article Tesla will realize about $1B is savings. The Cybertruck will be the first Tesla to use the new cells. https://insideevs.com/news/754141/tesla-cybertruck-ev-battery-upgrade-dry-cathode/

For members who Cybertruck deliveries are on hold. Most likely due to motorist safety and liability concerns. Another recall coming? https://electrek.co/2025/03/13/tesla-cybertruck-deliveries-are-on-hold-as-trims-are-flying-off-the-bulletproof-truck/

The detailed Cybertruck is the best looking CT I have ever seen. The SS panels look flawless. This ceramic coating is top rated and is much easier to apply than Protectaclear. Not a bad value either for 8-years of protection for $150 but I question the length of protection. Check out Coleton’s...

Skip to 5:05 for the satisfying sound of a 1.8mm thick SS door skin popping back to its original shape.

What are the odds? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/tesla-cybertruck-with-oil-leak-needs-7660-motor-replacement-but-who-should-pay/

The designers thought of everything. Built in rooftop tent, flip around passenger seat, winch, etc. Would potential Cybertruck buyers cross shop this concept van if it went into production?

Interesting article regarding the 4680 cells used in the Cybertruck battery pack. Improvements are rumored to be coming soon... https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-mass-production-dry-electrode-4680-cells-end-of-2024-report/

I have been reading about ProtectaClear and Sharkhide to help eliminate fingerprints since I don’t plan on installing a wrap after I eventually take delivery. I remember trying Nyalic on some aluminum metal signs around ten years ago with excellent success. It’s a relatively unknown commercial...

Maybe some of our first adopters can comment. https://insideevs.com/news/715096/tesla-cybertruck-early-breakdowns/

Billions, and billions of winged cicadas will be invading the southeast and Midwest this spring. This will be a rare event that hasn’t occurred since 1803. This will be a true staining and corrosion resistance test of the ultra hard SS after the cicadas splatter their guts all over the front of...

I think that the CT’s second best feature other than the SS exterior is the unique steer-by-wire technology. No other pickup sold in America employs it. 170 degrees to the maximum turn is pretty amazing. The Cybertruck is the 3rd production vehicle sold in America to use it. SBW combined with...

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-Cybertruck-bends-upper-control-arm-in-testing-raising-concerns-about-suspension-durability.761845.0.html Compared to a F150 Raptor the pressed steel upper control arm looks flimsy. Not sure if this is the production part however.

I have a Plan B is case Tesla prices the 2024 Cybertruck in the clouds. Here are the vehicles that I also have deposits on as a backup. Please share yours: -2024 Ineos Grenadier -2024 Tacoma TRD Pro hybrid -Canoo pickup -2024 F150 Raptor

I think Tesla is going to surprise everyone by making steer-by-wire standard on the upcoming CT. Tesla has had 3+ years to design, engineer and validate the new system. Toyota will be offering it soon on their small SUV. I found a great video explains the redundant systems that are employed to...

I am curious if members considered any other pickup trucks, ICE or BEV, before placing a Cybertruck deposit. Here are mine in “lust factor” order; #1: Cybertruck (Dual Motor on order) #2: Rivian R1T (digging the 800HP quad motor drivetrain) #3: Ford Raptor (have wanted one since the 2nd...

Updated with polished Cybertruck rendering by @GBall Polishing stainless steel to a mirror like finish takes some effort, even more so than aluminum because it's a harder metal. A small Airstream travel trailer will take roughly 200 hours of labor. Anyone plan on going this route instead of...
