Very surprised nobody has come out with a blanking panel for it almost two years after release. Completely transforms the rear end of the truck, for the better.

Surprising given how torsionally rigid they claimed the body was. The more I see/hear the more I think they should have gone with a traditional body on frame construction.

Doesn’t the wheel being turned potentially increase the amount of stress being placed on the tie rod and hence the rack by those external forces?

Moonroof? Should have turned off rear wheel steer, would have likely saved the rear axle/rack.

@mongo why are you being a secret squirrel?

Where were the source posts made?

Not quite. This is how theirs looks, main difference is it leaves the sub frame exposed, along with a few other geometric design differences that don't quite mesh as well as the original.

Yes, however you could have the bumper cover the sub-frame with no adverse effect on departure angle. The 2019 prototype had the perfect design before Tesla had to start compromising for efficiency/cost on the production version, they should just copy that instead.

You need to run a cable to every inductive charger for power, they don't magically create electricity out of thin air, that's no different to putting L2 plug-in chargers in every spot, with the exception inductive hardware is going to be more expensive. That's a pipe dream, the cost would be...

Widen that part of the arch to match and put a manual spring latch door, it doesn't have to be powered, in fact powered charge port doors are only a nuisance. Seconded, not sure why everyone feels the need to mess with the original design and make it worse. Just make them wider, end of.

Nothing weird about it, it's the reality of the EPA test which allows manufacturer substantial latitude in playing with correction factors.

The issue is that at 600+ lbs it won't be easily removable, so while bed volume generally isn't a big deal when towing it does become a nuisance when you're not. A pack with taller cells should have been the solution.

Yeah, definitely sloppy on Munster's part given he covers the company for a living. Agree all around. A van and a minivan are two different things.

He's incorrectly using the "$25k car" term to indicate the lower cost vehicle on the 3/Y platform. Dare I say it's almost necessary to hit the 250k units the line was designed for? I don't see them hitting that number with Cybertruck alone.

We get it, you have shit taste.

I wrote: "Both 20" wheels and neither of them have an aero design so pretty much negligible".

The OEM stock tire is 285/65R20 Both 20" wheels and neither of them have an aero design so pretty much negligible.

Might be worth waiting for the EV optimized Toyo Open Country A/T III to come out if one is looking for a 3PMSF tire rather than this off the rack Duratrac.

People need to get out of the ICE camping mindset, that thing is going to kill your range. There's a reason Tesla designed their tent the way they did.

Make the rack shorter so it doesn't stick past the peak, lowers frontal area and looks better.
