Cybertruck reveals new triangle mirrors (removable) in Palo Alto sighting ?? (video)

[Blackhatch]

what makes it such a great work truck?

You can plow you driveway. Cause we know...you couldn't shovel it.

It’s pure speculation

I'm waiting to learn:
what will it tow?

handle a snow plow?

handle a third wheel?

range?

how with the vault cover operate? will there be clearance for loading the box with a bobcat?

Not sure I talk shit with a lipstick red "adventure vehicle". But make no mistake, the CT is hideous.

Just not sure if I'd prefer to be in a "hideous" truck or a "cute colored" sort of truck.

I'm kinda in that camp of it's so ugly that I want to drive it for a bit anyway. Plus I anticipate the performance being very stout so that will make it fun for awhile. But it may draw too much attention for my tastes as well, so I kind of doubt I'll keep it too long. There's also the possibility that I don't enjoy life without the Tesla SC network. Really it's too soon to tell though.

So you think Tesla has some magical ability to buy lithium prices at way below market rate (like 80% off), especially since their long term contracts have basically run out?

That sounds like Tesla/Elon hopium.

No. Hope that answers your question.

the drive is 1/4 mile long, but sure go ahead and be an asshole to me. Not everyone defines a work truck as an urban Home Depot runner. I am asking serious questions about its capabilities. The shortcomings of the R1T as a work truck (for the work I need to accomplish) is why I switched to the R1S and kept by F-150 for "work"

Who the hell has a lipstick red truck? Mine is Red Canyon which is way closer to sunset orange than it is that shade of red. You've clearly never seen one in person because almost everyone who has agrees the truck is way more orange in person than photos.

But I'd much rather have a "cute colored" truck with a nice happy face up front than a shapeless brick of shit that looks like a rolling dumpster on wheels. Not all of us have such fragile masculinity that we are threatened by a truck that doesn't look like a hyper masculine bro dozer or a dumpster on wheels, tech noir shitbox.

Yeah...so I was right.

Is replying with a smart ass retort something that you take offense to? Didn't seem like it when you replied to me and hopped along a joke. Or call folks "urban Home Depot runners".

If one imagined a type of car Andrew Tate would drive, this would probably be it.

I will also assume that people who drive the cybertruck are secretly Andrew Tate wannabes

it does look like a TaintMobile doesn't it...

cool. I can't wait to plow my driveways and farm yard with it.

Ball busting and smart ass commentary aside, I am interested in it for the same reason you are as replacement fleet trucks. There is something alluring about a truck that can't be run low on oil or driven beyond its fluid service intervals.

Hope that he comes through on most of what he is promising.

Your masculinity isn't nearly as "un fragile" as you think. I guess the fact that I drive a pretty truck means we are both super secure then. Cool.

I'm sure you're aware it's too soon to speculate on any of that. But I will speculate that it'll be quite some (measured in years not months) time before there's a plow mount. And I'm pretty confident it's designed to compete against 1/2 ton trucks so I have my doubts about a 3rd wheel too. I know some folks are ok with a third wheel in a half-ton, but by far that crowd uses 3/4 ton and up.

But I do think it'll be really interesting to see what develops and how the aftermarket addresses these topics, and others. This is the first time a manufacturer is making a completely new type of vehicle that needs to address so many purposes to have actual truck-like usability and function. Realistically it's just a matter of time. If the CT cannot address true truck functionality then after the early buyers fizzle out it'll be a tough road for it. I wouldn't sell that F150 for awhile yet!

the way people talk about the CT it almost sounds it could substitute for a F250 which would make it a lot more interesting to me. It is frustrating, however, that real numbers are not available even though it is supposedly getting delivered this year.

I'm not the one comparing shades of red to determine if they are masculine enough, but you do you.

Yeah, there's basically no info out there other than it'll be built in TX and purportedly use 4680's and the stainless steel construction. Tesla is notorious for keeping everything so close to their vest. One example is the refreshed model S...that car is hugely different than the car it replaced, yet because it looks so similar people think it's the same. But we're talking suspension, body, battery updates, interior and motors are new. It's the same level of new as a 992 Porsche 911 is vs a 991 911 actually more.

So I'm thinking it'll will probably be in customer's hands until we really know much. Of course they'll update their website at some point with the stuff they want us to see, but real truck function info like you are speaking of I think we're some time away from yet.

Thanks. Will do. Tell us more about how you feel about the CT?

Can't imagine it approaches 3/4 ton territory with regards plowing or towing.

Aren't the body panels integral to the structure? If that is the case, there is no chance its gonna be able to hang plow off the front of it.
