Drag Coefficient Estimates: R1T versus Cybertruck. And 265 mile range?

[DuoRivians]

Like, "wow, having a truck is great but these parts of the CT suck. Where can I get a truck that doesn't suck like this?" kind of curious?

Like the people who aren’t complete Tesla stans and were waiting to see what the CT specs were before deciding to purchase an EV truck

I imagine it has the same effect on the forward motion as the Gatling gun on the front of the A-10 Warthog...

Ah yes but does the giant wiper blade go BRRRRRRRRRRP BRRRRRRRRRRRRP

I bet it does if you dry-wipe!

Longer blade should have a much lower frequency. I think I figured out why they chose to do it. Probably sounds a lot more like flatulence than a normal length blade.

Brings new meaning to the term "fartbox"

I saw my first in the wild right yesterday as I was passing the Laguna Space that is about to open

it was hideous and absurd and I am so grateful for my truck

I like Tesla's engineering. I will take delivery of the CT, and put it through it's paces just like I have all the other EVs.

That said, I can't shake the feeling that this is going to be Tesla's first big swing-n-miss... we will soon see....

Aktchually,

the Tesla website shows a countdown and is still at 24 hours and 33 minutes (at time of posting )

Those models don't appear to include that giant unit of a wiper sitting on the windshield either. We already know it was an afterthought. Imagine the drag if the wiper is in motion on the way down while driving forward

Nor side mirrors

You think Tesla let Kyle do a 70 mph freeway test already? Maybe Kyle "knows a guy" at Tesla and already has his.

Incoming, longest vid about ugliest dumpster.

Hard pass.

I doubt it but you know that Kyle will find a way. The next 2 weeks will be saturated with CT content.

I cannot wait for this s-show to begin. It's going to be like these live Presidential debates with all the mud-slinging and counter-claims. Sit tight.

It looks like a bar is missing from the battery meter. There's a reason Elon was trying to hit so hard on the "300 miles is all you need" during the last earnings call. It seems the first variants will all be 300-320 miles of rated range dual motor variants.

I'm guessing a price tag of around $85,000 - $90,000 making it the most expensive Tesla currently. It'll sell out next year but we will see how it goes beyond that.

TroyTeslike estimates 294 miles at 100% SoC
