This is gonna make our futuristic world-class modern dirtbike look... old. We're gonna need some new low-poly plastics
"220 on the money honey!" ~ Mojo NixonI hope the onboard power will be able to supply 240V 15A so I can fast charge my Altas without a generator.
Just take all the plastics off, replace the rear fender assembly with some sheet metal duct work, cut at some Sharp angles and it should match up well enough.This is gonna make our futuristic world-class modern dirtbike look... old. We're gonna need some new low-poly plastics
Reserved dual motor as quickly as I could. Stuff like this I've learned to "buy now, ask questions later" since there's 100% refund. I did the same thing for the model 3, which I ultimately decided not to purchase because it didn't suit my lifestyle. I was actually able to sell my model 3 reservation spot since I had an early spot in line and people around here were itching to get the car.
I was shocked at the design of the truck when I watched the reveal live. Since then it's really grown on me. I just kind of wish the truck had a more aerodynamic shape. There's probably a large amount of turbulence right off that sharp roofline at highway speeds as the airflow separates. But besides that, the specs are fantastic. 300+ miles range is plenty for my needs. I hope the onboard power will be able to supply 240V 15A so I can fast charge my Altas without a generator.
Man, i'm both salivating and fuming over the idea that Tesla could have scooped up Alta for cheap and had a Redshift EXR roll onto the bed of the CyberTruck in the demo. Could have been a match made in heaven, so to speak.
The ONLY thing interesting (to me) about the cyber-quad is that they spent time miniaturizing a power train (battery/motor/controller).
Maybe, in the future, worst case, we'll be retrofitting this into our dead Alta chassis.'
It's an option for another vehicle - pretty sure the engineering is probably an afterthought as well. Hope to be wrong.
Have they released any specs on range, power and towing capacity? Sedans are one thing, but if I have a boat to tow, not sure this thing would make it to the water. I guess if you just want it to off-road then it's probably a good fit.
This is what a Lamborghini Countach Truck would have looked like back in 1974-1990!
Good luck to Tesla passing any kind of FMVSS requirement as is.I wasn't aware that the flat body panels were due to the type of steel they used that is too tough for sheet metal forming tools.
What do you mean by it's an option for another vehicle?
Sounds like Tesla is a tough company to work for. I can image that it is.
