blwnsmoke Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 LMAO, look at that ridiculous wiper. Can't wait to see that bad boy in action. Look at how well it is incorporated into the cowl... oh wait, what cowl? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willwll313wll Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I was skeptical that it would make it to production looking like concept/prototype but... they are doing it. That's pretty amazing. I'm excited for continued innovation, and I'm excited to see automakers actually take advantage of new design directions you can go with EVs. I also think that it's great that some people think it's hideous. It's better to have a reaction to not even know it exist. And automakers don't have to design everything for everyone. The Truck will sell, to who it sells to, which apparently is not you guys haha. AND DAMN THAT WIPER BIG AF WTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Since that is not the "production" version of the wiper, my guess would be a "force field" ala Star Trek to keep debris off the windshield, however, since it will impact battery range...your range may vary when it is raining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truck is not for me, because I like traditional styling, but good for them. I always welcome competition because Ford products usually benefit from it. With that said I’m looking forward to seeing this thing in action so I can understand how that cabin configuration is going to work out. I don’t see how the rear seat occupants aren’t going to have their headroom impacted, but perhaps the angle starts soon enough to not affect it.

RedHoncho01 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 This example was in Marysville, Ohio on October 6 driving through downtown during a busy event. Marysville is the site of the first Honda automobile manufacturing plant. The downtown has advanced technology that allows V2V communication and it may be this Cybertruck was testing that sort of technology.

jniffen Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Wonder how it will on the crash tests. Anyone betting on how well it will survive the NHTSA front end collision? Also, will the IIHS even be testing thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 In preparation for Black Friday, production Cybertrucks are now being displayed at Tesla stores throughout the U.S. Example from Tesla store at University Town Center in San Diego.

Anyone betting on how well it will survive the NHTSA front end collision? Also, will the IIHS even be testing thing? This is something I've been thinking about for years as well. We've seen Teslas out through crash tests, the material isn't deforming that much by the looks of things. That's good for durability I guess, but terrible for safety. Modern cars crumple not because they're poorly engineered or not built to last as some people say. It's because those crumple zones deform, and absorb a lot of the impact forces. If your truck doesn't absorb the impact, it's literally gonna kill some people. I know Tesla has some very stupid people running it, but they can't be this dumb can they? There has to be something we're missing. Because if we're not, that means this is a 700 hp heavy truck with sharp edges, terrible crumple zones, sketchy drive less software, and awful and unstable driving dynamics per the insider engineering report, and poor braking performance. Like, my God, this thing is just a rolling five car pileup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jniffen Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I'm thinking this is going to be Tesla's 'Edsel', or 'Diesel Cadillac.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Don't know if it was a prototype or pre production, but I saw a cybertruck on a tow truck with some other vehicles driving on the highway through Houston the other day. The tires and wheels looked mundane so I'm guessin it's the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
