Off-Topic CyberTruck is now in showrooms

[EXOTIC2]

I was there yesterday for 25 min. For the time I was there, 1/2 of them never owned EV, but came to Delivery Center to check out that truck. They think it’s stupid, but then, they got interested in Model-3 and Model-Y in the showroom and staffs were taking down phones # and email addresses.

They are going to kill it with the refresh model three. An advertising campaign ticket to to get people in the show rooms. I was in the San Diego store and it took almost an hour just to get through the line.

I just watched the live stream. What a sh*t show. These specs(especially range) are middling for a LOT of money. I can see 75 percent of people cancelling their reservations..

75% cancellations
Which means they will only have about 500k orders to keep them busy for the next three or four years. Imagine if gravity can manage 500K that would be monumental.

I get the impression the cybertruck is a toy, like an Ariel Atom.

It's a 3rd or 4th car kind of thing imo.

I haven't been good enough this year for Santa to drop that off.

I hear there is a range extender that takes the range from 340 to 470. I am guessing that is a Lucid with range-exchange giving it another 130 miles????

More specs ... I'd still take a Gravity over this abomination!

250 KWH LOL. Piece of garbage… it looks good as a status symbol, nothing else.

Yea I guess no one is getting v4 supercharging now, no need

That is 250 kW charge speed, not battery size

 

[Adnillien]

How is that a truck has the same cargo capacity as Gravity?

Yes, that was what I meant, sorry about that. I don't know much about battery and electrical stuff, but is kwh only used for the size of battery or is it charging as well?

Also, does anybody know what the actual battery size is?

A kWhr is a measure of energy. The energy stored in the battery, the power bill for your house, the energy it takes to drive 100 miles, etc. A kW is a measure of instantaneous power, the power being used by the electric motor. Looking at the units, you can see that energy is power multiplied by time (kW * hr = kWhr).

CT is even lighter than my R1S.

I had to read a bit more about this, and MAN OH MAN, what a terrible outcome for Tesla. Basically, didn't accomplish anything they had promised and the worst part is no 800v architecture and no 4680 structural pack. This is seriously a s*@tshow. Bodes well for the Gravity though =)

There is an 800v system.

There is an 800v system.

then why is the max charge speed only 250?

 

[xponents]

Thats the part that nobody knows. Maybe just to increase efficiency instead of charging speeds? Its a weird choice…

Did they announce 800v or is that still from before?

There was a slide on their presentation that said 800v during the unveil, so yes.

I stand corrected about my previous statement and makes you wonder then why their high voltage architecture charges slower. So they can deliberately delay rolling out V4 superchargers because they can make the tech work?
