Another sighting - Dublin CA Supercharger

[jboy210]

I went to charge this morning and found a Cybertruck charging there. No one was with the truck so maybe they were over at the Donut Boys. We have seen them roaming around Pleasanton, CA quite often. It definitely attracts a crowd whereever it goes, which as one picture shows also means fingerprints on the skin.

BTW, notice the size of the wiper. That thing is huge!!! I wonder how long before Pep Boys stocks those.

Left their purse and laptop on the backseat. Good thing it wasn't in Los Angeles or the window smash mode would have been tested.

It may have been tested and it simply passed, that is some tough glass. Wish I could get it for my 3 and X, tired of replacing windshields

As to the wiper I am sure it’s a stock size, the carrier just holds two in series so it looks big

Thanks for the info on the wiper. I should have looked closer at it.

We don't know if Tesla is putting in "tough glass". Many "rumors" say they shifted to standard laminated glass due to cost to both Tesla and the customer for replacement. We know the glass has no BR rating at all...that's about all we know at this point.

Given they are allegedly trying to hit a mass-market price point, there's no way these things have any extra-fancy glass in them. Heck, they probably don't have rain sensors either!

Also, the front of that car looks like something a bunch of high-school kids built in their shop class with a plasma cutter, a sheet-metal bender, and a welder. It's horrible.

Tesla have removed rain sensor from any of their car for a long time. I’m fairly certain cybertruck won’t have it either. Even model X don’t have it

Maybe that was the objective?

But if you have tough glass (or at least whatever they promised for the Semi) you can drive into a nuclear blast and not have to replace your glass, why would there ever be a time when Tesla and the Customer are paying to replace it. Get the impression it’s one and done. Larger upfront cost but to own a car for years and never replace the windshield is a dream. Even if the car isn’t prone to replacing the glass due to chips and cracks the optical purity degrades over time and a 10 yo car driving into the sunset can be difficult to see out of due to the distortion.

I can't tell if you're joking with the nuclear blast comment, but we know the glass on the CT cracks and breaks as we've seen on the RC models.

Check out the original Semi/Roadster][ announcement and you’ll see the specification. They were also swinging a tow hitch on a chain at it without a scratch

Innovation is about value and Tesla Semi’s windshield is a great example

If you want to learn about innovation and its actual capacity to add value, reduce cost and ultimately bring efficiency, look no further…

If the windshield can stand up to large Hailstones that would be a plus.

1. Not a nuclear blast
2. We know the CT cracks as we've seen on 3 different RC trucks...to what point, we don't know, but Elon confirmed it's not bullet resistant.

 

[JaxonDM]

That sure is a head-turner. Shame if the windshields are not that tough against crooks.

Does anybody catch how fast these are charging?
