No. The mirror is. It can be digital, but it has to be installed at delivery.Really? Lipstick is required by us regulations? Bet it's an OSHA thing.

The mirror will show you the bed when the cover is open. Especially if something flew out. The rear camera wouldn’t show that.Thats why you have a mirror under the visor ...
It's stating 2024 if you're placing a new order.I was concerned about the CT ramp before the delivery event, now I'm even more concerned. Did you all notice deliveries start in '24? Not now, or December, but 2024? I'm afraid production still might not even start for months. As usual with my pessimism, I hope I'm wrong, but the ramp could be even uglier than what I feared in my previous bear case.

I gotta say, as someone who camps a lot in many weather conditions throughout the year, roof-top tents are about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Pay thousands to expose yourself to the wind on top of the vehicle, and/or make getting out of the tent in the middle of the night an adventure?--no thanks, Just invest in a good quality standalone tent or sleep in the truck bed itself. Better and cheaper.I was hoping to use a Cybertruck as a camper, but the 3K$ CT Tent is not what I hoped for. Any ideas if the third party camping attachments like the Cyberlandr will be feasible now that the CT is officially released?
True but if I saw the cargo really moving around due to the wind, I’d stop and fix it before it flew out.Until it hits whatever is behind you...
Has anyone here been contacted regarding delivery?It's stating 2024 if you're placing a new order.
Which is, on the other hand, probably grossly optimistic, but perhaps Tesla is expecting a lot of pre-orders to wait for price reductions and other trims to come out later and be able to deliver to new orders sooner than we'd expect.
Cybertruck's ouput (48A, 11.5kW) is equal to one Powerwall 3.Let's talk PowerWalls.
Do people realize the CT is like having a bunch of PowerWalls? It's has more than 2 PWs in terms of Power Delivery, and about 10 PWs in terms of Storage Capacity. The thing will run my entire home (I have 2 existing Powerwalls so the integration requires no additional hardware). My existing PWs cost an arm and a leg with the only advantage that they are available even when the vehicles are off-site.
But there has to be some serious CT value add for folks wanting to add more solar and PWs. And then to think that Tesla would honor the 150K mi battery warranty is insanely valuable. That's better than our existing PWs!
And what if I can charge from the grid at night on Off-peak? I can't do this with our existing PWs which can only be charged via Solar. This is likely a constraint placed by our Utility Co, but I'm not sure they could prevent us from loading up at night in CT. This will be a nice offset power machine on Wheels. So now I'm questioning if Solar is even needed in order to do pure offset use and cut DAILY power expenses. Oooo utilities gonna hate this, right?
No, but it's been 1 day.Has anyone here been contacted regarding delivery?
Does anyone here know of someone, other than Tesla employees or people with celebrity status, that has been contacted?
& that assumes you're operating in a good temperature range. During cold parts of the year you can knock another 20-30% off that. Then look at the sparse distribution of superchargers in most of the US (away from the two coasts) and it's easy to understand why a 500 mile range would be desirable for people that need a work truck in most geographic areas. CT will be great for operating within a 100 mile radius of a home charger and urban areas with superchargers but battery technology still has a ways to go before it starts to displace many truck use cases very much akin to how the tesla semi won't displace long-haul trucking anytime soon but is nonetheless useful.It’s about the towing. That will cut range by quite a bit. 500 would maybe give you 250 if pulling a 11k trailer.
I think this narrative I keep hearing so often here and from many Tesla enthusiasts on Twitter, is a bit delusional and removed from reality. You can have a ton of Superchargers every 2nd mile in every gas station, it doesn't take away the need to have a decent solid (meaning 20-80%) 300 mile range in peak winter. Which is why 500 mile EPA is important.When there is a Supercharger station every 50 miles, range don't matter, period.
I just watched it and indeed, I think that's what Larse was saying. I was taken aback by that statement.Is Larse suggesting Highland is at full speed?
In metro areas and along major interstates, that's true. On secondary roads, or in remote, rural areas? Not so much. In much of the West (not West coast) you're out of luck if you're not along a major interstate. Even in the crowded East, if you prefer rural backroads, you're stretched at the current time. Granted, things are improving steadily, but the infrastructure isn't there yet for a lot of the country. The problem is, the places you're likely to want to take a trailer are most likely in those rural, somewhat remote areas.and there are a gazillion superchargers
This is why no one follows a pickup closely. Junk falling out of the truck happens all too often.Until it hits whatever is behind you...
Nah. If you order one now then there is no way you are getting it in 2023. Too many in line in front of you. I think that's all it means.I was concerned about the CT ramp before the delivery event, now I'm even more concerned. Did you all notice deliveries start in '24? Not now, or December, but 2024? I'm afraid production still might not even start for months. As usual with my pessimism, I hope I'm wrong, but the ramp could be even uglier than what I feared in my previous bear case.
Only if the interstates are on the East and West Coasts.In metro areas and along major interstates, that's true.

Can the range extender plug and play as a powerwall? If so, instant purchase for me. I want to purchase 4 powerwall for my farm. If I could go with 2 powerwalls and an extender for extra capacity for my home system, and then unhook and plug into Cybertruck when needed. I have equipment to lift and move. All I need is for it to be compatible for home storage and in the truck. For 90% of my use standard battery pack is fine and I want the batteries at home for backup.The Range extender will Never be sold, just makes no Sense at all
It’s too heavy to be easily removed, it’s not possible to truly fast charge as of cooling complexity, it worsens every spec of the car including the ones you care for when buying into the extender which is range and charge times as more weight is less range and the extender can’t keep up with vehicle charging speed
