3:00 that screw on top of front tire looks like it prevents snow chain installation. It looks to be too close to make chains fit. YMMV

That's the trunk. Under bed storage. Kyle remarked on it in his factory walk through at the delivery event.

[@TSportline]

The plastic box underneath? Nothing in it, aero related.

[@pageseven1792]

Also with regard to rear wheel size and the fact that it has steering, you need to take into consideration that Tesla has admitted that they have the rear steering amount (degrees of movement) set fairly low right now, but it's a tunable parameter they can change in software. They might open it up for more movement later, so larger tires might have an issue if Tesla sends out a software update.

[@Noisy_Cricket]

Lol, these fancy new vehicles are great but really a headache in alot of ways!

[@TSportline]

[@randylahey2242]

I haven't put a massive amount of thought in it but I don't think tire size would effect rear steering

[@Christopher-ui8xe]

Honestly I have been driving my model 3 for 4 years and over 110k miles so my biggest gripe is range and for me because I drive in the city so much that stop and go is a range killer any improvements in this area is much appreciated

[@michaelyounes29]

I'd be interested to see how lightweight you could make a model 3 if money was no object and how this improves range.

[@lupavo1738]

@@michaelyounes29 The problem is the vehicle was already made "lightweight" to begin with. The model 3 has the most simplest design and everything on it is already lightweight as is. Only way to make "improvements" on the range is getting the long range version.

Calling city traffic a range killer debunks the claim that you own an EV and exposes that you didn't even do some research into the topic before writing your FUD story.

[@TSportline]

interesting

Umm how would stop and go traffic affect an ev at all? It should use even less battery because the motor is being engaged less often.

[@teslasnek]

I was hoping we would get an answer as to why the underside rear of the truck has that large plastic box that makes the departure angle worse. You said there's nothing under it, so why is it there? Does it help with aero? 🤔

[@TSportline]

It's an aero feature, but its mostly empty

[@teslasnek]

@@TSportline I figured, it's just a shame that it does reduce its departure angle, and it would have been nice if it actually had another purpose- that it wasn't just hollow. No, I guess if it increases the range, it's definitely still worth it

[@gloredon]

Looks like that rear swaybar is a solid one. You didn't comment on that, but it would makes sense for the smaller rear one to be a solid design. I agree showing the rear bumper cap on was a miss. Are you guys going to make a hidden winch bumper for the front? A skid plate that also goes wide enough to become rocker protectors would be good too. Just so you are aware, aluminum skid plates stick to rocks. Steel ones slide over. For real world use, aluminum isn't usually worth the weight savings.

[@TSportline]

Yes, we'll cover more on another video. We were putting this back together for the customer, so had to rush a little bit.

[@davidelliott5843]

Battery tray will be aluminum. Stainless does a better job of skidding off rocks but gives a serious risk of galvanic corrosion hitting the battery case. It could have a thick plastic layer between but aluminum removes the risk. Don’t mix metals. Same issue arises if the thin aero plates are replaced with stainless steel. It can be used but will need plastic washers. Ideally glue them to the stainless so they don’t fall off during fitting.

[@tareskisloki8579]

A lot of trucks don't even have a rear sway bar, so it's no surprise that the rear is significantly smaller. Aluminium with a UHMW coating would probably work best for the skids (a common option among serious rock crawlers).

[@popo_patty]

Great look at parts us gearheads care about! Thanks!

[@brianb-p6586]

@@tareskisloki8579 those trucks without rear anti-sway bars also have leaf springs which resist roll (since they must twist to allow roll), so it's not a direct equivalent. I doubt you'll find a truck (or any vehicle) with an independent rear suspension and no rear bar, but I may be mistaken.

Pretty decent breakdown. The drive by wire is a first for us and we make every Tesla steering column. The cybertruck column is very unique in many ways.

Hi there. Could one fit a winch on the front of the Cybertruck in addition to a front tow hitch? Reason is that when launching boats from the beach, one would push the trailer with the boat into the sea, not to mention being able to winch the boat onto the trailer from the ocean using front winch.

The smooth contours and graceful curvature create a visual masterpiece that transcends conventional notions of beauty. What sets this person apart is not just their physical appearance but the unyielding confidence with which they embrace their distinctive feature. In turning a potential cosmetic concern into a symbol of self-assurance, this individual becomes a beacon of authenticity in a society often preoccupied with perfection. Their influence extends beyond aesthetics, fostering a community that values self-expression and celebrates the beauty of individuality. In the realm of online content creation, this person's perfectly balanced and balding head becomes a powerful narrative of self-love and acceptance, challenging societal norms and redefining the parameters of true beauty

this one is easy to jack up / lift

[@2001yellowvette]

Do you have to put the truck in a special mode to lift it up for the air suspension?

[@TSportline]

No, you can select the height you prefer in the center screen

[@2001yellowvette]

@TSportline I understand the adjustment of the suspension . I should rephrase my statement. To work on the vehicle does it have to be put in service mode to lift it so you don't damage the air shocks.

[@lucianbeilic4781]

For me a real pickup truck must have a least 1 solid axel. The front suspension it's a joke, one ball joint on upper control arm. They supposed to put 2 separate strong control arms ,means 2 ball joints , in stead of triangle control arm !

[@TSportline]

No solid axles here ha ha

Personally, I think it was a big miss to show the back with the plastic on. Lots of people are interested in seeing what is inside that lower lump because it was not there in the prototype.

We didn't confirm, we need to play around with the settings next

[@Al-yc4cn]

Just guess but isn’t that the in-bed storage compartment much like the honda ridgeline?

[@waltermun]

5:10 OMG you just damaged the roof with the extra push up!

[@Rpunx]

Relax, that’s not true. That wire with foam around it is a height sensor, the rack won’t go higher.

[@JSMCPN]

No, the top is a bump-sensor. It's soft and flexible, and tells the pump to stop before any damage can occur. The top of the truck never touched/moved the sensor.

[@TSportline]

ha ha, roof is fine. Nothing touched.

I would not take that off-road without some full body skid plates. I see one puncture in the wrong spot deadlining that truck. Light off-road duty yes, but heavy duty I wouldn’t risk it

[@markplott4820]

Unplugged Performance is already selling Ballistic under Armor for CT.

[@danharold3087]

Tesla designed the truck to take a skid plate under the battery. The holes are there. I would not be surprised if they have that on the entire underside. The people who really want to off road the truck will change out what is there. Tesla is selling what most owners need and aftermarket will provide the rest.
