That truck looks 100 times better with those fender flares y'all made for it. Elon should take notice.

[@joepitts3638]

I think the issue is wind drag. The fenders definitely improved the look, but will most likely hurt efficiency, which to each consumer may not be an issue, but the ones that buy the truck and try to get the most range it will be an issue. Its all good though, the aftermarket will have the consumers back.

4 quarts of oil is about 7 pounds. 21 quarts of oil is about 36 pounds. So in a situation where the ring gets hooked on something, it's far safer to wear a generic rubber ring. It's even safer not to wear a ring at all. I used to wear a ring, but stopped when a friend of mine lost a finger by shorting his wedding ring across a truck battery.

[@AB-pc7do]

Yeah exactly some pretty bad marketing right there

Put hydraulics on CyberTrax and a HUGE subwoofer setup on that battery because you would need 10 alternators to provide that battery current otherwise. I literally typed this early in the video and once you mentioned hydraulics I realized this was not just coincidental, I needed to edit and bring something up for you to consider. I put hydraulics on 3 vehicles in my time but that was 20+ years ago. 16 switches will require 4 pumps and 4 dumps or 2 pumps with a gnarly custom made 8 dump manifold and a few extra check valves. Buy lots of extra keys for between the pump head and the motor of the hydraulic pumps because I am sure you guys are gonna put some to the test. 48 Volts might be quick enough (especially with the available amperage) but I don't know what that cyber truck weighs. I would be willing to help brainstorm or even help build. I worked in TV production for 13 years with many networks, mainly for ESPN working as a traveling utility for Monday Night Football. I was an Avionics tech in the Air Force. I am unemployed and would love to help you guys with any project even if its just 1. Thanks for reading.

I have been watching your videos for a couple of yearS or more and have to say it is great to see how much evolution is happening right in front of everybodys eyes. You use to be in a smaller shop, had less toys, less equipment and largely focused on towing. These days you are opening up to all sorts of possibilities and having fun doing it. Witnessing your growth, educating yourself, experimenting with things many only dream of, then educating and entertaining the public through your videos....EXCELLENT JOB!! I have always said, if people open up, come together on projects and technology WE as a whole can accomplish almost anything. People are generally scared of innovation, scared of losing the "traditional" things in life. Imagine, a phone that we can use while we drive, without a long cord. Imagine, heating your food up in seconds. Imagine, a power saving diode emitting more light than a tungsten bulb...evolution...who woulda thunk it? LOL. If WE come together and support innovation, it will be much easier, and more enjoyable to progress with success rather than regress or not even trying. EV's may not be for every application or best for all conditions however, if we keep trying WE'LL get there. One of the first cars ever built was electric...Jay Leno owns one.

[@ericcleland817]

I have a thought with the Cybertruck doing the Baja 5000 Dave. So I had this idea that originally was being invented as a method of being able to change out fully electric semi truck's battery system. So the invention idea is a conex trailer that has been modified to hold multiple battery bank systems that would have a rectangular styled battery that can be swapped out quickly and easily, allowing the electric semi to swap out the drained battery, for a fully charged battery. The conex itself would be setup like any semi truck 53ft trailer, and depending on the clients needs can be setup to charge both on grid, with solar, off grid, all solar, or on grid only like at places such as truck stops. For your needs on the Baja, I think it would be amazing to be able to find a badass simple modular battery system, that would allow you to stop at a pit stop, basically have a small backup battery system to be able to run computer electrical systems in between the change, and use a small 4 winch setup to make it easy to lower the battery, and install another battery fully charged. Honestly the concept could work amazingly well especially in cold climate locations like where you live in Utah. Having a conex with multiple battery banks ready to go could work perfect to allow the cybertruck the ability to possibly run the Baja 5000, and do incredibly well.

23:48 That's the truth! Appreciate you guys stepping forward, & putting in the work. Few could see past the steel of this ugly duckling of the trucking community. You guys took Tesla's brilliant HFS, stressed tested it, reinforcing through failures, you have proven it's mettle. What an amazing experience, thank you for sharing your experience with us.

I wanna see a cyber truck with a 9 foot Western MVP3 V snowplow from Semi Service on it! They make a stainless steel version that would look sick! Plus as you know plowing is extremely hard on Trucks. I use F-550’s for my fleet plow trucks

[@richardthomas1566]

It would only make it around the block before it needed recharging

[@TroySavary]

What are you going to mount the plow to?

[@colebreinholt1778]

@@TroySavary Probably the windshield

Thank you Heavy D for the common sense opinion on electric vehicles. I say it's the future and at some point I will own one, BUT I travel, pull boats and campers and drive for miles and miles through woods and on frozen lakes. As of now, internal combustion engines are better for that. I can't wait see more of what you do with the Badger and other things like that.

great, honest video

Love the explanation. The weaker upper control arm may also play a role in crash safety.

[@android04]

Exactly, components of the suspension are designed to break apart in a crash in order to not be pushed into the cabin and to add crumple zone. People don't understand physics or other design goals that have tradeoffs.

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

The upper control arms are NOT part of a crumple zone.. The part is trash!! The truck as a whole is junk, give it a year or two and come back to this comment..

[@bio_stack]

@@NewEdgeDesigns Thanks for the clarification. I'm not a crash safety engineer, so i was just speculating.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@NewEdgeDesigns You don't know what you're talking about and are unwilling to let someone who knows a whole more about the Cybertruck school you. You don't want to learn!

[@hearshot187]

I wanna see this thing lifted. Nothing crazy, like a 6" or 7" lift and some sick rims/tires.
