Cybertruck will not have a door handle -- best news ever!

This is news?

Grit - I think certain tow vehicle friends have been assigned this forum to ensure a proper "social media positivity rating".

If they were really focused on all EV news, there are many more EV trucks with exciting news that they do not report. I was surprised to see that I finally got through to one of them that the GMC Hummer was real, and real versions in testing on roads.

Maybe we need to create a survey to see if Tow Vehicle owners prefer door handles? I wonder if there is a difference between those that believe you need a diesel. Maybe our engineers can explain the weight savings without door handles, or how they meet the FMVSS.

:)We will probably have all summer to dream about this lack of handles.

I wonder how much reduction of coefficient of drag it made - so it’s now 60 mph in 2.85 seconds? lol

Won't repeat my past trauma with my Jeep that she keeps on using and at some point thought it's actually hers.

@Reisender -- better buy your own. You won't have access to your wifey's,



Musk: No door handle for the Cybertruck

Aww mannn. :).

Only once have I had an ice and door issue. Not fun.

Sounds like a dumb idea to me.

This is news?

I wondered if the door poppers would have enough force to break through the ice. Sounds like maybe not.

Have you ever had a hotrod with "door-poppers". Yeah. PIA to open if something happens.

It may look cool, but I've had issues trying to get a door open after a severe ice storm. Sometimes old school works better than cool school. It's only happened a few times, but it has happened.

The best news ever will be when they start production. :)

That's what Elon's own friend said when he was trying to borrow money from him to meet payroll.

Well, he got the now collectible first Roadster and made millions from his initial $50,000 that he already said goodbye to and wrote off as not coming back.
