- If which was the platform for Tusk's first Tesla...not this model mentioned above
Still see a few 1st gen Tesla's locally - "Recently, Musk said that the car(Lotus Esprit) served as part of the inspiration for Tesla’s new Cybertruck."

Wow, I almost asked Elon to refund my hard-earned $100 for the Cybertruck with all the ghosts found under the hood of this truck.
Until wait, problem with 30 to 50% power drain on Cybertruck. My ICE is worst at more than 50% reduced mpg when towing.
I can only go 200 miles in full charge when towing. Wait, that my regular stops for gas up and lunch on my camping trips.
I'll have problems with off roading? How, it will have a ton more torque and ground clearance?
The bullet proof glass shattered? Who cares, I'm not going to Texas anyways.
The looks, oh yeah, it still have not grown into me yet. Anyone, wants to buy for $5,000 my high-priority place in order-reservation queue?
Real world towing is showing a range of 30-50 percent verses unloaded. The reduction is 50-70 percent.
BTW: My diesel has a 30 percent reduction when under load verses unloded.
Huh?:h:)
When and where? Have they already tested the Cybertruck under towing conditions? Dang, I missed that one!
Here is your Tesla towing. Watch what happens. The look on the kids face is priceless! LOLYosemite Sam1 wrote:

Not the Cybertruck but why would it be any different from
This
Electric motors are the best thing for moving heavy loads but existing battery technology just isn't up to storing enough energy for sustained high load operation.- Because the Cybertruck will not be available for two or three years and I posted about actual reports available today, you must realize that those losses are for current EV's. I'm not sure if you are baiting or if you did not comprehend my post. Current technology will result in a range depreciation of 50-70 percent. If you have actual owner feedback showing the opposite, I'm sure there are plenty of members that would like to study that.
If you are buying on speculation that technology will be at a point of only 30-50 percent range reduction by the time you purchase your truck, then state that this where you think the progression will lead. - I understand you can hear the electric truck coming ........ it sound like the future. It is quiet but it keeps coming.

When and where? Have they already tested the Cybertruck under towing conditions? Dang, I missed that one!- Let me try to explain to the fan bois why an old truck like I own puts out many, many times more torque that the Cyber junk.
The truck I own puts out 650 ft/lbs at the crankshaft. That torque is fed to an Allison tranny with a 1st gear of 3.10 to 1 gear ratio.
Now that 650 ft/lbs of torque that is feed into the tranny comes out as 2,015 ft/lbs of torque.
But we are not done yet. Now fan bois, we need to feed that 2,015 ft/lbs of torque into the 3.75 rear end.
So, 2,015 ft/lbs go into the rear end and the tires see slightly over 7,500 ft/lbs of torque.
It has been reported that the Cyber junk will have 1,000 ft/lbs of torque. If true, my 12 YO truck will put out 7x's the amount of torque the Cyber junk will put out.
If I have time I will do some more math to show that lying Elon is FOS.
BTW, what happened to the Tusk 300,000 tow rating? LOL Yosemite Sam1 wrote:
