Auto Expert Cory Steuben of Munro Associates has insights from a partially constructed Tesla Cybertruck. He says that it has maybe 20 parts in the front frame section versus hundreds of parts for Rivian. He describes many construction similarities to the Gigatexas Tesla Model Y. If Cybertruck is like a 30% larger Tesla Model Y, then different versions would weigh 5500 to 6000 lbs.
Cory Steuben and Munro Associates are car cost experts as they look at all of the component costs for many cars. Cory estimates that the base model Cybertruck will start at a $40k-50k price range.
The rumor is that the first Tesla Cybertrucks will be delivered at a Tesla Cybertruck event in September 2023.
My brain is literally on fire. Pouring over this image, zooming in and studying every little detail. Can’t wait until we get ours and bring it to the world on @live_munro. Headed to Berlin to tour “big factory on Friday”. Stay tuned. @farzyness @elonmusk @teardowntitan pic.twitter.com/W2SUT4n65b

Love the size of this front Giga-casting, I can see SPR’s and threaded fasteners securing the body-side to the castings. No body-on-frame here! The geometry of the steel A-pillar perfectly ties into the top of shock tower. This thing will be STIFF. https://t.co/aJfBKtcyW7 pic.twitter.com/n2rzNZ0yYB

Something wrong with comments. I posted the reply above but the autofill “john m james” … is not me.
If I can find an EV Van similar or lower price than the Cybertruck, I will probably buy the EV van, unless the Cybertruck specs and performance somehow changes my mind. But I will try to stay grounded on considering what I really need, versus what is nice to have.
Do we know anything about the tires?
EVs come with high efficiency tires to max out range. Truck owners often switch to more aggressive tread for truck stuff.
With 4WD you really have to be doing some extreme stuff to need to change the tires. 99% of aggressive truck tires are just used for show.
It is gonna look so sick with knobby over sized mud tires tho. lol.
