Depending on battery size it has to be over 7K pounds. The R1T is basically that weight already and it's shorter than the CT

 

so rumor here from chat with tesla person at a charger is range is similar to X (good news) and other info indicates it might tow/load better than competition.

is the stainless steel heavier than painted steel?

 

Here's a good post on it: LINK

 

CT is all steel while most other cars are a combo of steel + aluminum. Combo should definitely be lighter all things considered

 

Where did you get this info from?

 

Maybe not the doors, but considering the supposed bullet pictures, I'd assume the doors too

 

So no megacastings?

 

no it's all steel. Even the batteries are steel.

If you want to make a correction make a correction. Save the snark for someone else

 

From the images we've seen there are front and rear castings which are aluminum. Then of course the outer stainless skin. Beyond that I don't know exactly the mix for example suspension, subframes that kind of thing. You said the Cybertruck is "all steel" so clarify. Some cars have a mix of steel doors, aluminum hood, steel roof.

I looked it up stainless steel has a slightly higher weight per volume vs carbon steel.

 

Joe Rogan had Musk on yesterday and was talking about the CT's ability to take gun shots. Rogan mentioned he thought he could penetrate it with his bow and arrow (Joe Rogan is very into bow hunting), so Musk took him up on the challenge.

problem with all Tesla discussions is that some people hate Musk, then some people hold Tesla stock, and then there are people interested in cars, like me.
Cybertruck will sell like crazy first year and then rest of it matters only if it is priced well. IE something like 50k-60k start and not $100k.

 

I'm in this camp, although I do hold Tesla stock as well

 

 

I didn't understand Joe Rogan's costume but someone on Twitter explained it and it made it hilarious. Apparently there was some world baseball tournament and all the Puerto Rico players died their hair blonde for the tournament so some fans were showing up in blonde wigs. A guy showed up that looked a lot like Joe Rogan so it turned into a meme that went semi viral. So Rogan was dressed up like that guy on his Halloween show. You can see the similarities in the still image of the YT link Amirza posted. Hysterical!
