Tesla Truck - - - DONE !!
- Thread starter griffinsurfboard
- Start date
I called the Subaru dealer and got a quote:
414.95 - windshield
$95 - molding
"Rough" total for parts, labor/installation including calibration of the cameras - about $1300 out the door (so ~$700 labor)
So Scotty was off by at least a grand. A Tacoma is just over $100 for an aftermarket windshield installed.

If Tesla tones down the cybertruck styling, as I expect they will, they will indeed slaughter GM with a $50k truck. Key will be payload. EVs already have a hard time with hills/HVAC/heated seats etc. I know that all the profits are in the pickup segment, but it's just not yet the place for full BEV. Maybe in the next product cycle.
Ideally you'd have a half-ton pickup (Taco size) with a small turbo 4 cylinder with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain and maybe electric rear axles for awd. That way you could drive in full EV mode around the suburbs/commute/grocery store but you'd still have ICE power to haul stuff and take longer trips. F150/Silverado size PUs still need a diesel for torque/efficiency/towing/range

When I was kid friend and I at two sisters house wanting to go for swim
Total Fast Times pool scene only the sisters had no brother so we had to borrow dolphin shorts. I am not sure why I did not go boxers or nude but I was only around 12 at time
Thanks, his range was 900-1400 so he sounds spot on. Last truck was 100% stock and I gotta say I enjoy the technology of the new one and it makes it "fun" to drive. If I you're driving off road or on a long road trip you just as easily disable the cameras with about 2 button clicks in the center console, or just put tape over them and it will automatically turn off. That guy is a little whacky but he's entertaining
To mix it with that thread about people p1ssing in bottles while driving, you could put it on cruise control, enable auto lane detect, and take a regular p1ss in the bottle and the car would steer itself along the highway while you hold your D in one hand and the bottle in the other.
Edmunds (@edmundscars) on Threads
We got up-close with a Tesla Cybertruck prototype last weekend at cars & coffee in Malibu, and the panel alignment (or lack thereof) with just weeks left before customer deliveries are scheduled is juuuust a bit concerning

I predict they are gonna be a short-term success and a long-term flop. The "must have" people are gonna get one but in general the high-end truck market is already way oversaturated, whereas demand for small and cheap trucks is red-hot.
I Saw The Tesla Cybertruck Up Close. It Still Looks Horrible
After seeing the Tesla Cybertruck up close and in person, I have real worries.

What's really "done" is the initial $40,000 price tag.
It looks like a homemade Deloreon body kit on a tundra. Like those really shitty Lamborghini body kits for Pontiac Fieros.
Bro it looks like a shitty “hero car” from all the crappy dystopian future movies they made in the 80s.
