Why not include a winch? With gas engines a front winch disrupts airflow which reduces cooling. It also can require a second battery.
With an electric truck that shouldn’t be a problem. Why no winch? It’s $100k truck.
Yes and no.
Some people will buy it for the absurdity (Hummers) and that it looks different than anything else out there.
Also, Tesla has been a proven reliable product with drastically less issues than the other makers of EVs.
I haven’t watched the TFL guys in a while, but they do a pretty good job with their off-road reviews.
I don’t know. They may have it as an accessory eventually. They regularly ask for customer feedback and then implement it into the products or offer as accessory.

Here's the first Tesla Cybertruck crash on a public road

Yep. Car swerved off the road, hit an embankment, then swerved back on the road, crosses the double yellow and into the driver side of the cybertruck. Totaled the car that caused the accident, Cybertruck appears structurally in decent shape. No badging suggests it was a pre-production model being driven by a Tesla employee.
Had to happen some time and yet again reinforces the fact that Teslas are objectively the safest cars on the road.
You know the Cybertruck has cameras right? The details are already known to authorities. It was a 17 year old who lost control of his car.
I do know that, but are you saying those details are known to you/me/us? I made a comment already on who was to blame. My commentary is related to the physical damages imparted from the collision(s). Try reading before jumping to (moronic) conclusions.
“I’ve been wrong on $TSLA for three years now. TSLA has been my worst performing long during this time frame: down -19% vs +32% for NDX overall.
On the positive side, I got FSD right: That it would not to get to L4 for many years after Elon predicted FSD would drive itself and so I always assumed zero value for Robotaxi in my valuation. And FSD take rates have remained in the low teens even as FSD has improved significantly as a driver assist tool. I estimate FSD currently adds $.14/share to 2024 eps assuming a 12.5% global take rate, which is likely too rich.
Where I was wrong was on sharply decelerating TSLA volume growth - TSLA volume growth has slowed despite massive price cuts and EV credits. TSLA is now looking at just +15% YoY vol growth in 2024 (vs +38% YoY in 2023) including +13% in 1Q. Where I’ve been massively wrong is not anticipating that TSLA would start a price war, which has caused TSLA 2024 and 2025 earnings power to collapse (-45% over past 12 months). This has been my greatest research mistake. I always thought the $25K “model 2” could satisfy the affordability issue in MP-1 but the $25K vehicle continues to get pushed back (now late-2025 earliest) so price cuts to drive volumes were in hindsight inevitable.”

You're a weird dude @Phenomenally Frantastic
I've now seen two cybertrucks in the wild.
They still look like a 6th grader designed it.
Would get a Rivian before.

Hopefully rain isn’t in the forecast for Austin. Otherwise going to need to hire some extra employees to wipe all those down.
If it rains, no matter. Just calculated misinformation spread to scare people. Joe fell for it, of course.
I know someone with a Rivian, they like it. They were tired of waiting for their Cybertruck which is understandable.
Someone doesn't understand how surface corrosion works...
Or, that all kinds of environmental substances (bird poop, tree sap, etc) can be far more corrosive than 'seawater'.
