Rivian uses a carbon fiber bash plate for their R1 series vehicles. They also offer a stronger thicker version as an additional option upgrade from the stock underbody cover.
@@dyworkinghey genius, they were saying that carbon fiber CAN work, justifying its use in the prototype/production vehicle if it ships with that. They were saying positive things about the cybertruck. Chill
There's a lot of really expensive stuff that goes into building a Rivian. That's why they're still more than a year away from profitability. They've got to reduce costs in their product with better design. As mentioned in the video, the CyberTruck will not be using carbon fiber anywhere. Too expensive and not very impact resistant. It was a prototype part.
....and 11yr. old Boxer Seth Goldberg had better Gloves than Floyd Mayweather. Having 3-4 small advantages doesn't balance with the hundreds of DISadvantages
The Ram 2500 HD also has rear coil springs (and optional air suspension). It shouldn't be a problem for Tesla to get the sort of payload specs they're shooting for.
Rivian and Ram both use air coil struts and have great payload capacity with Ram getting awards for its luxury car like ride with the air suspension. Ram won the award for best luxury car in 2020 and coming close again to winning again in 2021 in part due to how smooth the air suspension system is. Most RV owners know that the best ride with the highest payload comes from air suspension so there has been a big aftermarket for air ride components as add-ons. Heavy trucks too have long used air suspension systems to get a better ride with increased payload capacity. Tesla should have no problems providing a good ride along with good payload capacity with their air suspension system. Best!
I just noticed that with the Cybertruck's tailgate down (to carry 4'x8' sheets of plywood), it doesn't look like there are any brake lights that can be seen by those driving behind the Cybertruck! I can't believe this will be the case, but I don't see how. What am I missing?
Cybertruck has up to 16" of ground clearance with 10" or adjustability. Air suspension is used on US class 7 and class 8 trucks so weight handling is proven and not a problem Class 7: Heavy-duty trucks 26,001-33,000 lbs GVW Class 8: Heavy-duty trucks over 33,000 lbs GVW
The F150 Lighting also has independent coil suspension in the rear and the Rivian has independent air suspension in the rear. This is not unique to the Cybertruck.
Don’t over-sell aluminium castings weight savings. Munro says for aluminium vs steel, weight is a wash (when speaking specifically about suspension arms). Bucket will be stronger, aluminium for body of truck is crazy. Getting rid of ladder frame more important, drop CoG, make entire vehicles flex free. Hence NEED for long travel air suspension. All mass-production BEV trucks have independent rear ends (IRS). Only converted ICE don’t. IRS & all wheel steering will be big hit for suburban / recreational driving.
The new Studebaker EV truck will run rings around the Cybertruck. 3/4 ton lower weight for the Studebaker and a range of 500 miles pulling 5,000 lbs (2275kg) makes it a no brainer for anyone who wants an EV pickup truck. Tesla will be hard pressed to beat the Studebaker starting price of $36,480. The Studebaker "SuperChamp" with all the luxury features has been priced at $44,900. This includes 4 wheel drive and the patented autolift system that gives an extra 8 inches (225mm) of ground clearance when off-roading. The Cybertruck will have some very stiff competition out of South Bend Ind. from the Studebaker.
Hope Tesla turns a cyber truck into a moon transport when SpaceX has people on the moon! Then it might be cool to have one! The cyber trucks seem kinda ugly. But I am starting to come around! No paint so must be better for the environment! That is stainless steel sheet for the body I think!
FART ! ! I developed a Hydraulic Sway System 25 years ago that makes trucks capable of switching from independent suspension to "LINKED SUSPENSION" and NO ONE WANTED IT - THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE CYBER TRUCK - how can I tell someone at TESLA HOW TO DO IT? ( and still get credit for it . . . we do live in capitalism!)
This is the first video I’ve seen that makes me realise how risky the cybertruck is as an endeavour. Mad to think that this product just came out of Elon’s brain because him and Grimes were playing cyberpunk
Sam, you said that the CT will use coilover suspension, but it's actually an air suspension, not coils, which is why it can be raised and lowered.
he said air suspension 3:36
Thank you for your review, God's blessings for your family ❤

Then buy a rivian. Rivan has some major flaws like water accumulating in the door lol. I'll be buying a cybertruck all the way

@@TecnamTwin I think Rivian has actually massively reduced their costs. They may be profitable within a year, but that is to be seen

Viking!! You MONSTER!!!!
actually the 2500 Rams have coil spring suspension with or without air bags for leveling but they still use a straight axle design.

There are.
The payload in the bed is 3500 pounds. The suspension at it’s lowest setting is 6 inches and it is highest setting is 16 inches
Carbon fibre is fine for deep diving submersibles.
Hold my beer
Haha good one
I'm surprised that Sandy and Jordan missed the New Zealand label on the shock absorber
They didn't miss it. 6:20

how close to a sports car/sedan will the Cybertruck be when it is lowered to its lowest setting?

The design department are disappointed in you giving their game away!
What do we think the mark up for resale will be?
Vehicle weight is probably a lot less important than drag coefficient for energy efficiency in the passenger car segment. Am I wrong?

I have a dodge 1500 with that suspension and I can carry a yard of gravel no problem

You had me doing a little digging there. It would not surprise me if the brand with nine lives came back again!!
When will the car be delivered to customers?
Elon promised 2019 so I'm sure it's just around the corner
8" range
Thank you for keeping your videos short.
Yep Sir!

sandy munro will say whatever
Doesn’t matter what the vehicle is made from, it is still butt ugly. It will not be a big seller to the usual truck buyers. Mark it!

It’s not carbon fiber, it’s plastic with fiber fill big difference, power tools are made from this plastic

it did not come from its brain is from the brain of many people stop the lies!!!
Is the Cybertruck design approved for Australian roads yet ?
That will take a committee of 1500 people and nine years.
No right-steering yet
And pass the crash tests .. maybe 2026
☝️😏, BOTTOM LINE: , what's the price?,,,
