Agreed! I removed the rear seats in my old extended cab and could easily transport a hot water tank back there. In the CT, the rear seats should be attached to the back wall of the cab.
I saw another video showing the narrowest dimension with the rear seats up to be 21", while the larger dimension was around 30", The rear seats do not have a track, the seat is attached at the rear and swivels up. You could sleep on the floor with the seats in the up position.
Not by default and even still, you lost any kind of usability for people. Rivian has under seat storage (lockable) and a gear tunnel behind that. Oh, and a weight-bearing tailgate so you can put heavy stuff in the back for the full 7 feet of the bed. Sad
@@azsean73- I don't think the Rivian is sad. Rivian and Cybertruck are different market segments and I don't see a lot of overlap. Cybertruck has optional under-seat storage, but unlike the Rivian, you're not forced to use it. CT allows for larger items to to be towed in the back seat area. The tiny bed (54") in the Rivian R1T could be a problem for some, while the Cybertruck is a full 6 feet (72"). Lockable storage in the bed is also considerably larger in the CT. So each CT/R1T has a number of unique benefits. Get what works for you!
I want to install an electric winch on the front of my Cybertruck. Can you show the structure behind the bumper and evaluate the possibility of winch installation. My square body GMC has a PTO winch stealth mounted behind the bumper; just the rollers stick out. Would love to do the same.
I think the only way to do that will be like how the Lightning was done to handle a plow attachment. Basically a custom bar that uses the front tow hook mount points to attach to the frame, on said custom bar you can have a front receiver, mount a winch, etc.
@@AvocadoAtrocity The total wattage is still only 400W, so this is not nearly enough for any sort of winch. My thinking is that this could do as power for the control box for a winch connected to the high voltage battery. You could send and receive commands to the winch via that CAN wire. Of course this depends on there being available HV connections suitable for 3-10kW somewhere. A much greater teardown is needed.
Correct. You need some real power for a Warn 12k. It pulls about 320 amps for 12klbs so we are going to need some real connectivity for that. @@rlaxton666
What's with the fluid trails running down the the left inner fender? Looks like something is leaking. Does the wiper motor have a gearbox that's seeping? Brake fluid? Or is it dry and some staining that was there before the truck was built?
The same fluid is leaking down the side of my truck when I use the wiper for a little bit. It's only a very small amount that leaks out of the corner of the A pillar stainless trim piece. At the joint of the stainless an ounce or so of this brown oil has run back the first two times I have driven in the rain and used the wiper. In the video it looks like it is coming from the wiper bellcrank gizmo and not the brake fluid reservoir. I'll disassemble mine and take a look.
So, if I want to replace my cabin filter it's like a 4 hour process to remove the "frunk" and all the additional bits. Yeah, great engineering. Rivian is one easy removed panel and a cover plate. Neither need tools to remove. Speaking of frunks, what do you put up there? Couple of Target bags full of stuff you don't mind spilling out? There's not even a cargo net to help with the TINY space of storage up there. Pulling from the previous video on the break down, only aluminum or aluminum combo metals for under the truck? For a truck you supposedly want to go off road? No option for any kind of upgraded skid plates? Sad.

Im very interested on how the braking syetem works seeings theres regen braking and no vacuum line...Is the brake pressure fed by an electric motor and if a Tesla loss all power can you still stop it with the brake pedal as its free rolling?
Just connected the underglow lights to the frunk power outlet wires using a step down converter (48v-12v). The problem is, there is a separate switch for the lights, so if I leave this switch on, and I want to control the lights from the screen, when I turn the switch it cuts the power and says reset. Then I have to turn the lights switch (conventional) off, then turn the button on the screen on, and then turn the conventional switch on, then I can control it from the app. Once the auxiliary power turned off, I have to turn off a conventional switch on the lights off, turn the button on the screen on and then turn the conventional switch on and use them. Is that because it draws more than 400w when turning it on, then drops? Thanks
Confirmed with Tesla, both auxiliary power taps are rated to 400watts. Both are protected with solid state circuits, if you exceed 400w, they shut off.
@@TSportline BTW, there is some confusion about 400 W vs 2.3 kW because there are two places that mention 2.3 kW ? a) the configurator source code stated "Two auxiliary power connections with 2.3 kw output" b) ordering email had "Included Powershare outlets ... 6 bullet points then 7th says: -TWO AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTIONS WITH 2.3 KW OUTPUT"
@@HenryLoenwind I understand. However, it specifically is talking about the 'auxilliary' power. The 120v outlets are bullet pointed separately in the doc as well as on the Cybertruck screen.
Unlikely. Tesla has been doing it for 10+ years now (Model S) and there have not been any corrosion problems. It does require careful design, but it's done all the time in the industry.
Hey Tsportline. Did you notice anything that means its setup for an easy RHD swap ( calling from Australia ). Example would be is the wipermotor mounting interchangeable on the current casting?
Thanks for the video. That was very informative. Are the black bumpers made of plastic? I would want to replace those with steel. I suppose the aux power could be used for a winch?
Winches seem to use way more than 400 watts - so it can't be used for a winch. Maybe it could charge a battery used for the winch? I hope they add more aux power in the future, electrical outlets in the frunk, and programmable buttons for the UI.
@@pierre.a.larsen - Yep. A quick look shows several 2,000 lb winches requireding 1.5KW (at 12v). Perhaps 48v winch would be a bit more efficient, but 400W doesn't seem to be close.
Good confirmation of stainless steel panel thickness. Munro Live has a video about the body panel production process with some more detail on dimensions and much more information about how the panels are formed and assembled.
I had the same question - what does it take to get a control added to the OS/touchscreen for something like a winch? Other manufacturers like Ford add multiple free “auxiliary switches” for 12v accessories like lights - would be cool if Tesla added that to the touchscreen and let either the manufacturer label them via the BUS or allow the user to add a custom label.
Think Arduino. It's a 19200 baud network with about 16 data frames of aux stuff. Buttons, light indicators, etc. Good for power window buttons, door locks, etc. You could probably use software to do anything you could think of. Say you added a unit in your frunk to fold up a large Christmas train set with a Christmas village, and you put that out on display once you got somewhere. Then you could write some code to address all the different parts of your display. Say tell the train to move forward, or backwards. Maybe turn on the tiny street lights, blow some fake snow around the village. Maybe create an auto pack up or auto setup feature to open the frunk and deploy your Christmas village. Then use your app to provide monitoring from the main control panel in the vehicle and see what everything is doing out front. Not that I would build such a thing, but it gives you an idea of what you can use it for. Control and monitor on a simple level. No video data, etc. I'm sure you'd have to use the WIFI for that.@@whitlockbr
I wonder if the design prevents rodents from entering. My CRV '16 constantly has issues with them coming into the engine air filter and cabin filter and stinking up the system lol. Also is the frunk liner temp insulated to keep items from getting hot from the cooling system? Or no noticeable temperature shifts from usage of the HVAC on the road? Reason why is because I have powertools and like to keep my batteries away from extreme temperature variations from what is outdoors.
is there any possible way to route a small shileded cable (small diameter) though the auxialiary light bar cable grommet? Basically I need to know if there is a way to route a rather thin antenna cable from inside of the cabin on the outside for telecommunication purposes such as HF/VHF/UFH applications. Many thanks.
@@Greatdome99 48 volt is the standard for off grid power. you can easily find a 120 volt ac inverter for 48 volt, the problem is that the 400 watts is very limiting...might be enough for a low end dewalt 20v lithium battery charger
@@alainspecteur1At that point, it'd make more sense to connect to the 110 or 220 V outlets. Running a cable from the centre console outlet to the frunk shouldn't be too much of a hassle. The 48V connection is more suited for controlling attachments that are mounted to the truck.
Yes, if either a single switched supply line is enough to control it or the manufacturer also supplies a LIN-bus connection. (Or someone makes a universal LIN control box.)
@@BlazerRox I just think Tesla missed a opportunity to really make the front frunk more usable in my opinion, besides the Cybertruck is so delayed that you would think they would have learned something from both Ford and Rivian. Also no spare tire storage is a big negative. Both Rivian and Ford have spare tire.
@@rj8u they have learned a lot since then have improved it a lot. there just isn't a lot they can do with that frunk. making the storage under the bed deeper instead of being able to accommodate a tire tho is the one negative i have, i agree
Curious what the wheel bolt pattern, factory offset, rim width and center bore diameter is. Looking for the lightest wheel I can find for drag racing applications. And the lightest high performance tire. While still being budget minded, lol. I run a set of 19" forged Enkei's on my M3P that I bracket race.
CB seems like it’s going to be amazing for bracket racing based on the few videos so far showing multiple runs. Seems to get within a 10th run after run with no degradation in performance at all, and leaves the line super consistently.
The battery is only used when vehicle is off to power the computer, camera, lights. All the 48 Volts when the truck is on comes from the battery pack through the inverter.
I remember how much the model Y evolved since the first batch of cars came out of production line, The Cybertruck will be no different and it is already so well made ! Tesla keeps improving even what they have and what is great is that this company don’t have the ‘’Ah we have always done it this way’’ mentality
Thanks! We've had multiple customer trucks in so far, those we used for videos have been fully supportive. Also, when we apply a vinyl wrap, we take off the cladding, mirrors, etc so we can do a premium job.
Good info, thanks for the upload. I don't think the frunk ribs on the inside are stainless. Stainless could not be formed into the rounded rib shape. It's standard sheet metal.

You have been hoodwinked into thinking stainless can't be formed by Tesla. 300 series can be easily formed, just look at the world around you. IE your kitchen, laundry etc
How easy is it to get to the radiator stack that has to be cleaned periodically? I've seen videos of people doing that in other models and it looks like a nightmare.
I think the formed inner frunk piece is aluminum, you would have a hard time forming that shape in stainless. If it is aluminum that will be a potential area for galvanic corrosion, aluminum and stainless will corrode each other.
Inner frunk is plastic of some sort. Below the frunk are the Gigapress casted front underbody/frame. It is all aluminum. I am pretty sure Tesla knows all about galvanic corrosion...
@@HenryLoenwind The max ground clearance is 44cm, the intake looks to be 10-20cm higher then that = 54-64cm. When driving through water the wave in front of the car can be 10-20cm higher then the water debt, so the new max water debt is down to 44cm, when going at walking tempo. If you look at the radiator setup, the fans are under the radiator sucking through the radiator, so the fans motors can be hit by muddy water from behind even before the water reaches the intake height.
The "megabeam" mentioned @6:30 is presumably not the cooler, but instead the _location_ of the cooler (on a large cross-vehicle beam structure which Tesla is apparently calling the "megabeam").
@@Robert-cu9bm sure, people suggested that the back part of the hood raises up and stows away the wiper then sits flush again with the windshield, they even drew mockups of how that would work but Elon responded saying that that would be too complex and overengineering and i agree. there is nothing to show off
400 series stainless is magnetic...I don't doubt that Tesla (or more likely a 1st tier) have played with the composition to make it more workable but it's still fundamentally an austenitic stainless with a refinement rather than a completely new invention.
Why no mention about the filter cover tabs breaking? You can clearly see all the tabs at 8:49 and only one left at 9:47, snapped middle one at 10:14, parts same happened on Hoovies Garage's video where the snapped too just by touching them, that's poor quality plastic or poorly engineered tabs..
In Australia many 4x4 vehicles have recovery winches, is this possible on the Cybertruck. Certainly not from these tiny 48 volt cables. Would need to be high current 12 volts.
Front accessory wires are only up to 8amps. 120amps required on 9000lb winch. Main bottleneck will be dc-dc charger if not wiring directly to 800v battery.
thats funny cuz I always say ull be lucky to get one in 5 years if u order today more likely 10 years just based on calculating production based on their own numbers
Somebody needs to do a baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + salt (mixture ratio 4:4:1) spray test on the Tesla panels. If that doesn't rust it, nothing will.
Great video but I have a software or maybe hardware question, HVAC in the vault? From what I can see it’s not possible but looking at castings maybe if rear seat ports or hopefully fold down armrest removed (or rear window popped out)?
We've had multiple customer trucks in so far, those we used for videos have been fully supportive. Also, when we apply a vinyl wrap, we take off the cladding, mirrors, etc so we can do a premium job.
Great info, thanks for sharing. I was very happy to see there is power that can be added to the frunk. Wondering Tesla just didn't have time to design or if the parts didn't come in time and Tesla just didn't want to wait over an outlet.Such a great design to pull off the plastic to access the power. Guessing that's going to be a popular addon for aftermarket.
It's not intended for stuff in the frunk, but for accessories like winches, snow ploughs, road brushes, light bars, etc. that are attached to the front of the truck.
It is a 48 volt power supply, and there is no industry standard for 48 volt accessory connectors. You wouldn't want people plugging 12 volt equipment into it, so an exposed outlet would be undesirable.

confirmed, 48v
When you opened the door it looked like you didn’t have to push the button in at all . Is that correct ?
What’s behind the panel right next to the front camera?
Are there mountings to move the wiper blade and motor to the right hand side ? i.e. for Right Hand Drive countries (UK - etc)
Don't think so!
Does it use power steering fluid or all electronic? Didn't say if it had a power steering pump or fluid tank.
It won't have hydraulic steering assist - that went out of fashion about a decade ago. Steering will be by electric motors.
What is the communication bus of the 48V battery? Is there a video with more information about it?
The Megabeam is referring to the entire assembly of the cross car member with all the HVAC and Battery attached to it.
very cool, name approved
Is galvanic corrosion with all the steel brackets etc going to be an issue?
Good question for sure, going to take some time to see. But the non-stainless and aluminum parts are coated.
Unlikely. Tesla has been doing it for 10+ years now (Model S) and there have not been any corrosion problems. It does require careful design, but it's done all the time in the industry.
The non stainless parts are painted before assembly to avoid galvanic corrosion
Hey Tsportline. Did you notice anything that means its setup for an easy RHD swap ( calling from Australia ). Example would be is the wipermotor mounting interchangeable on the current casting?
Where is the emergency release button for the truck bed in the back?
Right inside by the power ports
Next to the passenger ejection seat (only on the Bond edition).
@@TSportline Thank you!
Thanks for the video. That was very informative.
Are the black bumpers made of plastic? I would want to replace those with steel. I suppose the aux power could be used for a winch?
Winches seem to use way more than 400 watts - so it can't be used for a winch. Maybe it could charge a battery used for the winch?
I hope they add more aux power in the future, electrical outlets in the frunk, and programmable buttons for the UI.
Thanks, yes, plastic on both bumpers. We will make steel bumpers at T Sportline
@@pierre.a.larsen - Yep. A quick look shows several 2,000 lb winches requireding 1.5KW (at 12v). Perhaps 48v winch would be a bit more efficient, but 400W doesn't seem to be close.
Good confirmation of stainless steel panel thickness. Munro Live has a video about the body panel production process with some more detail on dimensions and much more information about how the panels are formed and assembled.
CPU details.. Amd Rizen what? Same as Model Y?
HW4 with Ryzen CPU - similar to the Model S/X/Y today. Not sure about the GPU, but likely the same as the Model S/X.
AMD Ryzen
I wonder if you can get signals to that green wire as an outside business 🤔 what would you dream up to use that for?
I had the same question - what does it take to get a control added to the OS/touchscreen for something like a winch? Other manufacturers like Ford add multiple free “auxiliary switches” for 12v accessories like lights - would be cool if Tesla added that to the touchscreen and let either the manufacturer label them via the BUS or allow the user to add a custom label.
The green wire is the Tesla LIN signal wire.
@@TSportline well yes but what are the possibilities for its use? What would you do if you could use it?
Think Arduino. It's a 19200 baud network with about 16 data frames of aux stuff. Buttons, light indicators, etc. Good for power window buttons, door locks, etc. You could probably use software to do anything you could think of. Say you added a unit in your frunk to fold up a large Christmas train set with a Christmas village, and you put that out on display once you got somewhere. Then you could write some code to address all the different parts of your display. Say tell the train to move forward, or backwards. Maybe turn on the tiny street lights, blow some fake snow around the village. Maybe create an auto pack up or auto setup feature to open the frunk and deploy your Christmas village. Then use your app to provide monitoring from the main control panel in the vehicle and see what everything is doing out front. Not that I would build such a thing, but it gives you an idea of what you can use it for. Control and monitor on a simple level. No video data, etc. I'm sure you'd have to use the WIFI for that.@@whitlockbr
I wonder if the design prevents rodents from entering. My CRV '16 constantly has issues with them coming into the engine air filter and cabin filter and stinking up the system lol.
Also is the frunk liner temp insulated to keep items from getting hot from the cooling system? Or no noticeable temperature shifts from usage of the HVAC on the road?
Reason why is because I have powertools and like to keep my batteries away from extreme temperature variations from what is outdoors.
Good question!
is there any possible way to route a small shileded cable (small diameter) though the auxialiary light bar cable grommet? Basically I need to know if there is a way to route a rather thin antenna cable from inside of the cabin on the outside for telecommunication purposes such as HF/VHF/UFH applications. Many thanks.
The whole edge trim pulls off the roof, so yes
Unlike the one on the roof, the power line in front is in a hard-to-reach place. What kind of accessory did Tesla design to create this power line?
They are thinking ahead for you ... and future accessories. Dumb comment.
Road sweeper attachments, snow plough attachments, cow bar lights, ...
Lighting for one...
Of that list, only lights are feasible with only 400 watts available,@@HenryLoenwind .
Can you test a CB radio for functionality like noise in reception from wiper motor fan motors etc
The density of the packaging is very high, you can see that everything has been custom shaped so it fits in their like Tetris pieces.
Yes but all I'm reading from the media is how bad everything is, and everyone keep saying Tesla has bad build quality.
@@Fighter4Street they can ever get the panel gaps right exterior and even on interiors
Lol!!! What isn't packaged very well in other cars!? Wtf!
@@alanmay7929 I guess you never worked on a car before, you would know if you did.
For sure
Can you get to the 48v accessory wires via the access port?
Quite frankly, what would you do with 48 volts? Almost nothing runs on it except Tesla stuff.
@@Greatdome99 48 volt is the standard for off grid power. you can easily find a 120 volt ac inverter for 48 volt, the problem is that the 400 watts is very limiting...might be enough for a low end dewalt 20v lithium battery charger
@@alainspecteur1At that point, it'd make more sense to connect to the 110 or 220 V outlets. Running a cable from the centre console outlet to the frunk shouldn't be too much of a hassle. The 48V connection is more suited for controlling attachments that are mounted to the truck.
Not really, only if you extend the wires - then, yes.
Is the lens dirty?
I think the light reflection was an issue
So it is possible to have a snow plow controlled by the Tesla screen.
Yes, if either a single switched supply line is enough to control it or the manufacturer also supplies a LIN-bus connection. (Or someone makes a universal LIN control box.)
Eh, not enough wattage to run a plow. 400w is good for lights. Not plows. You'd have to go direct to the 48v battery, or add auxiliary power.
Would that 48 volt power a wench, is there an attachment area for a wench system?
No, that power line in the frunk has 1/10 the power required for a winch. 😢
Yeah 400 watts won't cut it
You have 400w to power whatever you can
Im still surprised that Tesla didn't put any 110 volts plug at the frunk. It would be nice to make a camp stove in the trunk for future accessories.
maybe there will be an aftermarket frunk liner that makes use of the power supply.
There's a 110v outlet in the center console, wouldn't take much wiring to chain one to the frunk. I bet there will be an aftermarket kit :)
@@BlazerRox I just think Tesla missed a opportunity to really make the front frunk more usable in my opinion, besides the Cybertruck is so delayed that you would think they would have learned something from both Ford and Rivian. Also no spare tire storage is a big negative. Both Rivian and Ford have spare tire.
That costs money. Elon doesn’t like that.
@@rj8u they have learned a lot since then have improved it a lot. there just isn't a lot they can do with that frunk.
making the storage under the bed deeper instead of being able to accommodate a tire tho is the one negative i have, i agree
Loving the design for easy access and rainy day bench in the frunk
Curious what the wheel bolt pattern, factory offset, rim width and center bore diameter is. Looking for the lightest wheel I can find for drag racing applications. And the lightest high performance tire. While still being budget minded, lol.
I run a set of 19" forged Enkei's on my M3P that I bracket race.
CB seems like it’s going to be amazing for bracket racing based on the few videos so far showing multiple runs. Seems to get within a 10th run after run with no degradation in performance at all, and leaves the line super consistently.
Wheel specs are here tsportline.com/blogs/tesla-aftermarket-support/the-tesla-cybertruck-wheel-guide
Can we get a closer look at the 48V battery and what is it powering up?
It's powering everything. The whole low voltage electrical system is 48V, so everything electrical uses it except for the motors and heat pump
I zoomed into it. The battery is 41.6V with 4Ah capacity (166Wh).
Thanks guys. Li-ion 48v battery I presume...
@alexadams1627 well, 41.6V, but it is close enough.
The battery is only used when vehicle is off to power the computer, camera, lights. All the 48 Volts when the truck is on comes from the battery pack through the inverter.
240 Volt AC winch?
well, that is an idea - from bed power
Is it a hvac pump or heat pump ?
The HVAC system uses a heat pump.
Can we show Olly some love for his hard work!
Olly is the man!
Excellent, it's good to know where those spare 48-volt wires and the filter are.
biggest question I have is where will a winch go, and is that 400w enough to power one being the wiper blade takes 600w....
400w wont do much for a winch; plan for another power source on a winch...maybe plug into the power in the bed
Isn't the frame of the hood aluminum?
No, it is stainless steel. Same as for the doors.
Stainless
Can you remove the wiper blade ?
No, it will be on your car until you scrap it :P
The blade, yes. The arm...yes...it is just bolted on, we confirmed.
I remember how much the model Y evolved since the first batch of cars came out of production line, The Cybertruck will be no different and it is already so well made ! Tesla keeps improving even what they have and what is great is that this company don’t have the ‘’Ah we have always done it this way’’ mentality
Tesla definitely has no problem blazing their own path!
Can we get dimensions of 48V battery?
Sound system, sub woofers?
Kudos to the owner that's allowing them to pull his brand new car apart. Frfr
Love the video
Thanks! We've had multiple customer trucks in so far, those we used for videos have been fully supportive. Also, when we apply a vinyl wrap, we take off the cladding, mirrors, etc so we can do a premium job.
Wow okay I'll definitely patronize yall whenever is my turn to get mine.
Thanks very informative 👍
Good info, thanks for the upload. I don't think the frunk ribs on the inside are stainless. Stainless could not be formed into the rounded rib shape. It's standard sheet metal.
So, if I want to replace my cabin filter it's like a 4 hour process to remove the "frunk" and all the additional bits. Yeah, great engineering. Rivian is one easy removed panel and a cover plate. Neither need tools to remove.
Speaking of frunks, what do you put up there? Couple of Target bags full of stuff you don't mind spilling out? There's not even a cargo net to help with the TINY space of storage up there. Pulling from the previous video on the break down, only aluminum or aluminum combo metals for under the truck? For a truck you supposedly want to go off road? No option for any kind of upgraded skid plates? Sad. And speaking of off roading, can't install larger tires without some sort of really custom lift kit or hardware change kit to remove the exposed bolt ends?
This was a truck engineered by car makers who don't know anything about going off road. Not their fault. I blame Elon and unbeatable time-lines.
Also, rear wheel steering on an off-road truck? If so, you had better beef it up a LOT more than they did. Again, car makers making trucks.
Dont forget the 48v auxiliary lol how many useful 48v accessorys are on the market........ things a joke@azsean73
It is stainless steel and it can be formed, it's thinner and not hardened like the exterior panels.
Thanks, yes - they are thin wall stainless
You have been hoodwinked into thinking stainless can't be formed by Tesla.
300 series can be easily formed, just look at the world around you. IE your kitchen, laundry etc
How easy is it to get to the radiator stack that has to be cleaned periodically? I've seen videos of people doing that in other models and it looks like a nightmare.
It isn't hard to get to!
The large labeled rectangular item is a liquid to liquid Flat Plate Heat Exchanger, I sometimes use them in house heating Hot water floor systems.
I think the formed inner frunk piece is aluminum, you would have a hard time forming that shape in stainless. If it is aluminum that will be a potential area for galvanic corrosion, aluminum and stainless will corrode each other.
Inner frunk is plastic of some sort. Below the frunk are the Gigapress casted front underbody/frame. It is all aluminum. I am pretty sure Tesla knows all about galvanic corrosion...
@@pierre.a.larsen Sorry I meant the inner piece of the front hood attached to the stainless steel skin.
It's stainless steel, there are no issues with forming as it's much thinner and not cold worked like the exterior panels.
It is indeed stainless
You don't get problems with stainless and aluminium.
Stainless is not a very reactive metal.
So if someone travel through some muddy waters the radiator will get clogged up dramatically
Just like 90% of all other cars on the road.
@@larsjrgensen5975Nah, when in wade mode, the radiator sits much higher than in those 90% other cars.
@@HenryLoenwind The max ground clearance is 44cm, the intake looks to be 10-20cm higher then that = 54-64cm.
When driving through water the wave in front of the car can be 10-20cm higher then the water debt, so the new max water debt is down to 44cm, when going at walking tempo.
If you look at the radiator setup, the fans are under the radiator sucking through the radiator, so the fans motors can be hit by muddy water from behind even before the water reaches the intake height.
Yes, be careful
Perhaps the front air shutters close when in wade mode. Should be easy to test.
The "megabeam" mentioned @6:30 is presumably not the cooler, but instead the _location_ of the cooler (on a large cross-vehicle beam structure which Tesla is apparently calling the "megabeam").
Thank you very much !
That was very interesting!
Thanks for watching
still find the wiper blade funny. wonder why they designed it to stay upright position instead of tucked below the windshield
can't be "tucked below" the windshield as the hood sits flush with the windshield. its upright for drag purposes.
The wiper is crazy big
While it doesn't seem intutive, the smooth hood to windshield design reduces drag. The wiper on the side actually helps with airflow too.
@@a-don13
That's bad design, they could have designed the hood to accommodate it.
It's probably more aesthetics to show of the size.
@@Robert-cu9bm sure, people suggested that the back part of the hood raises up and stows away the wiper then sits flush again with the windshield, they even drew mockups of how that would work but Elon responded saying that that would be too complex and overengineering and i agree. there is nothing to show off
I'd like to see a stainless Model 3. It might make sense to replace/repair battery packs if the car lasts 10+ years.
That would be cool!
Very informative
Thanks guys!
Nice, good air to breath, might as well get a system to bring pure water in for drinking from the humidity in the air.
it is a big filter, for sure
Where is the 48V low voltage battery?
center of truck, right in front of windshield
@@TSportline huh, is it in the video?
Where is the 48v battery?
The battery is on the cross car beam that he showed. It is a small lithium battery with 166Wh of capacity at 41.6V.
in the center under the windshield
You are feeding air through the front bumper, winter road salt and Sand will make a pretty mess.
All Teslas have an air intake in the front bumper.
Around 90% of all cars do this, why should the Cybertruck be different?
It wont be as bas as you'd think. Most all cars do this.
you didn't show that the jump points were live with 48v like you said you would
They are live, we checked!
Are these headlights matrix leds? Looks like you can access them with what you took apart.
400 series stainless is magnetic...I don't doubt that Tesla (or more likely a 1st tier) have played with the composition to make it more workable but it's still fundamentally an austenitic stainless with a refinement rather than a completely new invention.
Pretty confident this is along the lines of 300 series...
Great video!😊
Thank you!
Why no mention about the filter cover tabs breaking? You can clearly see all the tabs at 8:49 and only one left at 9:47, snapped middle one at 10:14, parts same happened on Hoovies Garage's
video where the snapped too just by touching them, that's poor quality plastic or poorly engineered tabs..
My cabin filter doesn't have screws
What is this automobile for?
We can think of a few things!
@@TSportline I can't.
Release a video showcasing the disassembly of doorpanel :)
In Australia many 4x4 vehicles have recovery winches, is this possible on the Cybertruck. Certainly not from these tiny 48 volt cables. Would need to be high current 12 volts.
Front accessory wires are only up to 8amps. 120amps required on 9000lb winch. Main bottleneck will be dc-dc charger if not wiring directly to 800v battery.
400w is available, not much.
Seems like one could have rear winch, using the 240VAC connection, would have plenty of power.
Wow amazing how it build
It is cool
Appreciate your work guys and the explanation that goes along with your discoveries.
Thanks for watching!
You guys are going to sell a ton of those steelies. They look great.
Thanks, they are cool!
Really want to see a 120v outlet in the frunk
That would we cool!
I keep imagining a 10 year old cybertruck with a nice patina of oxidation on it's external steel, but still structurally sound.
thats funny cuz I always say ull be lucky to get one in 5 years if u order today more likely 10 years just based on calculating production based on their own numbers
Cool
It shouldn't oxidize at all. The 40 year old Delorians (also with stainless steel body), look fine today.
Somebody needs to do a baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + salt (mixture ratio 4:4:1) spray test on the Tesla panels. If that doesn't rust it, nothing will.
Great video but I have a software or maybe hardware question, HVAC in the vault? From what I can see it’s not possible but looking at castings maybe if rear seat ports or hopefully fold down armrest removed (or rear window popped out)?
no
Cool 😎 I want one 💯
Yes!
does this cybertruck belong to your customer?
We've had multiple customer trucks in so far, those we used for videos have been fully supportive. Also, when we apply a vinyl wrap, we take off the cladding, mirrors, etc so we can do a premium job.
Now I need a winch bumper aftermarket and a 48v winch?????
Bring on 48v!
i probably would bring 240 volt from the rear all the way to the front and feed a 240 volt industrial winch. at 20 amp you would have a 5 KW winch.
If you can live with 400W max (close to 0.5HP)
A good hand drill would be able to match that winch strength.
I spy Rivian logo on T Sportline gear. Like it!
Ha ha, yes...check our our other site, EVSportline.com
Where’s that whistle diesel kid at for this?
That will be a good one!
Take the bumper, liners, headlights, impact bars front and rear off so we can see the structural crash safety stuff. Go nuts on it
Ha ha, we'll see what we can do!
Its definitely better looking with the front trunk open. Just dont catch you're elbows on the razer sharp pointed wingblades😅.
Ha!
Drop a 48v to 120v inverter right in there. Maybe some of the tool companies like Milwaukee will make chargers that take 48v in.
48v, coming in hot!
A 120 outlet in the frunk should have been included and would be a great option!
Great info, thanks for sharing. I was very happy to see there is power that can be added to the frunk. Wondering Tesla just didn't have time to design or if the parts didn't come in time and Tesla just didn't want to wait over an outlet.Such a great design to pull off the plastic to access the power. Guessing that's going to be a popular addon for aftermarket.
It's not intended for stuff in the frunk, but for accessories like winches, snow ploughs, road brushes, light bars, etc. that are attached to the front of the truck.
Thanks - we will have a lot coming!
It is a 48 volt power supply, and there is no industry standard for 48 volt accessory connectors. You wouldn't want people plugging 12 volt equipment into it, so an exposed outlet would be undesirable.
Of course it is easier to get to than previous models, iteration is the name of their game!
yes
Nice wheels
Well, thank you!
