Tesla Cyber Truck

[rero360]

I didn’t see a tread about the truck here.

I got talking about this with a buddy, seeing how people are supposing that this is a prototype for a Mars rover, could the Cyber Truck be EMP proof? Faraday cages are basically metal boxes, and the truck is basically the same thing, I would imagine the electronics of the vehicle are isolated from the body and the only question is the windows, but perhaps the material chosen for the windows and their design might lend to maintaining the integrity of a faraday cage with the body.

I know that Mars doesn’t offer the same protections that Earth does from radiation and all that from the Sun and other galactic sources, thus electronics there need to be hardened so they don’t get fried.

Just a thought from a BS session over beers, what do you all think?

I don’t know, but I want one.

100% this.

Tesla is a terrible company with terrible products. Anyone seriously considering them should do their due diligence and research before buying into them.

The Cyber Truck looks awful. It looks like a silly vehicle from a 1980 movie about the future.

What sort of problems have you had with yours?

I don’t own one. Nor would I purchase one. I know some engineers and techs at Tesla, who have shared a bit of info, but most of it can be searched on the internet.

A summary:

-auto drive that doesn’t aknowledge parked/non moving vehicles
-highest fatality rate for any luxury’s manufacturer
-one of the highest crash rates
-a mix of medium and very poor components. Overall quality below industry standards
-rattling that will not go away
-high insurance premiums
-high maintenance costs
-slow turnaround at service centers
-catastrophic power steering failure
-Tesla batteries are poor quality, cold weather affects their efficacy
-Eli and Tesla lie about their high rate of accidents being of known causes without fixes in the pipeline
-bad customer service. Abysmal, really.

Tesla exists on subsidies and “cool factor”. They are not fiscally sound even in a booming economy.

Couple that with how they beta test everything on the people who buy their products first, the solar city debaucle, a poorly run company overall - and you’ve got some serious issues that get mostly ignored instead of dealt with.

I wouldn’t want to be holding the bag on owning any of their shit when they go out of business.

Dude... WTF??!! I came here to actually talk Tesla vs Rivian vs Ford/GM, and its about Mars and EMP's?

Ok; so if Mars has 1/3 Gravity of earth, it kinda throws off ALL the mechanical engineering. So that's a waste. Mars also has 1/100th the atmosphere, so are you suggesting the T truck has some kinda pressurization features? Oh yea and Mars is also colder than antarctica on a bad night.... You see 2 feet of insulation in the thing? Lastly space vehicles don't have a ton of insulation against Radiation, because that would add Mass. The enemy of space flight. For human missions its simply a function of duration. Limiting exposure especially during high periods by going under ground, or simply not being off earth.

Hate to be a heart breaker, but humans WILL not be visiting mars in ANY capacity in the next 100 years. The moon is the ONLY place we belong off earth, for the foreseeable 500 years.

Truck engine development should have stopped at the 12v Cummins.


I said it.
