Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the future looking like the future
As well to the community of owners whose adventures I've enjoyed and will continue to follow ❤️

Where we're going, we don't need roads
An email from noreply@x.ai landed in my inbox, passed SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and had the blue check
Something felt off, so I asked @bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check passed, wrote a report to xAI - including proposed fix!

First encounter - turned out to be a family reunion
Nice work! Godspeed 🫡
First Cybertruck in the world to reach 150K miles. @Tesla @TeslaMotorsClub @elonmusk @TeslaCharging @teslaownersSV @Teslaconomics
Guilty 😅 - In my defense, Factories are really cool!
Today, @arthurwallen2 and I were driven by the CyberCab at the @Tesla Gigafactory Texas. Besides being driverless, Art was also impressed by the huge trunk.
Two highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic engineers gave us a marvelous tour of the factory, witnessing the innovation and technology that Tesla is utilizing in this state of the art location.
Thank you, @elonmusk

Several Cybertruck owners in this thread sharing the same sentiment
Former ford driver and I’ll never go back. This thing is faster, safer more durable tows better(unless you’re regularly towing over 100 miles a day) drives itself way better ride and handling it’s not a contest. And I saved $650 on gas just last month. No oil changes far less maintenance overall. It’s not a contest

The best part is no part.
This OTA update enables emergency drive away at Tesla Superchargers without an adapter. Adapters add resistance, slow charging, and add an extra step in the connection process.

Emergency Drive Away lets you shift into Drive while still plugged into a Supercharger
A combustion engine is basically a heater that happens to generate forward motion
Moving to a Model Y was trading up - getting a faster, more luxurious vehicle while putting 80% of my daily driving cost back in my pocket, and it can drive itself!
Great to see more car people realizing the benefits and breaking them down simply. Share this with your skeptical friends

what a view 🤩
Love to see Cybertruck taking people out to such beautiful places
These 10 Cybertrucks just completed Black Bear Pass.
History made. Congratulations all!
Works as a hill ascent, hill descent, most importantly allows me focus on steering
Fun little switchback obstacle on Corkscrew Pass. @cybertruck Trail Assist is such a hack.
Cybertruck's wheelbase is 25% longer than the Model Y, but thanks to Steer-by-wire and Rear-wheel steering it launched with a turning circle only 9% larger.
After Elon drove one of the first trucks, he said - The steering is great. But I think we can make it more magical.
The team took that to heart and worked to squeeze all the capability possible from the hardware. Within a few weeks of the start of production, an over the air update went out that decreased the turning circle by nearly 2 feet.
"The steering feels magical" is still one of my favorite comments to hear from people who try Cybertruck for the first time.

The Cybertruck body is a mix of aluminum and steel, the latter needs protection from the elements. So we send the body through an electrocoating bath, which deposits a protective layer a few microns thick. The original coating developed was a wonderful shade of green, which turned brown if it was baked a little too long...
We developed a black E-coat which overall improved any gap read through by adding shadow, plus it makes the bodies going down the line look a lot more like their inspiration, the F117A

Suspicious that everyone agreed to "pace the frontier" on the same day WoW Forever was announced...

Cybertruck doors are notoriously tough - and they make a really nice "woody" thud when closed. But when the window was open we instead got a "tinny" rattle.
The glass was rattling in it's sliding channel. This was solved for the fleet over the air by rolling the window up slightly when the door opens so the seals stabilized the glass. As a bonus it makes a little Cybertruck profile.
You can still force the window to stay down, just press the window switch a second time once the door is open

Humans come in many different sizes and we placed the rear window switch in a location to try to balance reach of both the window switch and door handle.
A review of fleet data showed unintended window opening (brief open/close) typically due to someone leaning forward, elbow hitting the switch.
Realizing we didn't get it perfect the first time, the team improved this by moving the window switch forward by about 50mm and that seems to have done the trick

The aero covers and the All-terrain tires were designed together to have some really cool sidewall features.
The covers that shipped on day 1 had a rubber flap that would rub on the tire and leave a mark. It was not a structural concern since the tire sidewall feature had extra rubber exactly in this spot. We made a change anyway to both the tire and the cover to avoid rubbing
