That information isn't in the snip it you posted. I think debate was whether Tesla delivers a whole package, the fact their braking is clearly inferior kind of supports that claim. I honestly don't care though, I'm never going to track a car or buy a Tesla.Ok......what did the article I posted say about brake fade because that's wtf we were talking about.
Since you brought it up the article also mentioned that the MS they tested didn't come with the optional Track package either just the base brakes and tires found on a MS Plaid and guess what? After multiple passes no fading, failure, or fires.
It surprises me that anyone would care about quarter mile times for a pickup. I've been driving trucks for over fifty years and never once thought about acceleration or speed as a criteria. The best truck I ever owned was a straight six, and I doubt it would have done a standing quarter in under thirty seconds.Raptor race:

I was driving on a mountainous stretch of interstate yesterday and a gentleman driving a pickup blew past me while pulling a trailer with a late 60s Galaxy 500 onboard. I’m fairly confident that the truck would blown the doors off the Galaxy.It surprises me that anyone would care about quarter mile times for a pickup.

Exactly, if you're an Elon cultist dropping $100k on a Cybertruck, then another $6500 is basically couch change.Ha ha ha ha.
WTF?
Only another 6,500?
I guess if someone is going to spend 70-100k
for that ugly ass truck, what's another 6500?
1988 called and wanted to know where you were. It is extremely useful for pickups and cube vans. I guess it is not common due to the added cost and weight.Elon Musk and Sandy Munro discuss the Cybertruck (45 minutes)
Ethernet over CANBUS is pretty neat!
I'm SUPER impressed with the turning radius from one of the sample clips:

Do keep in mind road salts can rust stainless. Not as fast but it'll eventually end up in the same place: a junkyard missing 30% of it's mass.It's an optional wrap. You can get it done cheaper at a local shop if you want, though it's apparently thicker and more durable than typical color wraps.
While I think it looks cooler in black, I wouldn't wrap a Stainless vehicle. The whole point to me is having a worry free finish you can just ignore.
So the Cybertruck range should improve with age!Do keep in mind road salts can rust stainless. Not as fast but it'll eventually end up in the same place: a junkyard missing 30% of it's mass.
I'm surprised that's allowed. Like, a rearview mirror is just a cost for the cabin. It's not like sideview mirrors where going to cameras could improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiencyrofl the rearview camera is fogged out; no rearview mirror for backup!

There was a pickup that had 4 wheel steering years back, I forget who offered it. I only ever saw one on the road.1988 called and wanted to know where you were. It is extremely useful for pickups and cube vans. I guess it is not common due to the added cost and weight.

The question is why bother with it? Added complexity and cost for what benefit?

Actually, rust weighs more than the metal rusted (addition of oxygen plus coordinated water groups).
Is the CT made with marine grade SS? Or boring 304 or whatever? That stuff rusts in my tap water if I'm not paying attention to my HP content.It really depends on the stainless type. There are marine grades meant be used, year round, in a salt water ocean. Splashing of road salt part of the year won't be nearly as destructive to those kinds of steels.

I'd imagine that the view in a rear view mirror in the Cybertruck wouldn't be that great anyway, probably better off with a camera. If they make it so it doesn't fog up or get all grungy.I'm surprised that's allowed. Like, a rearview mirror is just a cost for the cabin.

I have to question the logic of buying a huge vehicle if you live in a place where maneuvering it is an obstacle.For the Cybertruck (F-150-sized vehicle), it gives it the turning radius of a car, which makes it easy to navigate in the city, parking lots, U-turns, etc.
I could get to like it on four wheel roads. Having made my share of 32-point turns, that tight turning radius would be a blessing. Those old miners who pushed in the roads never noticed that trucks can't spin like dozers.I have to question the logic of buying a huge vehicle if you live in a place where maneuvering it is an obstacle.
