Tesla Cyberpuke
Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
Another surprise to no one, the video of the Cyberthing beating the 911 wasn't quite the full story. It was 1/8 mile, not a quarter mile, as Musk claimed.
Which makes sense - the 911 would likely have reeled in and passed the Cyberwotsit if it was over the quarter. I imagine the drag of the towed vehicle would have seriously hindered things at the top end.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
i was wondering about that! I saw that an unladen CT did 11 seconds qtr mile and I thought there was no way a 911 would be much slower when my car did it in 12 point something....Alex88 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 11:17 am Another surprise to no one, the video of the Cyberthing beating the 911 wasn't quite the full story.

Why does he insist on doing these silly statements that just get found out?!

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
The carwow bloke was testing it on the Tesla test track 4 up and got something like 11.6 sec. Obviously bonkers for a big truck, but no way would it beat a properly launched 911 over a full 1/4 mile while towing another 911.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
I still don’t think the 911 was launched properly either.
How about not having a sig at all?

That, and his sycophants will breathlessly repeat anything he says, no matter how obviously, demonstrably wrong it is. And there are lots of them.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 12:34 pmBecause he's still not been found out for a lot of OTHER STUFF and he assumes everything always goes into that category ?

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
He did it again with a Urus and the Tesla spanked it. Interestingly they mentioned the Urus was better at launching but slower than the UK version; I’d guess no gpf ie no throttling of the airflow, and lower RON fuel as the respective reasonsintegrale_evo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:10 pm The carwow bloke was testing it on the Tesla test track 4 up and got something like 11.6 sec.

Just wait until Kahn & Mansory start work on it.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
It needs a big rear wing, something they'll probably fix with the Anniversary.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
Rear 3/4 looks great, the standard one looks really tall and thin and a bit weedy from the back. I’m sure people will be selling replacement plastic arches and wheel spacers soon enough…

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
It'll kill the range, that's the problem with EVs, they're so sensitive to every little change. Pretty much why Alpina sold off to BMW, no point making bodykits for EVs and getting more power out of them and I reckon it's why Brabus are going down the restomod route.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
That rendering now actually looks like something from Cyberpunk 2077, another design ethos which is 'the future as seen from 1983'.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
I know it’s a crap render but that lightbar which is cut into the 3mm thick bonnet isn’t going to be easy to install is it. Surprised they actually have stuff to ship next week seeing as they don’t even have a Cybertruck themselves yet or even the dimensions to design all the accessories for it

This made me laugh harder than it really should have.

The bonnet is a replacement made of carbon fibre apparentlyMito Man wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2023 11:32 pm I know it’s a crap render but that lightbar which is cut into the 3mm thick bonnet isn’t going to be easy to install is it.
