I am starting to like musk. He has ***** and gives no *****. This truck is win win. FU to all the fancy designs and new sh!tty 10 thousand details headlights etc.
i have never given an EV or a tesla any serious consideration, until now. i would totally rock this thing. i don't want my EV in the shape of a car, i want it to be a machine. this thing is the future on wheels - a mix of blade runner, mad max, and the terminator all in one. i have a friend who put a deposit down in the first 10 minutes and he is right around #6000. he spec'd tri motor/self drive. i'd go dual motor/no self. i just wish it wasn't 2.5 years away from production. i am a diehard ICE guy, but this could change that.
Well, no one else did it so I did. Here is the #CyberTruck in CFD. What intrigues me is how well this works. While it may occur to be happenstance that the aero turns out quite well, I believe this was actually the result of very clever design. Ease of manufacturing in flat panels, significant use of triangulated body parts, etc. I won't quote a drag coefficient, as I dont want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I will place money on it being much lower than most sports cars, and any truck period. Further, I believe the vortex shed over the bed walls helps act to "seal the bed" when the cover is open. I havent modeled the open bed yet, but it sure seems promising. Further, it appears the front end is designed to almost entirely blank out / shield the wheel well.... The cad file is dimensionally correct, all angles and curves are as close as possible. There are some uncertainties such as fenders and wheel well air-exhaust etc.
Lastly, at 65mph the local velocity over the roof "peak" is 88mph. Is this the ultimate Elon Easter Egg?
