More terrible range estimates incoming.

Jalopnik is mostly just quoting stuff from another article that was quoting forum posts. So its basically hearsay at this point. Still, its further evidence that Cybertruck's range is utter crap (and these original posts seem legitimate, as they originate from pro-Tesla sites).

How Musk is not in jail for false advertising is beyond me. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. What about boating? He claimed Cybertruck can be used as a boat. Stupid considering the damn thing has trouble getting up the driveway on a snowy day.

There's redundant air lines and valves in the wheel arches which are connected to the already existing internal tyre inflation system.

I'm not a musk sympathiser, in fact I massively dislike him. I'm just telling you that this thing is designed to float eventually with some external floats.

They did it with the M551 Sheridan and that's 15000kg

I mean, any car will float with external floats

It will never work that way. I'm also highly doubtful in the range extender materializing.

The cybertruck isn't going to sell in significant volumes. As far as I can tell, it's a halo car and an exercise in marketing.

I'd feel sorry for people who bought it, if I didn't know how much they'd paid for one.

They were warned.
