Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?
- Thread starter PrivatePilot
- Start date
The cybertruck reminds me of a bizarro car I saw in a movie many years ago. Pretty sure it was an awful 1980s movie and the car was called “the wedge”. It was driven as a get-away car and would hit and flip other cars to get away.
Can’t place it. Ring any bells??

I think I know the movie you're talking about: Gone in 60 Seconds II ("Slicer" scene starts at 6:43)

Negative, they are still too busy steering readers to buying LX model, secretary express, variants of cars, rather than GT models.
Surprised it took this long for someone to brodozer it.
Haha, nice bumper stickers.Surprised it took this long for someone to brodozer it.
Where are the motors in the CT? I would assume near where the diffs are, so you wouldn't need that front driveshaft, just an extension cord. I guess that is another issue with the off road credentials of the CT. Water above the hubs cannot be good for a submerged electric motor.
Cybertruck is parts-bin-engineered in terms of drivetrain, and that means subframe-mounted front and rear motors with CV-jointed halfshafts to the wheels, and independent multilink suspension all around - same as other Tesla models. Rivian is like that, too.
But the sovereign citizens will be safe!
Firefighters will already be impressed with the extra time that will be required to cut through the pillar with the emergency disconnect wire in it. There is a lot of stainless in the CT for the saw to chew through.
Does anyone know if cutting that pillar/emergency disconnect is a terminal injury for the car wrt insurance? I would think that the cost to repair that cut would probably write off most tesla's even if the initial crash damage wasn't too bad.
One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that deposits are a liability. They aren’t revenue.
If those deposits are being used to prop up cash flow, which I’m 99% sure is exactly what Tesla is doing, that’s really bad business practice.
Savage!
The only upside for Tesla would be that they most likely "forget" to pay out the required yearly accrued interest to their
But what is the "required" interest rate? On condos it's something like bank rate minus two percent, so zero for more than the last decade.
From what I've read, the deposits are interest-free loans to Tesla:

Tesla's about to get a $250 million interest free loan on a promise not due to 2020

it varies with what you're putting a deposit on. Current rate (it fluctuates) for last month's rent is 1.8%. No idea what it is on a vehicle.
