@red_shift @RatsTesla Yep, those are the ones.

@TwinTurboMike @RatsTesla These? homedepot.com/pep/Husky-20-G…

In case you were wondering…3 of the 20 gallon Kobalt totes from Lowe’s fit perfectly in the Cybertruck bed. Total price under $100.

@RatsTesla I also installed a horizontal shelf right above them in the L track. Works great, makes for a decent bench as well. cybergearco.com/products/tesla…

@TwinTurboMike Yep. Love them. Solid design and super waterproof.

@TesLatino I have a March 2026 Cyberbeast. Can confirm it holds above 100kw up to about 85%.

Two trucks, different charging curves. Original Foundation Series chemistry versus newer (October 2025 or later) packs.

"The Cybertruck is not a real truck" - Part 4 Traditional truck manufacturers love to boast about how tough their trucks are. Ford has their "Built Ford Tough" slogan, Chevy used to say, "Like a Rock." But there a new bar for toughness, and it's made of "hard freaking stainless" (HFS) and "shatter resistant armored glass." Those would be of the Tesla Cybertruck. When it comes to the body paneling, the traditional .8 - 1.0 mm thick aluminum panels of a modern Ford F-150 pale in comparison to the Cybertruck's 1.4 - 1.8 mm HFS. Putting a dent in a modern truck door can be done by simply pushing on it or swinging a car door into it, and not much more force is needed to puncture or tear it. The Cybertruck, you can shoot it with a 9mm, bash it with a sledgehammer, strap C4 explosives to it, and still not tear through. Denting it through normal means like door dings, rocks, or even hits from a hammer or bat aren't gong to happen. When it comes to automotive glass, there is also a huge difference. The armored glass is rated to take on category 4 sized hail (a 2 inch diameter), or a 70 mph baseball. In any other consumer pickup truck, you'll be scheduling your window replacement shortly after. Lastly, torsional stiffness: The body of the Cybertruck has a torsional stiffness higher than that of a McLaren P1 hypercar. That's probably 5-10x stiffer than a traditional ladder frame truck, where the cab and bed are separate pieces, providing little torsional rigidity in comparison. The Cybertruck also packs a structural battery pack at the bottom of the truck which remains ultra flat and further resists twisting and flexing. youtu.be/NASoPjWIrbg?si…

"The Cybertruck is not a real truck" - Part 3 The Achilles heel of EV trucks is that they aren't great for towing over long distances. Battery depletes quickly under heavy load or non-aerodynamic loads. That isn't to say they aren't great at towing though. They actually tow a lot better than a normal pickup truck due to the high torque starting at 0 RPM. The moment you press the pedal you have the maximum amount of power the motor and battery combination can deliver. In the Cybertruck there is only one fixed gear. It has a ratio of 15:1 and spins at up to 19,000 RPM, topping out at 130 MPH. That puts the Cyberbeast trim at 845 HP and 10,296 pound-feet at the wheels after the gear reduction. Whether you're running a 10.7 second quarter mile drag race or maxing out a 40,000 lb tractor pull competition, it's all the same. You mash the throttle and it just delivers. Similarly the quad motor Rivian R1T delivers comparable power. Both Rivians and Cybertrucks have been filmed dragging semis with trailers back onto roadways in snowy conditions after sliding off. A guy recently pulled his F-250 and its loaded trailer up a mountainside at highway speed. They don't struggle getting up to speed. You usually can't even feel the load behind you like you do in a gas vehicle. Electric trucks are significantly stronger than their gas / diesel powered counterparts. They are far quicker than a Ford F-150 Raptor R, and stronger pull than an F-350 Diesel Power Stroke. Watch the Cybertruck max out this 35,000 lb sled pull. It is worth noting the Rivian and F-350 are on all season tires and not all terrain, but even if they had more appropriate tires that 55 foot gap still would not have closed. youtu.be/Pj2jMhwKuv4?si…

"The Cybertruck is not a real truck" - Part 2 Though the payload capacity of the Cybertruck is only rated at 2,500 lbs, numerous people have pushed way over that limit. The air suspension has been demonstrated to keep up at over 5,600 lbs. I've seen two other cases of users carrying 4,000 and 4,800 lbs of bricks. The 4,000-lb load at highway speed. The bed is made of a Sheet Molding Compound, a fiberglass-reinforced plastic that is highly resistant to dents and also doesn't rust like a traditional bed can. Tesla has not published the bed thickness or the exact chemistry of the compound used but all informal tests to date have demonstrated unusually high strength. Here is a clip of a Cybertruck carrying 5,600 lbs of concrete. No squatting. That's 60 bags at 90 lbs each. Of course you should not do this for a number of reasons but it's a testament to the enormous capability of the air suspension system. Most trucks on springs, aside from maybe something like an F-350, will either squat hard or bottom out, severely impacting the handling characteristics of the truck. tiktok.com/t/ZTkgxSNbT/

"The Cybertruck is not a real truck" - Part 1 The Tesla Cybertruck is often misunderstood and dismissed by many as "not a real truck" but there are many things it does substantially better than a typical pickup truck. One of those things is steering. The Cybertruck uses steer-by-wire, a first for a passenger vehicle in the United States (setting aside the 2013 Infiniti Q50 which had a physical backup clutch). It has no mechanical steering column linking to the steering rack. This allows the steering wheel to turn using less than a full circle (340 degrees) to go from full left to full right. This helps with maneuverability. It can also support various resistance settings, progressive or regressive steering angle depending on speed, and a host of other programmable things not possible with a physical column. In addition to steer-by-wire, it also has rear wheel steering. The rear wheels can turn up to 10 degrees in-line or in opposition to the front wheels to make tighter turns. This gives a turning diameter of only 37 feet curb-to-curb. That's less than both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. In other words, it can do a U-turn in less space than either of those sedans. Similarly, so can the Hummer EV. A Ford F-150 SuperCrew with 5.5 foot bed, similar in dimensions to the Cybertruck, has a turning diameter of 47.8 feet. That's over 10 feet greater than the Cybertruck. youtube.com/shorts/cGnYQlI…

Tesla officially publishes the Cybertruck turning diameter, curb to curb, as 43.5 feet. This was the figure when the software limited the rear wheel steering angle to just 3 degrees. Since Tesla had updated the angle to 10 degrees I was curious as to what the new figure actually is. Today I measured it at 37 feet exactly. That's incredible for a truck with a wheelbase of 143 inches!

I have one. It's good but I really dislike the rainbow colored accent lights and the touch sensitive cycle button. You accidentally touch it often and have to press it a dozen times to cycle back to the off position. I plan to cover it with black vinyl to hide the cheap looking light display.

Something new going in the Cybertruck today. Charge ports and locations is the one downer for me in the cab.

@akari_ASMR Happy Birthday! 🥳

あの…お恥ずかしいのですが、実は今日…誕生日でして。ご縁でこのツイートが目にとまった方、こんなコト言うのも恐縮ですが、“いいね”でお祝いしていただけると嬉しいです。ぜひ、プロフに飛んでる風船も割って下さい🎈

@JustonBrazda They apparently have some $1,000 trade-in credit as well, making price a bit more tolerable.

@TwinTurboMike I would love to get those wheels, but I already have two sets of cyber wheels

When I got my Bridgestone Duelers installed, I set a trip meter. After 123KWh used, I made it 304 miles at 403.9 wh/mi. This is a mix of city/hwy/interstate. Just my regular driving. I wasn't trying to maximize range, just normal daily driving.

@NevrEnoughX Doing it often degrades the battery a little. The main thing is you don't want it sitting at a high state of charge for long periods. Try and drive off some of that percentage as soon as you can. Maxing out before a long trip or something once in a while is fine.

Ever accidentally set your Tesla 🔋 to 95%? Will this hurt the battery?

@TeslaCharging @teslaenergy Tonight I did a test charge of the 2026 (March build) @Tesla @Cybertruck Cyberbeast using a 325kW Tesla supercharger. (V4 pedestals with V3 cabinets.) The results were quite amazing. It charged from 15% to 85% in just 34 minutes. 20% to 80% was an impressive 29 minutes. 100 miles of range was added in the first 12 minutes. Charge rate never dropped below 104kW until about 84%. @Tesla is crushing it with their 4680 battery tech improvements and DC fast charger efficiency! I can't wait to see how it does on the latest full V4 stations.

@vad3rt3sla I have them in my X and now my new Cybertruck. 100% worth it!

Are the 3D mats worth the hype? I’ve always used the Tesla factory which is actually from Weathertech

That's great to hear! I can only assume they've begun loading these packs with the all new dry cell 4680s. I've got a 325 kW V3.5 station near me and am planning to do a proper charge test. Would be interesting to coordinate and compare results if you're interested. I think the community would appreciate knowing since Tesla is often quiet about these things.

@TwinTurboMike @cybertruck @TeslaCharging @elonmusk On my 2,000+ mile trip I haven’t seen it drop below 100Kw during any of the Supercharging sessions, it is fantastic!

@cybertruck @TeslaCharging @elonmusk I just took a road trip from Phoenix to Dallas in my new Cyberbeast, March 2026 production. Compared to my FS AWD Cybertruck, I found the charge profile was substantially better. It maintained over 100 kW charge rate up to 87%. Is this due to using dry electrodes for both the anode and cathode, or did you make other improvements? The drive was awesome—FSD all the way. Tesla, FSD, and Cyberbeast rock!

@TeslaCharging @cybertruck @elonmusk I took delivery of a new 2026 Cybertruck Cyberbeast and it is inedible! Tonight I went to a typical V3 supercharger before the battery could fully precondition and just plugged in. I only charged from 50% to 85% and was not expecting just how well it performed despite a semi-cold battery pack: 50% - 120kW (cold start) 60% - 130kW (early cold peak) 65% - 120kW (brief steady drop) 71% - 100kW (likely recalibration?) 73% - 104kW (climbing back up) 74% - 105kW (higher) 77% - 111kW (higher) 80% - 117kW (final peak) 85% - 100kW (steady drop to 85%) The new Cybertrucks seem to be charging even better than before. Great job @Tesla!
