Episode Transcript

(00:00):
On today's episode, very specific detailsabout the cyber truck are leaked as we
get within two weeks of the deliveryevent. A clause in the cyber truck
purchase agreement looks to stop flippers frommaking serious money on early resales, and
Tesla makes deals overseas to sell theirsuperchargers. As the November thirtieth launch event

(00:21):
marches steadily closer, new details aboutTesla cyber truck are being uncovered and discussed
by the community. Honestly, it'salmost impossible to keep a secret from cyber
truck fans by now, and betweensightings of the vehicle at shows like Electrify
Expo in Austin, Texas and scalingdifficult hills in off road trails, it
seems that Tesla's security hasn't been ableto keep pace with the community's ability to

(00:46):
get more sensitive information, which isexactly what happened on November eighth, when
the YouTube channel TFLV posted this videofeaturing information given to them by an unnamed
insider source. The source was ableto give them a list of specific information
and images to help confirm some validity. Now, just like with any other

(01:08):
bits of information from unconfirmed sources.No one can guarantee that the figures presented
in the video are genuine or evenin what context these measurements were taken.
The hosts of the video say asmuch while discussing the dimensions of the seats,
where they very correctly point out thatthe numbers mean nothing without knowing how
exactly Tesla took the measurements. Butlet's consider for a moment why the information

(01:32):
could be genuine. Like we saida moment ago, the cyber truck is
due to start deliveries on November thirtieth, a date that Tesla seems fairly determined
to keep. That means that thecompany has applied for all its regulatory licenses,
the paperwork needed to actually sell thesevehicles, which necessitates having all this
sort of information laid out in aneasy to read format. Going further after

(01:55):
the delivery event, Tesla will likelystart openly selling the trucks from their store
locations, so it would be necessaryto send their staff a handy information packet
about these extra measurements in case acustomer asks. And as we saw with
the model as Plaid racing seats backin October, once a new product or
information sheet hits the service centers,it's much easier to leak out to the

(02:17):
public, so there is a decentchance that this leak contains genuine information,
even if it's a little out ofcontext in places. So let's just go
over what was in the leak andcompare it to what we know. First
off, the exterior dimensions. Theinformation given to TFLV shows that the cyber

(02:37):
truck will have an overall length ofeighteen point six feet, a width of
seventy nine point nine inches not includingthe mirrors, a height of seventy point
five inches on the medium clearance setting, and a wheelbase of one hundred and
forty three inches wide. Most ofthese measurements were either known or closely estimated
by the community already, although theheight at the medium suspense mention clearance setting

(03:00):
is good to know, if onlyso we have something to work with when
estimating the highest and lowest suspension settingsfor the truck. Storage capacity is about
what we expected too, with thebed coming in at seventy two point eight
inches long by fifty one inches wide, But we also finally get some conformation
on the size of the front witha weight capacity of four hundred and twenty

(03:23):
pounds and a stated volume of sevenpoint one cubic feet, half of the
volume of the F one to fiftyLightning's front trunk capacity. It makes sense
considering Tesla didn't have a huge iceengine cavity to make use of when designing
the cyber truck, but it isa little disappointing to see such a tiny
storage area for Tesla's truck. Thecurb weights are six thousand, six hundred

(03:45):
and seventy pounds for the two motorvariant and six eight hundred and ninety pounds
for the tri motor, again justabout what everyone expected. Similarly, the
toe rating coming in at eleven thousandpounds is also what has been teased for
the cyber truck for some time nowfor the dual motor. At least,
it's unclear if this number is alsofor the tri motor, but that seems

(04:06):
unlikely. Tesla originally claim their trimotor would be able to toe fourteen thousand
pounds, so we'll have to waiton confirmation for that still. From here
we get into those internal measurements thatare a little difficult to nail down because
we can't be sure exactly how andfrom which reference points they were taken,
but the front and rear measurements arevery similar despite the peaked shape of the

(04:29):
truck, and the numbers seem toshow a very roomy vehicle. Headroom comes
in at forty one point six inchesin the front and thirty nine inches in
the rear. Legroom is forty oneinches in the front and forty point nine
inches in the rear. Practically thesame space. Shoulder room in the front
is sixty three inches with a sixtytwo inch clearance for the rear area,
and finally, the hip room forboth front and rear seats is noted as

(04:54):
being fifty seven point two inches.Again, there's no way to tell exactly
what this will feel like without beingbeing in the truck itself, but it
seems like the interior design has allowedfor extremely similar experiences whether you're riding in
the front seats of a cyber truckor the rear. And to cap off
all that information, several of theimages provided show off some important features,

(05:15):
such as the ability to get atthe rear axle motors via a panel under
the rear seats and the inclusion ofa Nima fourteen to fifty power outlet.
In the bed that has two onehundred and twenty volt outlets and a single
two hundred and forty volt one.All things considered, should these numbers be
accurate, cyber Truck ranks somewhere amongthe middle of the field of its competitors.
It's got slightly less space on bothinterior and exterior spaces than the ev

(05:41):
redesigns of legacy pickups like the Lightning, but more space than the Rivian R
one T and in terms of power, the cyber truck seems very comparable to
all of its competitors, and ifthe trimotor ends up being able to pull
fourteen thousand pounds as previously advertised,then it should be right up there with
even its hybrid and ice contemporaries.Again, all this is if the data

(06:03):
is genuine, But so much ofit lines up with what the community has
guessed at for a while, andwe're so close to the delivery date for
the first cyber trucks that this dataseems fairly credible. Regardless, it won't
be long now until we see ateardown video or something of that nature,
so we'll know soon enough, justa couple more weeks to go. If

is probably one of the most hyphvehicles ever made, and with the first
deliveries due to take place in abouttwo weeks, early buyers have noticed that
an extra protection against scalpers and resellershas been quietly slipped into the purchase agreement

(06:54):
for the shiny new pickup truck.The text itself is full of very specific
legal life language, but the gistis that if you are one of the
lucky people who can get an earlycyber truck and you decide to sell it
within the first year of you owningit, you could be sued by the
company for at least fifty thousand dollars. The updated clause, which can be

(07:15):
read on the company website, isthe sort of thing that most companies right
up to stop dealerships and scalpers frombuying up the limited early stock of a
new vehicle and selling it for waymore than they purchased them for. As
an example of this, when thePeterson Auto Museum in LA held an auction
in October for an early vin numberedcyber truck, they closed at four hundred

(07:38):
thousand dollars. That's the hell ofa markup, and it was a Tesla
sanctioned event to hype the truck's release. So while it is a little aggravating
to be told what to do withthe thing you've just spent a lot of
money for, we can very muchunderstand why Tesla is being more cautious with
the release of their extremely popular newtruck. At last estimate, there are

(07:59):
potentially over two million pre orders forthe vehicle, which is a lot of
incentive for some wealthy opportunists to makea bunch of money. That said,
Tesla isn't being unreasonable. Among someof the first lines of this clause,
there are details about an exemption forthis rule should you have a legitimate reason
to sell your new cyber truck.There are probably a bunch of good reasons

(08:20):
to need to sell an expensive newvehicle, So Tesla is willing to work
with people who talk to them aboutselling first, and if your reason is
satisfactory to them, you'll be allowed. Otherwise, you'll have to wait a
year before flipping your early Vinmark cybertruck, which honestly doesn't seem that bad.
Last we heard from Tesla themselves,it's going to take eighteen months for

(08:41):
the company to hit volume production oftheir new truck, so after a year
of waiting, you'll likely still beable to make a profit from selling an
early cyber truck. There's been noword on how long this clause will stay
in the purchase agreement either, butunless you're buying a Lamborghini or some other
elitist brand, rules like this don'tto stick around once the vehicle stops being

(09:01):
so limited in number, so maybesummer twenty twenty five this won't be an
issue any more. Tesla has hada stellar year for its charging technology.
A steady campaign to get the company'sNorth American charging standard to be named the
actual standard in North America has ledto some unprecedented partnerships with major companies across

(09:22):
the automotive industry. It makes sense, then, that Tesla would hardly stop
at just one continent. First upon November tenth, SAICGM a joint venture
company which sells GMS, Chevrolets,Buicks and Cadillacs in China, announced that
they had signed a deal with Teslato allow their customers access to Tesla's Chinese

(09:43):
supercharging network, in a relatively similardeal to the one GM's North American division
struck back in June to make useof the NACS and Tesla's system of supercharger
stations over here. Making the deallet's SAICGM utilize NACS equipped vehicles in China
just as easily as they will beable to in the US and Canada,

(10:03):
especially once the company swaps out theirCCS hardware for NACS in twenty twenty five.
But Tesla wasn't finished. On Novemberthirteenth, EG Group, a charging
infrastructure company operating in the UK andEurope, announced that they had made a
deal to purchase some Tesla supercharging unitsin an effort to build up their EV

(10:24):
charging network from the current number ofabout six hundred or so to over twenty
thousand. This isn't very different froma deal Tesla made with the British gas
mega company BP for the purchase ofone hundred million dollars worth of supercharger equipment
back in October. That deal wasso that BP could add Tesla superchargers to
their gas stations across the UK.Now Eggroup is gearing up to do the

(10:48):
same, and this shows how savvyTesla is with their charging hardware. They
could have held on to it andjust made their own stations all across Europe,
but instead they've been selling their techand letting other more established companies spread
their infrastructure for them. It's asolid way to grow other streams of income
aside from selling their vehicles, andon top of all that, it's a

(11:09):
clear and simple way to ensure thatTesla's charging technology has a place in the
international EV consciousness and could maybe evenbecome an international standard.
