Are Tesla Cybertruck Tires TRASH?

Some Cybertruck owners are complaining that their tires are wearing out quickly — like very, very quickly. One user reported that he’s nearing the end of his tread after just 6,000 miles of summer street and highway driving. The Cybertruck weighs nearly 7,000lbs / 3,000kg, so its tires are going to grind down faster than…

The Cybertruck weighs nearly 7,000lbs / 3,000kg, so its tires are going to grind down faster than a normal car. But really, new tires every 6 months?!

  Uh yes, my 7500 lb diesel I’ve put over 50,000 on my all terrains and they are only at half their tread life. And yes my truck has plenty enough torque.

Tesla owner here. I get about 35,000 to 40,000 miles on a set of tires that should last 50,000. This was a known and expected issue because the vehicle is heavy and has an extreme amount of torque which can grind tires down faster. So while all Tesla’s do this, the Cybertruck seems to be extreme.

Zero chance I will buy a cybertruck. I’ve owned multiple Teslas (3/Y) and love them so for whoever is curious on build quality, reliability, user satisfaction I can say it’s pretty high. Though I will never buy another Tesla now that Elon is totally off the deep end.😂

  @@joeleebristol yeah they’ve had problems. But in fairness every Tesla Model has for the first 6 months. Not defending it, just saying I’m sure the build quality will be fine in a little while. I still don’t want one though!

  I promise the c-suite execs of other car companies hold views you’d find abhorrent as well, but are just quiet about them.

  I don’t get the Elon comment though. It’s like saying “I’m not gonna buy Apple since the CEO is gay”. If the product is good, why bother looking at the CEO? You’re likely to not agree with many corporate heads all over the world, which would mean you’d have to stop using most of the tools and products you use everyday.

When you have over 600 horsepower (800 for the 3-motor variant) and a ~3 second 0-60, it’s inevitable regularly using all that acceleration power will destroy your tires.

Better rated tyres are available and cybertruck owners should be encouraged to upgrade. Not hard is it?

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

Can a pair of flashing retro tech glasses and some CDs sync your brainwaves, train your psychic abilities, teach you Spanish, unlock your subconscious, and help the CIA win the Cold War?

A project with a nearly 40-year history suggests that they might.

Dane Spotts and Zygon have spent decades blending their scientific visions of unleashing brain potential with a winding journey through technology. Zygon called it “entrainment,” but critics call it pseudoscience.

The SuperMind system claims to help you communicate with whales, meditate, and mirror a near death experience – and some people love it. But from the back pages of 1990s Popular Science issues to more than a dozen lawsuits, the reality of expanding consciousness, rewiring your brain, and boosting psychic powers is even more complex than it sounds.

THE MAN WITH A SHATTERED WORLD: THE HISTORY OF A BRAIN WOUND by A. R. Luria; Translated from the Russian by Lynn Solotaroff; with a Foreword by Oliver Sacks, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, Copyright © 1972 by Michael Cole. Foreword copyright © 1987 by Oliver Sacks.

“Zjoek/Zhuk,” written and directed by Erik van Zuyen (1987):

Lev Zasetsky could have been an anonymous human data point in history’s largest conflict — just another one of tens of millions of casualties in World War II, the treatment of which stretched deep into the Cold War. But his particular brain injury was so peculiar that he drew the interest of Alexander Luria, the Soviet Union’s most accomplished neuropsychologist, as Lev became a complex mix of scientific oddity and miracle.

Zasetsky’s form of aphasia resulted in him being able to write, but not read his own writing or even understand all of what he had written. It’s a case that delves into the earliest history of Popular Science and reframes our modern understanding of psychology, history, language, communication, and the human spirit.

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever. With professional-grade setups costing up to…

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.
