A good military vehicle is never a good civilian vehicle so maybe they need at least two very different versions of this truck.

@bloodaid GOOD GRIEF. Efficiency MATTERS. How is this hard for you to understand? If you can get one Cybertruck to the Moon for $10M vs. 5 purpose built vehicles for the same price which are you going to do? Besides the fact that no earth appropriate vehicle will also be suited to another body for a host of reasons--vacuum, extreme cold, extreme fluctuations in temperature, and so on.

It won't go to moon or Mars due to grossly excess mass. Not a chance.

@bloodaid Completely irrelevant. Do the arithmetic on how many DOLLARS per kg it takes to get an object out of Earth's gravity well vs. selecting or designing a proper vehicle for the project. BTW--Cyber truck weight will be more like 3000kg, ....680 LMAO!

@bloodaid Here is an example: If you could load the space shuttle with as much gravel as it could carry and turn it into pure gold via simply taking it to orbit and back you'd lose money doing it assuming the gravel was FREE. Space X is an order of magnitude less expensive but it's still ridiculous not to trim every ounce possible AND low Earth orbit is not escaping from Earth which takes substantially more.

@bloodaid The roadster to space was a dead weight TEST of the launch vehicle and has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. It was either that or a 'load of bricks', the roadster was more fun. If you think the Cybertruck is for anything but earth use you are in space yourself. Who here would purchase it otherwise? Get real man. BTW--the whole Mars thing is a fantasy, not about to happen. Try living off the land at the South Pole of Earth 1st, that's a million X easier. You want to demonstrated that for us?

@bloodaid The Cybertruck will be ancient history long before there are permanent colonies on Mars. I'd bet you my entire TSLA holdings (240 shares) if there was a way to see decades into the future. That's not to say I don't want to see folks try and, inevitably DIE quickly on Mars as they will in the beginning, that's how we learn but it's going to be bleak and brutal. No way it will be me, I'm too attached to an atmosphere I can live in, trees, running water, potent sunshine, life, etc. Mars will be an icy HELL.

A suspension air compressor won't have the capacity to do much work, it will need to be a much bigger unit to be useful on the job.

@adamcnessesq Impossible to miss, perhaps they will have an option for many of these things. I have much bigger problems with the 3 mm SS shell, first off the doors will be about double the wt. of regular truck doors which are already a handful if the vehicle is leaned much when parked as it will be often off road. Also the Frunk lid will be damn heavy even as small as it is and the entire front end needs to be crumple space, how is that going to happen with such ridiculously thick tough material? Finally--the cost of such SS is relatively extreme making a joke of the "saving money on painting" notions.

@tigeroll Yeah, NO. You really think contractors are so stupid as to not have already approximated that condition? Sure we can add welders, compressors, saws, machine guns, etc., but to to suggest the suspension compressor is going to be useful for much else is laughable.
