Sanjay Dutt flaunts his Rs 72 lakh Tesla Cybertruck on Mumbai roads after Dhurandhar success. Watch | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

Sanjay Dutt is known for his love for cars and after making headlines with his role as SP Chaudhary Aslam in Dhurandhar, he is once again grabbing attention for his new vehicle. Recently, videos of the actor driving a Tesla Cybertruck in Mumbai went viral on social media. A Tesla Cybertruck is a rare sight on Indian streets. According to Moneycontrol, Sanjay might have imported the vehicle from Dubai, as suggested by its license plate and the driving gear being positioned on the left side. In India, vehicles have right-side driving gear. The website further stated that the vehicle may have been imported under a Carnet permit, which allows individuals to temporarily bring and operate vehicles from other countries in India. The permit allows them to bring the vehicle for a period of six months without paying customs duties. It is also worth noting that Tesla has not yet announced official pricing or a launch timeline for the Tesla Cybertruck in India. In the US, the Tesla Cybertruck costs around $80,000 (Rs 72 lakh INR), …

What if Tesla made a Slate-like EV instead of the Cybertruck?

What if Tesla made a Slate-like EV instead of the Cybertruck?

Published by Webster

At last month’s rapturously received Slate debut, it took an executive’s quip that “Slate” and “Tesla” use the same 5 letters to shift my brain into high gear. I’ve covered the EV world for 15-plus years, and I virtually never spend time on counterfactuals. There’s quite enough to cover in the real world. But … I’m of the opinion Tesla could, and should, have launched a small, simple, cheap compact pickup truck—in other words, what Slate debuted—rather than the pickup it did produce, the Cybertruck. That expensive and polarizing vehicle has been, to put it bluntly, a sales disaster. Over 18 months, Tesla has sold only about 50,000, versus projections of many times that volume. Worse, while EV crossover utilities sell tens of thousands a month, the more expensive EV pickup trucks to date have not. The company that led the world in EV production for more than a decade could have launched an inexpensive small pickup that would have democratized EVs to a whole new class of buyers. Tesla likely could have offered more …

Tesla finally calls it quits on Cybertruck range extender

Tesla finally calls it quits on Cybertruck range extender

Published by Webster

Tesla has officially scrapped the range extender accessory it was making for Cybertrucks. In emails seen by Electrek, Tesla confirmed to Cybertruck owners that it’s “no longer planning to sell” the $16,000 battery pack, and that it would be issuing full refunds for the $2,000 deposit put down by customers. The range extender would have taken up around half of the Cybertruck’s rear bed space, and Tesla initially promised that it would give the dual-motor Cybertruck an estimated total range of 470 miles. That estimate was downgraded to 445 miles in 2024, alongside the original release date of “early 2025” being bumped back to “mid-2025.” The battery pack was intended to address disappointment over production versions of the electric pickup. When the tri-motor Cybertruck was announced in 2019, Tesla said it would cost about $70,000 and sport a range of more than 500 miles. The final version’s $99,990 price and 301-mile range fell short of that, as did the $79,990 dual-motor AWD model, with a 325-mile range. Tesla says its entry-level $69,990 Long Range Cybertruck …

Tesla’s Cybertruck is getting deeper discounts and production cuts

Tesla’s Cybertruck is getting deeper discounts and production cuts

Published by Webster

Tesla has plenty of Cybertrucks listed on its website, and they’ve got some hefty discounts, including many for about $10,000 off, Electrek reports. Many are from the 2024 model year and include limited “Foundation Series” Cybertrucks that ended production in October, plus some lightly used “demo” ones we saw that have racked up around 300 miles on the odometer. Some Cybertruck models in stock won’t be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit either due to their age or because the sticker price is too high. But as of this writing, interested buyers could get more than that with the available discounts, including as much as a $11,990 cut off a top Cyberbeast model that usually sells for $119,990. In January, the company offered up to $2,600 off inventory Cybertrucks. Business Insider reports Tesla is also slowing down Cybertruck manufacturing at its Texas factory and shrinking its production teams. Some line workers are being moved over to build better-selling Model Y vehicles, but it, too, has seen a year-over-year decline in sales as reported by …

Tesla’s latest Cybertruck has longer range and the cheapest price yet

Tesla’s latest Cybertruck has longer range and the cheapest price yet

Published by Webster

Tesla has a new entry-level Cybertruck with longer range, and it’s the cheapest model yet at $69,990 before the federal $7,500 credit. Tesla pulled some significant features to achieve the price cut. The new “long range” Cybertruck has just a single RWD motor compared to the two in the AWD model. It also lacks a powered roll-up hard tonneau cover. You can either keep the bed open or buy a $750 fitted soft tonneau cover. As a consolation prize for less storage security, the cover apparently gives you an aerodynamic range boost of 12 miles, according to Tesla. The Cybertruck Long Range can drive up to 350 miles on a charge, 25 miles more than the AWD model, or up to 362 miles with the soft tonneau cover. Towing capacity is also lower at 7,500 lbs compared to 11,000 lbs on the other trims. The interior of the Cybertruck RWD comes with textile seats instead of the leatherette ones in the other models, and you aren’t getting the rear seat infotainment touchscreen, either. At the …

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s pickup truck

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s pickup truck

Published by Webster

Here’s everything you need to know about Tesla’s first pickup truck, which Elon Musk has called “heart-stopping” and his “personal favorite” of Tesla’s vehicles. Pickups have become more popular lately — their share of the US light vehicle market increased to 17.5 percent in 2019, from just under 13 percent in 2012. They’re also the fastest-growing auto segment in the US. That makes Tesla’s entry into pickups sensible, analysts say. Another pickup perk: pricing. Pickups tend to be expensive. Even with direct competition from established players (like Ford’s forthcoming electric F-150) and newcomers (like Rivian), there is a ton of money to be made in pickup trucks.

Tesla says the Cybertruck is ‘best-selling,’ so why is it offering discounts?

Tesla says the Cybertruck is ‘best-selling,’ so why is it offering discounts?

Published by Webster

Tesla is declaring the Cybertruck to be “America’s bestselling electric pickup truck in 2024.” And yet for the first time, the company offering discounts of up to $2,600 on the low-poly truck, a sign that demand may not be as strong as Tesla would like you to think. The discounts, which appear on the company’s inventory webpage, are as high as $1,600 for brand new Cybertrucks, and up to $2,600 for slightly used demo versions of the truck. The price reduction you see will depend on how you configure your Cybertruck. The discounts come as the electric vehicle market is suddenly brimming with a multitude of offerings, from established players like Chevy and Hyundai, to upstarts like Rivian and Lucid. People shopping for an electric truck in particular have a lot of options, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Hummer and Sierra EVs, and Rivian R1T. But the Cybertruck is outselling all of those options, according to Tesla. How do we know? You’re just going to have to take their word on …

Las Vegas police release ChatGPT logs from the suspect in the Cybertruck explosion

Las Vegas police release ChatGPT logs from the suspect in the Cybertruck explosion

Published by Webster

They confirmed that the suspect, an active duty soldier in the US Army named Matthew Livelsberger, had a “possible manifesto” saved on his phone, in addition to an email to a podcaster and other letters. They also showed video evidence of him preparing for the explosion by pouring fuel onto the truck while stopped before driving to the hotel. He’d also kept a log of supposed surveillance, although the officials said he did not have a criminal record and was not being surveilled or investigated. The Las Vegas Metro Police also released several slides showing questions he’d posed to ChatGPT several days before the explosion, asking about explosives, how to detonate them, and how to detonate them with a gunshot, as well as information about where to buy guns, explosive material, and fireworks legally along his route. Asked about the queries, OpenAI spokesperson Liz Bourgeois said: We are saddened by this incident and committed to seeing AI tools used responsibly. Our models are designed to refuse harmful instructions and minimize harmful content. In this case, …

Tesla Cybertruck explosion: Man who detonated cybertruck outside Trump hotel used generative AI | World News

Published by Parlour News

The Tesla Cybertruck which exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on January 1 by a highly decorated soldier was planned through generative AI, including ChatGPT, police said on Tuesday. Matthew Livelsberger, 37, who carried out the blast reportedly had no intention of killing anyone else and shot himself in the head just before the explosion, the police said quoting his writings. Police conducted searches of Livelsberger’s ChatGPT and said that he was searching for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel and the legal status of fireworks in Arizona.
