This [drama-filled voting process]() has revealed deep divides on how some members see the agreement, who really wins and who really loses in the deal. Next, a leaked report by [TFL EV]() reveals a variety of specs for the new [Tesla Cybertruck]() set to be delivered to customers soon. This often-delayed and controversial truck has changed since its dramatic reveal more than four years ago. The specs, if accurate, reveal a truck that’s smaller and less capable than promised. Finally, Esterdahl and Ciminillo discuss the latest news on the [Toyota Tundra remote start SNAFU]() and how remote start should work. There’s a lot of discussion about remote start systems overall as well as the controversial monthly subscription fees to enable the system in some vehicles. It is worth noting, Esterdahl does a [Truck News Recap]() on Fridays. This gives viewers an opportunity to enter a raffle to win some swag as well as catch up on all the news they might of missed. ## **Talkin’ Truck livestream: UAW agreement up in the air, Cybertruck specs** Esterdahl and Ciminillo try to do weekly livestreams on YouTube, which are projected out to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. In 2023, they are switching to a Monday/Tuesday schedule at 8 p.m. EST, so be sure to subscribe to [the YouTube channel]() and follow them on social media for the upcoming live episode timing and topics. You can also catch the episode as a podcast on all your favorite podcasting software — just search for Pickup Truck + SUV Talk. ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context":
