I can't wait to get my hands on one. It's so out there and futuristic, I'm willing to bet a lot of folks that consider it ugly will have second thoughts once it's been out for some time.

1.5 million reservations..... even if that translates into only 20% in actual orders it's still crazy.

I'm not saying it's not good, it's going to be awesome as far as an electric truck. I'm sure if I drove it I would be out of my mind loving it. But I still think it belongs more on mars than earth

Seems like a great time to get into some more TSLA before it goes up again.

Not much new from the earnings call. Cybertruck will be a trickle this year, overall demand far exceeds supply. Really nothing has changed, goes to show how utterly moronic in the short term markets can be.

Reason I love Cybertruck is the design is strictly to accommodate maximum durability. It looks super angular because that is the only way to form high strength stainless steel. No fake grille, no giant hood line, no massive embellishment to look tough.

Styling like that, though, is only good up to a point.

Looks are subjective and in the eye of the beholder.

​​​​​​ Put a giant police type bumper on it, and run over zombies! Hopefully there will be electricity when the zombie apocalypse arrives...

Looking at the angles I believe this car will be very efficient against land mines, traps, and plowing thru brain eating zombie mobs.

Two of my friends bought Model 3's that were just delivered. One is a retiree and got the $7500 credit (on top of the price cut) and the other one I'm not sure if they did or not. I'm just hoping these price cuts hold until I'm able to buy mine!

Impressive quarter for TSLA. I'm gonna buy some stock and just hold it forever like I do with AAPL. As a new Tesla owner, one thing I find fascinating is how young kids know a Tesla when they see it. A few of my daughter's friends (9-12 year old range) have seen her get picked up and say "Oh cool, your Dad got a Tesla." These are young kids who upon further questioning know absolutely nothing about other cars - 2 of them didn't even know the model of the SUV their parents drove... But they know and love Tesla. Interesting brand.
