I think CT is going to sell like crazy. I can't wait to see it.
until this tank's sharp corners impale people or make them as flat as a pizza on the road.

love tesla's quest for uniqueness and innovation but this is up there with (imo) the ugliest car i've ever seen and i don't want to see parking lots and roads full of them.

but you're probably right, assuming of course, tesla can actually build them in big numbers any time soon.

It actually looks really cool in this video. The attention this vehicle gets is like when someone pulls up in a plus million exotic. I still don't like it's design, but I think it's going to do really well. What's funny is it's not a traditional truck in any sense of the word, but I've heard several hardcore truck owners say they want one

I don't personally find it ugly it all. It's unique. It's polarizing. Maybe strange to some as there has never been anything even remotely close to looking like this. I think people are going to customize them and I think it's going to be the hottest vehicle (demand) on the market.

good video with walk around and lots of public impressions.

some say it looks bigger than they thought in person, and some say smaller.

I have a friend who's an F-150 Raptor owner, so he's a hardcore truck owner, and he has a reservation for the Cyber Truck. That's telling to me

I hear ya!

Some days I like it and some days I hate it. Lol

Only thing I fear about the design is if it's too "trendy" and how well it will age.

Another words, will it be like paisly ties and bell bottoms or will it set a new forward design standard.

The level of quality with the uniform and tight panel gaps is very encouraging so far.

November 30 is almost here! Thanks for posting that video!

I like the shape and the sheen of it but not the wheels.

Tesla sends out official tickets for the Cybertruck delivery event

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tick...elivery-event/

Tesla has sent emails with official tickets to those invited to this week’s Cybertruck delivery event, as seen in a few screenshots on social media.

The upcoming Cybertruck delivery event is to be held on Thursday, and those who have been invited are reportedly receiving emails with official ticket stubs, as posted on X by several who are expected to attend. Separate ticket screenshots were shared on X on Tuesday from Sawyer Merritt, Omar of Whole Mars Blog, Dirty Tesla and others, still.

Initial invites for the Cybertruck delivery event began going out on November 14, though the recent emails appear to act as tickets for attendees.

In the screenshot from Merritt and those from others, you can see that the tickets show how attendees got access to the limited-capacity Cybertruck event in the “Pass Type” section, with many, including Sawyer, getting in through referral credits. The ticket includes a small divet like in a real ticket stub, as well as the fact that the event will be held at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.

You can see the screenshots from the aforementioned attendees below, as sent to each individuals’ email

The event is set to get started around 1:00 p.m. CT on Thursday, according to Investor Relations head Martin Viecha, while the main presentation is expected to start at about 2:00 p.m. CT, per a post from Tesla’s Cybertruck page on X.

It’s still unclear how Tesla plans to price the Cybertruck, and the automaker has yet to share pricing or configuration information about the vehicle, all of which are now expected to be unveiled at the event.

Ahead of the event and amidst speculation as to how many Cybertrucks Tesla plans to deliver, around 25 of the vehicles have been spotted at Giga Texas. The unique electric pickups have also been appearing at Tesla showrooms across the U.S., drawing in massive crowds as individuals await their chance to see the Cybertruck in person.

Hopefully they will also provide pricing, but with Tesla's current pricing structure this could change on a daily basis depending on demand.

I've seen some recent things that suggest that's the case.

And I'm not trying to start anything, if I wanted to argue with people I'd go to the Acura boards where they're all jerks.
