Tesla Semi style drive units for massive torque
SpaceX designed stainless steel body panels (replaceable)

And a whole bunch of other things. Predictions of low sales are going to age exactly like they did for the Models S, X, 3 and Y. The experts said 3 would never sell, said Y won't sell it's a raised Model 3 no one wants that. Model S was widely predicted to be a flop (including by people here).

And that's not even getting into the "Tesla killers" that went on to be flops. Remember the Jaguar I-Pace? Jim Cramer effect is not just for Jim Cramer the more I see predictions of Cybertruck flopping the more I know it's going to be massive hit.
So THIS time Tesla won't do well. Sure.

 

Wow shocked by all the hate for CyberTruck.

I personally really like it! Its going to have huge sales for Tesla in US and hopefully
​​​​​they can make one that is SUV with fixed cargo area.

I’m very surprised how cheap it is. Only $70k for full size truck that can go 0-60 in 4.1sec It looks like nothing on the road and really is different than anything else. I can’t wait to test drive one and would seriously consider getting it as a family hauler. I thought pricing would be well over Model X.

 

I have no doubt it's going to sell well. A friend of mine who owns an F-150 Raptor and is hardcore truck enthusiast is drooling over it. To that me that's telling

 

And again you miss the point, which is the polar opposite... Another poster had provided the Model X as an example of a higher-priced Tesla vehicle not selling well despite being a Tesla. My point was this is the first time Tesla has had the opportunity to sell a high priced vehicle in a segment there's absolutely massive sales volume. CyberTruck has the dual advantage of being a truck and a Tesla, and I've consistently maintained it's going to do very well.

And unlike you, I actually reserved one four years ago.

 

How do you not like a visionary that has changed the world and how things are done in several huge industries. It’s almost unbelievable what he has accomplished with Tesla and SpaceX but ppl still think that he is an idiot with daddy’s money.

Our society has reached a stage where politics have prevented folks from accepting facts as reality.

Just think about the fact that ALL of the top automakers are now relying on Tesla charging network. That alone is a monumental accomplishment for a company that has been around for such a short time.

 

I think its pretty freaking awesome looking. I have no idea how it drives, but I saw one close up in my neighborhood (someone here must work at TSLA), and in person, it looks really awesome, for my tastes.

 

Think about how many ppl grew up wanting a Delorean. This is much better.

Huge props to Tesla for delivering on the Concept design which usually never happens.

These will be all over NY. The only issue is how to know which one is yours since they will all look the same. They should do a graphics package like Porsche and charge $500.

 

Time to ratchet down the pettiness

 

Noted and agreed.

 

Thanks! Had no idea this was the case. Good to know because I think the lightning is a good product.

 

I'm sure they will work that out. A lot of people have that issue with their 3 and Y's, which is why I bought mine in Black. But now I'm seeing more and more black.

The finish product looks really good, unlike some of the RC releases. You are correct about pricing, it's actually not bad. My friend paid near $130K for his Raptor, probably the average pricing of an F-150 is $80k, so the Cyber Truck is a bargain

 

It's a problem of Ford's own making, that up-front data feed helps get the inventory out into the market but it doesn't help when it comes to things like this. And yes, I really like mine, I think it's the best truck I've ever owned (I've had other F150s and GM trucks too) but I am very much looking forward to driving the CyberTruck.

 

Ummmmm that's every Tesla that's ever come out, and you guys know it.

CT is absolutely getting hate bc of Elon... He told a whole bunch of people to go **** themselves yesterday.

I have never seen widespread negative coverage about a Tesla like this, and this is the coolest one!!!

About the Ford Lightning, I still remember Motor Trend saying F150 is so good because it will become the mainstream one and people will love it blah blah blah, we've seen how that's turned out.

 

I normally enjoy Jason Cammisa's videos but this felt like paid advertising. Probably trying to avoid upsetting the Man Child and losing out on access to review cars.

 

He lovvvvves V8s. He used to gush and gush about them.... "Glass-smooth torque" I believe he said.

I feel like all the videos online are turning into paid stuff, not just him.
