The choice of cold rolled stainless steel was probably not cheap, but I agree, tons of savings.

I don't think it's just cult of Tesla that are willing to pay for this truck. I've talked to a few truck guys and they are drooling over it, including a friend who owns a Raptor. He's never owned anything EV in his life

 

I've actually started to like the looks...at least the front and sides. Last night I asked one of my nephew's what he thought of the rear...he said it looks like something built in Minecraft LoL 🤣 He should know because when he was younger, he spent hours and hours playing Minecraft. He knew the game so well, he once spent an hour telling me the history of the game, everything you can do and build in the game, and all it's cheats!

 

 

tons of people buy regular trucks to fit their world view even if they never tow and rarely ever put anything in the bed. so this is nothing new with cybertruck.

just silly, huh? i think your quote there is going to look pretty silly in a couple of years. these things are tanks and make a lot of sense as work vehicles. you can also power construction and other equipment (even as simple as lighting) with them instead of carrying a stinky and loud gas generator.

are they going to replace f250 and f350s? unlikely. but they pose a real threat to the 1/2 ton truck market (i think that's what they call the f150, silverado, regular ram, tundra, etc).

 

CT does not pose a threat to any gas 1500s. Minimal if anything.

GM and Ford aren’t losing any sleep.

That doesn’t mean they won’t still sell tons of CTs in general, though.

 

here's an austrailian neanderthal boomer ripping the cybertruck.

 

a lot has to do with gas prices.

my ev is 1/4 the energy cost of a typical sedan/suv.

 

I think this will sell extremely well, I actually wonder if they can meet demand??? What's the wait on these again?

Even I want one of these. Pending real world testing... I just think the design is really cool.

 

That guy bags on just about any new technology I'm wondering if it's an act to attract shall we say the less sophisticated viewer. Only thing that makes him happy is burning fossil fuel.

 

meanwhile, a sycophant's view of cybertruck - "tesla's disruptive masterpiece"

 

The big takeaway from this 50+ page thread should be how many posters here who do not have a truck are talking about the cybertruck. You have to get pretty far down the list of top thread contributors before you get to anyone who, if memory serves, currently has a truck. If I were Tesla, I’d be pretty pleased about that.

 

LoL I can't wait to see his "update" when he's surrounded by Cyber Trucks 🤣🤣🤣

BTW "Dude", Model Y is now the top selling Passenger car in Australia. "Dude" 😂

 

You're funny my friend.

My F650 truck back in the day would comfortable haul this cybertruck in the bed while pulling a large trailer. Lol


Add, well, maybe not comfortably if this thing weighs 6k lbs, it would grunt for sure but it would do it. Lol

 

Very good assessment! 👍👍

I think that was by design - Elon Musk deliberately designing something different to "shake" up the market.

 

I own a '21 Ranger Lariat if that counts as a truck. I've only used it for long road trips 2x and for picking up stuff for my wife from Home Depot/Lowes. I don't see a CT meeting those needs for me.
