I think it’s pretty cool and $70k for full-size truck that can go 0-60 in 4sec is great value. I expect to see these things everywhere next year.

Oh, and the cybertruck is one hideous piece of shit. I've seen better car designs from a three-year old with finger paints.

After seeing Cammisa's videos on the CT, I have to say I'm starting to like this thing. LOL.
Not big on the idea of steer-by-wire though...

$70K is the real price less a possible $7,500 tax credit + 3-years of fuel savings, which is $3,600 based on Tesla's savings math using 12,000 miles/year at $3.30/gal and 20 MPG (reasonable estimates). The real price is $79,990.

I really think its amazing design and ppl are not giving Tesla team enough credit for pushing whats possible. They could have easily done a dumb pickup design like a stretched out Model X instead they did something revolutionary - this is what separates Tesla from rest of carmakers. I wish BMW can go back to their design roots and make something special / futuristic instead putting some pig nose grill on their cars. Whether you like Musk or not - the dude is a visionary that is not controlled by bean counters like most auto CEOs. He is not afraid to fail and takes huge chances which is the only way to make something different. |

Most of the automotive technology is great, though I'd need a full understanding of the fail safe for the column-less steering system. And what are the design elements to keep the tonneau cover from jamming in real world use? The Cyber Truck site shows a track hoe loading the bed with dirt, I can see that easily jamming the cover. Worse is gravel. The mega mono-wiper might be prone to failure. I jokingly have asked what the HP of the wiper motor is, but it's a serious question. Is it a lever system, or direct-drive. I have no issue with Musk's politics, just like I have no issue with Mary Barra or Jim Farley politics either. Everyone on the left side of isle liked him for pushing planet-saving EV until the government of California ass-kicked him at COVID time. He got a real taste of how Government thinks it has control over the populace and it didn't sit well with him. He's an immigrant who actually believes in free speech and personal rights. Shame on him. LOL. Why that is offensive to Americans is perplexing to me.

I have no interest in EVs but something about this thing really appeals to me. Btw nobody can match Tesla battery tech and now most of the development/production is in-house which is important to control costs. |

I wanted to stay away from any Ctruck discussions to be frank, there is an ungodly amount I can go in on, but why bother... EV thread is enough to turn me off that thought.
Serious neutral question though, who here is actually going to/already has plop their own hard earned cash for one?
