Lots of good ideas and features, I love Tesla cars. But I'm way more excited for the Rivian truck, I'd finance that at 39% no problem. Might even get rid of my van for one.

Love the tech, hate the practically of the design. How am I supposed to load a cord of wood in there? A truck is supposed to be a truck. That's not a truck IMO. Can't wait till I get passed on the freeway by some 22yr old driving one lifted on 35's that daddy bought him doing 80mph in a 60mph whom somehow forgot to use his blinker

The truck lifts itself. The bed holds an ATV with closed gate, has a built in cover, ramp, generator and air compressor, and lowers itself for loading. It signals and drives by itself. It’s $39,000.
Yo! Ya might wanna look at what had actaully been said....

"STARTS at $39,900..."

Always...and I mean ALWAYS listen to -exactly- what Elon says.

Go build a Tesla car on their site...you'll learn, by example, that the truck you spec'd will cost more...

$76K for the fast truck with all options, long range, and will smoke a porsche 0-60mph...not bad considering new loaded diesels and raptors are in the same price range.

The Raptor will get me to La Paz (that's the finish of the Baja 1K next yr) on the race-course...during a pre-run and then I'll fill up in town and head right back..
So, there's always that. Laughing

Look, I like the idea. I like Elon's work. I like his attitude towards "Screw it! Let's do it!"
But, damn...that's a realllllly ugly design from the RoboCop movie franchise.
Also, I'm on the fence until I find out EXACTLY how far it will go.

IF that thing will charge itself with the available solar kit? STOKED!
IF that thing can get me from home (Dana Point) to my plant (Redding) in the same time as my current truck or car?
STOKED!

So, we'll see. Besides, someone I know will probably get one early-on and I'll just let that person be the "crash test dummy".
Cool

Very obviously not the final body design. Tesla released a rendering of the truck awhile ago with a far more acceptable body design. They rushed this thing to get it on stage.

The flames were a nice touch though. Surprised they didn’t have bikini girls and an energy drink sponsor. All it’s missing is a giant Monster energy logo to really tip the scales on the douche factor.

I’ve read both sides of that argument. I could see the x over and mid sized making a larger push, so I don’t disagree, but I think you’ll be surprised what’s coming in the next year....
No shit, I had no idea they were so dedicated to EV's this early in the game. Nothing wrong with that.

I think Elon baited everyone with the broken window mishap....smart mutherf*cker planned that stunt and has the whole world talking about it, and had every media outlet running the story on the "new truck". Who gives a shit if the window breaks when you throw a steal ball at it...does anyone really care at this point? It was a genius publicity stunt that achieved two things - it got his truck in front of every potential buyer in the world, and got his Tesla stock to dip so he can acquire more.

It's a numbers game folks...figure it's 50/50 of people who love/hate the new truck. The whole world is now aware of the new truck and if 50% of those who love it just ordered it and it will sell...genuis.

This is interesting...

From electrek.co:
"Elon Musk confirmed that electric ATV Tesla unveiled at the Cybertruck unveiling will actually be an optional add-on for the buyers of the electric pickup trucks."

It would be sweet if Elon came out with "Free ATV to anyone that preorders the Cybertruck by 12/31" or something like that.

The new Mach E they just released, In it’s “GT” specs produces 459 HP/612 TQ. AWD. 0-60 in 4 seconds. Around a 300 mile range on a single charge. Ford claiming they are going to have the largest charging network with over 35,000 spots nationwide. Super smart for them. They can control what it costs to recharge at these. They also are selling the chargers for home install. Also qualifies for the 7,500 Federal Electrics Drive Motor Vehicle Tax Credit.

Big Oil is coming to an end.

If you really want to go down a rabbit hole: The logistics and e commerce industries driving the need for faster delivery times and lower delivery costs will put an end to the trucking industry as we know it. E Semis with Autonomous driving features are coming.

Do you like your Raptor? Mine was a piece of shit that broke all the time.. my older Chevy was the baddest truck I’ve had and toughest. This truck Tesla made looks pretty good.. I would say having unbreakable glass and indestructible body is great if someone bought it to USE it as a truck and go wheeling. Unfortunately these days people buy a truck, cover the box... put 22” rims on it was Potanzas and go drive down the freeway.
Elon is not a genius, far from it... he is however an awesome businessman, motivated and innovative. He chases his dream which is cool..

This whole battery deal just isn’t going to make it. I want this truck with a 454 in it and 4 wheel posi, NO stability system, NO drive by wire, and NO traction control. I want to go beat the shit out of it, what it’s made for.

Part of me believes that Elon is trolling us with the hideous design. I think the concepts and ideas are real and will carry over to a more widely accepted shell, but he’s using the trapezoid for shock value to stir publicity. Hell, that’s what my smartass personality would do if I had his money. The truck doesn’t even have side mirrors. I could also be very wrong, but I guess we’ll see. For now, I’ll share this meme that I thought was hilarious and also possibly true lol...
