Tesla Cyber Truck event live now

To buy an electric truck and to think its towing capacity won’t be severely affected is just plain, delusional.

Have you met some EV owners?

I haven't in person. I tend to sick with the rebel crowd....

The problem with EV towing is most charging stations cables are not long enough to reach the socket, when the trailer is hooked up.

Many charging companies are adding special charging stations for EV’s with trailers.

Never gave that issue much thought...

No shit. Dude has rockets flying into space and then landing upright again. I think he knows what he's doing lol.

Fact that he even particpates in a vehicle launch impresses me. Dudes special.

He’s a master at getting the US to fund his projects.

One of the many issues.

GM ford and stellantis are already struggling to survive. The Biden administration is digging their hole

“Struggling to survive?” GM just announced a $10 Billion stock repurchase. Maybe struggling to survive down the road unless they can get the EV part of the ship righted, but they have a solid balance sheet as of today.

. . . and regarding the Tesla truck, reports on CNBC suggest manipulating the stainless steel body has been a real challenge as this metal is not very pliable. Reports suggest break even proposition today on these truck sales due to major manufacturing challenges, no moving the needle for Tesla corporate.

In any case, it’s a bold statement, interesting to watch from the sidelines. Off topic, but loving my new X7. Exceeding expectations.

He made $320 million by the time he was 26 with zip2.

I just saw that the tires are one off's to fit around the hubcaps. I'm guessing not cheap to replace.

A highly desperate move to keep the stock from tanking. Most analysts question why this was done vs investing in making the business work. It’s a front.

The government shoving them to comply with EV, the union deal strangling them, lol good luck. Obama had to bail them out of bankruptcy once already.

Glad to hear this. We pick ours up in a few weeks.

The swiss army knife of camper shells?

 

[boatpi]

FYI ; ford has incentives on the 2023 lighting, you can buy a lariat with 511
Package, pano roof etc and extended battery for 70k or less. And it qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

Looks cool.
I wonder how that will hold up in 70 mph winds in the desert???

Pretty slick and I love the innovation however the dudes I know in $100K Teslas arent camper types more Ritz types so I question the audience this is directed at. Jeeps guys yes but Tesla guys Im not seeing its viabiity. Cool though.

Edit- Debt Ratio is very high in their last 10-Q. Debt of $191 vs equity of $71 . P/E ratio of 4.5. Not sure they have the muscle to do this for their shareholders, only if they are very optimistic about the business. They obviously think retiring shares at a 4 P/E far outweighs the return on EV CAPEX today. I would suggest slow down the EV CAPEX and milk their surging ICE business (Escalades, Trucks, etc,) and build up a fortress balance sheet.

I see a big market for law enforcement with the truck. Bullet proof doors as standard equipment is a plus. Range in metro areas isn’t a huge factor.

This review video from Haggarty is Oscar worthy! It doesn’t change my mind about the Cybertrucks basic usability but it does highlight that it is an amazing development.

NGL…pretty damned impressive.

 

[USMC2010]

A coworker of mine has seen one in the wild here in Austin. It won't be but a hot minute or two before they are randomly everywhere.

 

[DaveC]

I just saw one on the freeway last week. I couldn’t get a picture of it cuz that would mean I needed to stop speeding….


Anyway…. In real life. That thing is UGLY….. holy smokes..

Trying to remember what I first thought of the Tesla 4 door models as they released.... thinking I didn't get their look.... matter of fact still don't ..... they are everywhere in Newport Beach.... I mean everywhere. I suspect these Cyber Trucks will be sprouting up in SoCal like crazy. They'll always be ugly but after watching all the video reviews this vehicle kinda rises above physical appearance through engineering, tech & performance.
And did anyone notice what it did to that 1000 hp Hummer? No competition whatsoever. Fuckin Elon.

I was referring to the tent structure...

 

[MK1MOD0]

Its funny, the Cybertruck is so damn ugly, I actually like it. . It’s as if they said.. F&%@ it. We’re going to build the ugliest damn thing in the world and we don’t care. Here’s a great vid about the design, with both the head stylists, and engineer . Very interesting design for sure.

Sorry bout that.... I agree that tent looks flimsy.

 

[pixrthis]

I saw one between Havasu and Kingman the week before Thanksgiving. As much as I’d like to support Musk’s “fuck you” attitude, it’s never going to happen with this whatever you want to call it.

Anyone know the dimensions on the bed of the truck. Seems kind of useless.
