Who’s Ordered a Cybertruck?

[skydog]

Ironic that they are being hauled around and delivered via diesel trucks.

Why does that matter? My shop uses 95% battery power tools to fix all ICE vehicles? Sucks my EV aka Plaid has destroyed me..... I will keep my Tuned Tremor 6.7 F250 for a back up, but I loved loved that truck until I bought my Plaid!! (That replaced a 2021 M5 C.S STG2) Now all I feel is trans shifts and Rpm feels so so slow. I don't care about brand make or model its my money!!! Future finally coming!!!

 

[Backlash]

I wasn't trying to prove a point Sir, merely making an observation. I think it would have been more appropriate (Aka, "Cool"), if Musk and company could have used his electric semi's to deliver these ugly-ass box trucks to the local dealerships. That would have been slick.

Understand man sorry don't take my post the wrong way! I just am just so so ICE my hole life from building turbo sleds to cars and this ev shit is next level insane! People who are not enjoying them have just looking the other way and are missing out!
P.S. Yes totally understand your point yes!

 

[skydog]

The hard part is to try to tell people trust me I don't hate the earth but buying the Plaid had 100% nothing to do with saving the plant!! Lol Just wanted more from my V8 Twin Turbos.... and was going to go E 85 again but the transmission again lol was the weak point so went and drove the Plaid.... FUCK game over. The best part on top is everything is better!!! Ride...radio...heat....tech....ect..ect.. Well guys just go check them out that's all might not be for you, that's all good!

I’m interested to hear your comparison on the interior of an M5 vs Tesla Plaid.

I’m very surprised they didn’t stage these trucks in warehouses strategically so that Tesla Semis could make the final deliveries

The M5 and before that had a RS7.... but M5 was awesome best part was the rgb lights wowow!!! And the Bowen Wilkins radio it was awesome! But I had some rattles in the back from day one that could not be fixed. But over all awesome for sure!!! Plaid had a small noise in the frunk that was a easy fix, and the radio is really close to the B.W. for sure! One negative for the Plaid is the no soft close door's but got over that pretty quickly with all the other tech!!! So to answer your question the M5 and the RS7 interior on a 0-10 scale 10 best, M5 9.5 would been 10 if did not have a few rattles RS7 9.9 & Plaid I say 9.0

I got nothing against them, heck, I kinda like 'em. I just wanted to make the observation that you seem to be to Tesla what LOF is to Speed.

Carry on.

Do the entire thing.... I cut it way short.... all the doors began flapping and I think the irrors get in on the act too.

 

[TPC]

After a few false starts evidently deliveries are starting to happen.

Word is mass cancelations. Two friends I know canceled their order. NFW the wifes want that parked in the driveway,, and what happened to the 500 mile range and faster than a 911?

 

[TPC]

We’re still anticipating our Blazer EV SS.
If it doesn’t yet have NACS that is 100% app-less plug n charge we’ll wait until it does.
Same with the Denali EV.

The state of charging non Tesla seems to be getting worse by the week.

 

[Singleton]

I did.
Decided to get my deposit back.

End of day, it would have been car #4 in the household and based on usage, it would not of been able to replace any vehicle I currently have.

We need a SUV for river trips in the summer. The CT did not have the range to make that work and I don’t see improvements for at least 4 years.

Until we sell the ToyHauler and transition to an RV, I need a real truck as well that can tow.

Yeah touch worried about distance myself..... we will see I know everything with just keep getting better!

I have one on reserve. But I'm disappointed with the price and range. Tesla said early on the Tri-Motor variant was gonna be around 70k with a range about 500 miles. They fell very short of that. LOF knew this would happen and he was right. It would be one thing if it were a hundred grand with 500 plus miles of range but it's not even close. Bottom line, the range is just about 300 miles, and that doesn't do it for me, especially for the price.. But, I do believe prices will come down just like all their other vehicles. But at this point I'm just gonna move on.

It is almost straight up 300mi to my grandmother's old house in Henderson. That wouldn't make it because of heat/air, radio, charging cellphones, Baker grade.... my 97 F250 7.3 with a gear vendor could get me there drive around some and home without stopping for fuel. I haven't stopped for fuel going to or from Vegas ever, been driving for 30 years, seems like we are going backwards.

It's not so much about the heater, radio and charging the cell phones... Speed kills EV's range... It you're driving on the 15 to Henderson at 65mph to save the battery you're gonna get run off the freeway by everyone going 90mph to Vegas... lol At 90 miles per hour in a Cybertruck you'd be lucky to make it to Barstow.. What fun is that? haha

Yup absolutely. If I keep it under 70 in my volt the battery works very well. Above 80 forget about it. The ac is actually better than windows down because of aerodynamics is what I’ve been told, but I dunno I live close enough to work it really doesn’t matter wouldn’t cell phones and radio run off a separate dedicated battery? I think that’s how my volt is but I’m not positive and now I’m curious because I would like to throw some 12’s in my volt

Yeah, Tesla's have a 12v battery that handles the power for the rest of the car. I know this because my 12v battery was going bad in my Model 3 with 50k miles on it, they warrantied it and gave me a new one.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

My brother has a deposit on one when they first started taking orders. He's not sure if he's gonna keep his performance 3 or trade up.

 

[TimeBandit]

All EV's charge the 12 volt battery with the main Lithium pack. They dont have alternators (or engines) to charge the 12 volt battery.

Same for Hybrids afaik. No alternator on any of them.

So whatever juice you are using while driving or parked comes from the main Lithium pack.

The Cyber Truck now has a 48 volt "low voltage" system, so no more 12 volt battery.

I saw one running around Sedona last week. It was bigger than I thought it would be.

You are a Tesla guy, what is the pitch for one of these at this point? Legit question here.

These trucks (all of them) seem like an answer to a question no one asked. But looks aside, this being a Tesla is probably the best of all of the trucks, yes?

I feel like if the Rivian was a Tesla people wouldn’t care and just buy it because of the brand and looks. The Rivian truck and SUV are good looking vehicles. The Cyber Truck looks are obviously polarizing.

I really don't know... The only redeeming quality a Cybertruck has is it's fast, I guess... Is this a thing now? It's all about how fast vehicles are? I don't get it..

I think they totally missed the mark on the Cybertruck. I don't see a point in buying a Truck that can only go 200-300 miles (at best, not towing) before charging for 45 mins.

An EV commuter car is in a completely different category, it's not towing or hauling as much. An electric truck is a completely different story.

At a price point of 100k, no way am I gonna buy a Cybertruck or Rivian over a Raptor... No way..

The only thing I can think of is that it is for the kayak or mountain biking set, that live in a house or high end apartment/condo (so they can charge it up).

My thought with all this is that if it can’t scale practically to a light truck, how the hell does it make sense for a semi?

Tesla has been doing pretty well with the Semi's actually. They have them on routes that make sense. It' been a pretty good program for them.

Yeah he yaps like a carnival barker but has good info for the nerd enthusiasts.
When my friends put down their deposits whey were under the impression it would have 500 mile range / 3 motors.

The Silverado/Denali EV is estimated to deliver 400 to 450 mile range depending on the model and drivers are reporting close to that, some even over that. That range not to be confused with towing numbers.

The EV industry won't pop and break out until major breakthroughs in battery cost, replacement longevity and range/charging time. It's my eyes at this point, I just don't see it.

 

[TPC]

The mega-chargers are appearing with pull thru space along the highways. It's going to be essential to have a lot of them,, as in shitloads of them.

It's a nitch' segment now. Decades away from being an industry standard. For some fleets it's ideal. For drivers it's fantastic.

You can scrub through her family & groceries sections and get some honest takes on the GM Lyric. It's the same platform as the Blazer. The Blazer we've ordered is 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque, the videos Caddy is 340 HP.

Her frustration with Electrify America is typical. We've had good experiences with EVGO chargers and this 31F morning got a really quick and easy charge. As she mentioned, we too won't buy any EV that's isn't NACS app-less plug n charge and reliable.

 

[Toolman]

I think its going to be interesting and good for competition.

Ford just lowered the price on the lightning up to I think 9-10K. They obviously see this thing as a competitor.

Elon doesent like to screw around and at this point people have no idea what this thing is truly capable of. What if it has a real world range of 500 miles and out tows/performs the other options for less $$$.

Its hideous but maybe its so bad it will end up being something "new" and grow on all of us.

From what I understand, the Ford lightning is a huge loss. Ford has fields of lightnings just sitting with batteries in them just rotting in the sun.

Wouldn't surprise me.

I think a couple things are happening the dealer network has pissed off consumers with the market adjustments. couple that in with the economy and high interest rates and unless you can get the business write off people just aren't really in need of a full size electric truck.

While the Tesla is ugly it will be more of a status symbol and does some special things compared to the other offerings. (not tow...lol)

Seen this truck ( or what ever it is ) at the Peterson Museum while at the Shelby event Sunday .
I’m not impressed .Larger than the pictures I have seen . It’s a grocery getter. That’s all.

Based on all the other EV trucks out there, it seems par for the course as far as range towing and in cold/hot weather.

The competitive advantage Tesla has in the car space seems to be diminished in a truck application.
