INVESTOR DAY CYBERTRUCK BETA PRESENT! [w/ Walkaround Videos]

[Dids]

I don't think an "employee" telling an unnamed person that the beta model is 5% smaller is the same as anything official.

The 48V diagram... seems to show motors under the midgate area... so the tonneau cover should roll up there.... Also it appears there are motors near the liftgate, so possibly powered liftgate? Thirdly there is some device near the rear window, so possibly that window is powered...

Tail gate has a rubber seal.

I think the reason we see the roof as solid is that this truck has a solar roof. They are hiding it with an added headliner....

Concerns
No Sail pillar storage:
zero signs this is a thing, no evidence thus far, and in-bed wall storage? Useless..
Less legroom in rear seats:
My R1t already is cramped.. need an upgrade here, and it looked about the same
Power options in bed look scarce:
port door shown looks barely enough room for air port and a 120v plug.. here's to hoping another port door for power is on final truck on passenger side like Rivian ( 240v 30amp minimum!)
Center dash screen:
not shown, but wiring schematic did show it so here's to hoping..
Bed shrunk:
Why have a 3500lb payload capacity for a shrunken/origami bed size? Looks like a lot of wasted space in wall for structure that can't be used for a 5th wheel or camper anyway..

To much bukaki in this thread. Need to separate topics for discussion.

I suspect the narrowing is due to rear steering.

Tail gate has a rubber seal.

So it doesn't sink.

Trying to catch up with the thread, but I'm 10 pages behind. My thoughts:

1. Yes. My reservation will be turned into a purchase.
2. Wifey and I really wanted the 6th "b1*ch" seat. Bummer. Still buying the CT.
3. Wanted a pass through, bummer. Still buying the CT.
4. Must have dual motor at least. Love to have quad, but must have dual for 4x4. No RWD for me.
5. This will be my last vehicle purchase, so I'll be paying the $7000 FSD.
6. I live in Texas. I'm hoping they start deliveries in Texas first. That'll move me up the list from 100,000th place

People can’t seem to get it out of their heads that Cybertruck is not just about replacing consumer trucks. It’s about replacing all pickup trucks. Absolutely massive number out there in fleets. Fleet buyers tend to be much more price conscious for obvious reasons.

There will be a low end/ SR Cybertruck. Whether it’s RWD only or AWD remains to be seen, but people who write it off aren’t paying attention to the narrative. Tesla is planning on selling massive numbers of Cybertrucks. The only way you sell vehicles in the millions is by pricing them aggressively. Fancy quad motor trucks are not going to be the bulk of these vehicles.

What prices/ configurations does Tesla need in order to sell millions of trucks a year? That’s the end goal. Not this year, but within 5 years.

A couple of Points: First, yes, I actually wanted a RWD truck. living in Louisiana, driving 99% of the time on the pavement (in shambles as it may be), I want a large vehicle, with a commanding view of the road, with the utility of a truck to haul around my kids bikes without having to add a rack, pick up landscaping projects, Christmas trees, etc., but have ZERO intention of trailering. RWD is perfect for this. 4x4 is an unnecessary and expensive option I don't want.

Second: I really hope that is a Cyberstyle Van on the top under the sheet. With 4 kids, assuming we will get a front bench as they initially told us, we are already at capacity with this vehicle and i could really use the space of a full-size van for the same reasons as outlined above.

It doesnt slide under the roof. The pictures of the bed you can see the curve in the track goes to under the cab/bed.

I think we'll see price pretty much sticking to the original quote.
I took a look Iat the price history for Model Y.
And I so that current price is pretty much what it started with in 2019!

There's no reason the Cybertruck shouldn't adhere to the same price graph basically:

Great analysis. I agree that we will see it stay there. I think it will be $69k for the quad. I think the Tri is gone.
