Just how cool it is. The stainless is not as reflective as some worry it to be.

It's hard to go down a list of thoughts when you're thrown into this. All technical thinking/understanding goes out the window when you're confronted with it. This may sound melodramatic or whatever but it's just hard to remember when i WANT to know when I get faced with it semi unexpectedly. This was not a planned run in. But it was something I'll remember and be thankful for for a long long long time. It was really cool.
Very encouraging to hear that it might not be as reflective as some have worried.

A short video was posted tonight that mentioned headlights reflecting.
Rear was fairly wavy. Curved bodies on normal vehicles sure do "suppress" this aspect.

I can't think of any other vehicle that has been as highly anticipated as the Cybertruck.

Virtually nothing has been leaked. Tesla and its employees have been very tight lipped about details. We don't even know if aircraft inspired steer-by-wire will be used on the CT.

This and a post from another member, regarding the tight lips from Tesla and CT details, has really cooled my jets. Now, I'm at some weird mental stage in this journey. I got my put-up-or-shut-up money ready. So, I've done my part to get a CT. From here on— it's not up to me. I'm just waiting for whatever happens next. I've already started putting aside cash for aftermarket wheels, so the little details (wheel offset and minimum wheel size) will happen when it happens.

I guess I'm in the stage of acceptance.

@greggertruck, now that this unveil is on the horizon I just want to say thanks for providing some good CT info and pics when things got really fkn dry around here. You might have been the one who snagged proof of the actual tire size way back when. To me, I remember, that was clutch information at the time.

** Yup! ** (looked it up)

For stuff like that, man... Your efforts obtaining actual (well, you may have floated a stinker or two— just sayin') information have been greatly appreciated by me. Thanks.

I'm within the first 20k tri-motors reserved, will it matter?
...I dunno, and can't do anything more than what I've done.

Will the price be something I can accept?
...Dunno. No amount of foot stomping will change what Tesla decides is fair.

Will the construction sequence deliver mine in a reasonable time?
...Dunno. They aren't building them according to when Dusty wants his shit.

I'm just happy that, as of now, I'm in a good place concerning the CT. What I've seen doesn't look like something that won't fit my needs, and I know not everyone is at that point.

So, me? Now... I wait. I cleared my calendar, and my only job on November 30th to December 1st is one thing... Either get my order finalized or have a very clear understanding of how to make it happen.

I have heard quite a few marathon runners have fallen with exhaustion when entering the stadium and seeing the finishing line.

People say the rear end view of the CT looks like a refrigerator on its side.
Never put down a 'Refrigerator'....
Whose side are you on?
I'm on the side of 'Joe Justice, CYBERTRUCK and The American Whey ' ( Cheesy )

I actually strongly doubt it all leaks. It's kept SO tight. As far as I know, even this guy driving today does NOT know yet. Like it's a very VERY small group of people that actually know. 50ish people maybe. Throw the bat in my spokes @IJNYamato
Like when the model y came out with the structural pack and basically zero new info from Tesla. Folks had to do some math and start tearing it apart to see what improvements were made. It’s odd how quiet they are about cool stuff they worked on for so long.
