I haven’t seen weight numbers but here is an image from the other thread. It’s not for me to want it in the bed, I won’t be taking it in and out and leaving it there taking up room is a no go, but that’s just me…. Shame they couldn’t get more range without having to resort to this.
There is no way his costs went up 60% over the 2 year extension - if anything the efficiencies gained over that time would have compensated for the inflation. He pitched a product to us that all of us would have been able to recommend to our friends and family. I make a quarter million a year and what he released is something that I can't even recommend for myself anymore, and I've been a fanboy for years now. This is a massive fail and bait and switch.
The cost of everything has gone up since the original Cybertruck pricing and I guarantee that no one’s cost went up 60%. Many manufacturers just took advantage of inflation as a way to boost profitability not having anything to do with production cost. I can distinctly remember cereal boxes getting smaller along with price increases. Manufacturers were trying to squeeze every penny out of us they could, while they could. I’m sure Tesla had a team all along working on how to price it to get the most profit while scaring the least amount of people away. They have billions to recoup and I’m sure that plays a part. For some buyers, any increase in the price from the original was gonna be a no go. I honestly feel for anyone who waited years and aren’t able to pull the trigger. The bottom line though is their bottom line. That has more say in pricing than any of our opinions.
I think the RWD and AWD Dual Motor will eat into the pickup market big time. That add-on Battery option will be a game changer for the range anxiety plagued.
You need a Powerwall in order to take advantage of Vehicle to Grid with the Cybertruck
