Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere, but I couldn't find a clear answer. I've received the "Your Foundation Series CT is ready to order" email, but don't want it. I'm sure many of you don't want to pay the extra bucks either.
If I ignore this email invite will I still have early...
Since Tesla didn't do it, let's play pretend.
What features would you keep, remove or add from the new finalized model to bring the Cybertruck's price down to $49,000?
Keep:
Stainless steel body
Armored glass
Automated vault cover
Steer by wire
340 mile range
Turning radius
Remove (cost...
Today was the day for me.
After watching sightings transition from drone footage, potato-cams, freeway glimpses and finally showroom pictures, I saw the Cybertruck in person.
My friends, it truly is stunning.
Seeing it on a screen does not do it justice. The way the geometry of the bodywork...
Personally, I'll be disappointed if they don't successfully redo the sledgehammer and ball throw during the upcoming delivery event.
If anything, I think the only way to rectify the infamous window crack is to throw a BIGGER steel ball.
They could also include a video reel of various...
Next year, when some of us may actually receive the Cybertruck, the IRS is supposed to expand access to the federal tax credit for electric vehicles.
Specifically, it will be possible for buyers to transfer their credit to the dealer, and receive the equivalent price off the vehicle...
I know I know, a criticism thread - I'm sorry. ;)
While we have no concrete numbers (pun intended) on how much the Cybertruck will weigh, we can make an educated guess based on its competitors:
The Rivian R1T has a curb weight of 7148 lbs
The Hummer EV has a curb weight of 9063 lbs.
We don't...
Crazy thought, I know.
But what if the wiper is designed to be removable just like (rumor says) the side mirrors?
Maybe Tesla really DID utilize the patented laser wiper system, but are required to include a legacy wiper too.
Thoughts?
Here's the full article from Barron's:
With the Cybertruck, Tesla Faces Its Edsel Moment
Tesla’s Avant-Garde Cybertruck is coming any day now. It’s the most important vehicle for the company since the 2017 introduction of its more affordable Model 3 electric vehicle.
The 3 helped usher in...
Apologies if a similar thread already exists, but I was curious if anything might cause people to opt out of the Cybertruck as we get closer to launch.
After final specs, pricing and performance figures are released is there something specific that would lead you to cancel your reservation...
Just came across this and thought people might enjoy:

Basically compares the "polarizing design" of the CT to polarizing artists who ultimately end up driving the whole medium forward.
There's also a wooden Cybertruck model...
With all the potato-level 10 second videos we've seen, I figured we should plan how to handle our own real world CT sighting.
Here's how I would like to respond:
Calmly notice the CT while maintaining good driving form
Allow it to get in front of me so my dashcam has a full view
If possible...
As I've said in the past, I think the Cybertruck's limited color options will result in increased interest in personalization.
Bumper stickers/magnets/decals are going to be popular.
Since we have plenty of time to plan for these things, let's create the ultimate list of bumper sticker ideas...
For the sake of argument, let's say these options work out to cost around the same.
Would you go with the cheapest single motor Cybertruck but add full self driving, or upgrade to the dual motor with no FSD package?
Thoughts?

I guess I'll just go ahead and cancel my pre-order then.
Assuming you can customize the reverse chime, what would you choose?
The current Tesla backup hum just doesn't suit the Cybertruck IMO.
I'm considering Flight of the Valkyries? 😅
