Ha, I was honestly coincidentally just thinking about this issue the other day... and now they are fixing it with rear wheel steering.
I was thinking about how I'd have to pull out much further in a Cybertruck to make a turn than a "normal" car due to the extra long wheelbase. I think Elon...
Yeah, it said sold out at 4 minutes after the hour for me.
...but I lucked out and was able to get an order in! I'm glad Google Chrome has a secure credit card autofill option so that step only took a few seconds.
Some additional info found on the mattelcreations instagram replies:
This is not the same version as the 1:10 Hotwheels Cybertruck released last year for $399. This one is slower (12mph max) and looks more plasticky.
Includes the 1:10 Cyberquad (not RC) for $100 total
It'll be a limited run...
Exactly. I was just about to say this and saw your post. The various articles out there are just making up the 200K number when the actual quote from Elon on the podcast is as you said.
:p
"Because it's badass and super cool." -Elon Musk from Jay Leno video
I think that as realistic and everyday workhorse as we all want the Cybertruck to be, it's also okay to dream about even more cool features. Not having to get off your CyberQuad to load it up is pretty badass and would...
I tend to agree. But I also see where others are coming from and may see the truck more as a work tool. Which is why it made sense to me if these features were options. There for those who wanted the extra pizzazz and optional for those who could care less. For the high trim TriMotor though...
Hmm, good point. I don't have a truck so this kind of real world experience is insightful. Kind of makes me wonder if they've thought of how to handle stuff like gravel in the vault cover tread since that is power open/close.
Awhile back I saw that the 2019 Chevy Silverado had an optional power liftgate.
I thought it'd be a handy feature for Cybertruck so I tweeted Elon about it (spoiler: he didn't respond). As far as I could tell from the unveil video stream and Jay Leno video, the vault cover is automated, but the...
No problem. Thank YOU for maintaining this great tool for us future Cybertruck owners! It's great to see how so many people are looking ahead to the future of trucks!(y)
Thanks for sharing your story! It's very interesting how vehicles can become classics over time, especially first run ones - even with any flaws. Just need patience and commitment. I'm sure just like with your dad's Honda, Tesla will come out with improvements to the Cybertruck over time, but an...
I found this forum and method of estimating your place in line about a month ago. Before that, I had a single motor Model Y on preorder since its reveal, to replace my wife's gas SUV.
But after using this Cybertruck tracker and finding out how near the front of the theoretical line I am (#233)...
