Wasnt the cover always black? Why are there so many articles talking about the color
Yes.Wasnt the cover always black? Why are there so many articles talking about the color
exactly, I had to go watch the jay leno video but it was basically blackYes.
Maybe because the vault has been open most of the time and people forgot?
Not sure. It would be weird if it were pink or something.
I donāt think any of the classic media gives a damn about the Cybertruck and when articles arenāt trash talking it, the guy who writes the story is the one who drew the short stick.exactly, I had to go watch the jay leno video but it was basically black
In my opinion a stainless bed is completely stupid. Lincoln tried it in the 90s. I actually shot the commercial for it. It will get so scratched up the aesthetics will go out the window so all thats left would be the non rusting which is nice but Rhino lining or Linex is the way to go. I will never own a truck that doesn't have a lined bed. The bed will not be 3mm stainless if it is stainless and it will be suseptable to dents just like steel. Lining strengthens the steel and i am pretty rough with the bed and it still looks great after 18 years.The BED was stainless in the original CT, but subsequent versions have had black beds. Are they conflating the tonneau cover with a "covering" (think Rhino Liner) of the bed?
Bad at sales?Really, Tesla sucks at sales. I know many of you just lost it with that statement, but hear me out. Obviously they are some of the best selling cars in the world and it is almost entirely the design and engineering that sell themselves. There is also the green aspect as well. I don't think many people think that they want buy tesla to support Elon. For most its probably a little bit of everything.
When i am dealing with selling large dollar values, over time, you kind of want to feed people bits of news or updates so they can chew on it and come up with their own motivation to make the purchase. This journey with the CT has been so haphazard its incredible. I still don't know if we actually really know much.
I mean even the more recent patents show a thinner stainless. The more recent casting images make it seem like the sail pillar storage is gone and no pass through. Some videos seem to show rear wheel steering while many don't. The side mirrors are changing. I guess we can assume that any new prototype has a more up to date feature.
I hope we get more info today. but it seems like they are going to drop the updated pricing and specs on people that have been waiting almost 5 years and its going to be rough. Obviously they will still sell a lot of them. At this point they could probably not give any specs and put the price at $100k and people would be lined up out the door for a couple years to buy it regardless.
How can it be "waiting almost 5 years" when it has not even been 3.5 years yet ( 2019Nov21 - 2023Mar02) ???Really, Tesla sucks at sales.

Well, for many people thereās still >1.5yr years to go before they take delivery *shrug*How can it be "waiting almost 5 years" when it has not even been 3.5 years yet ( 2019Nov21 - 2023Mar02) ???
We now have more than just Elon's hopes for when Cybertruck will arrive.Well, for many people thereās still >1.5yr years to go before they take delivery *shrug*
and to be fair Musk did by 2017 start talking a lot about the developed plans for a truck, even if unveil wasnāt until 2019 *shrug*
if nothing else, we can all agree itās felt like an eternity![]()
yes. When the first oneās arrive, I understand. But when the last preorder ships? Hasnāt Elon guessed 3 years after first ship? In any event I obviously wasnāt talkinf about when the first ones would ship. Was being half tongue-in-cheek about how one might hazard to say āwaiting 5 years.āWe now have more than just Elon's hopes for when Cybertruck will arrive.
correction: they wont ship a modern BEV pickup until at least early 2025and still did not ship a modern BEV pickup (F-150 Lightning EV) until spring 2022

I'm always pointing this out to people. Tesla doesn't advertise in the traditional sense. Yet the demand for their products is so high that they throttle it by changing prices. And they still have high margins.Just you know, they don't need to do any yapping about the product. We do it for them.
