So true. And for those of you who haven't noticed, this forum has a lot noise created by people who see it as their job to try to take the shine off Tesla, even if they have to mislead and lie to do it. There are a number of posters who think they are being crafty, but who are as transparent as the finest mineral glass. They think they can create a demand problem for Tesla so legacy auto can continue their dirty ways for another month, another year or another decade. But Tesla has them cornered and out-gunned, because they are bringing the products to market that people actually want at the prices people can actually afford in great numbers.Munro Live for the win again!! His emphasis of saying don’t put too much stock in a “pre-series, prototype” is such a voice of reason. The amount on here freaking out over build quality feeling cheap, canceling orders, etc… be patient, y’all are gonna love it (well most)
That's quite a leap. There are for sure Tesla haters on TMC who have been disillusioned by their problematic experience and maybe some here who have grown tired of the wait or unhappy with the lack of information, but;So true.

Granted, if they were effective at this most distasteful job, it would mean I will get my personal Cybertruck that much sooner. But all their work goes in vain because soon the Cybertruck will be present in metal and glass for everyone to see. I don't know how people who do this kind of dirty work can even like themselves. The answer is, they probably don't, not deep down inside.

What are you talking about.Munro Live for the win again!! His emphasis of saying don’t put too much stock in a “pre-series, prototype” is such a voice of reason. The amount on here freaking out over build quality feeling cheap, canceling orders, etc… be patient, y’all are gonna love it (well most)
Ha touché ! I apologize. I too want a bunch of people ahead of me to bail. I am ashamed about my post….What are you talking about.
Be impatient, cancel (if you are below 60k on the reservation list).
FIFYSo true. And for those of you who haven't noticed, this forum has a lot noise created by people who see it as their job to try to take create shine for Tesla, even if they have to mislead and lie to do it. There are a number of posters who think they are being crafty, but who are as transparent as the finest mineral glass. They think they can create a demand for Tesla.
You must have missed it, but I specifically said their efforts are in vain because Tesla products are too good of a value for millions of new car buyers to pass on just because they read negative things on the Internet.1. Assuming that their post in a fringe message board with maybe 20-30 regular posters will do anything for/against demand is wild.
Like Dr. House paying patients to come back later and hands them money to skip out.Ha touché ! I apologize. I too want a bunch of people ahead of me to bail. I am ashamed about my post….
Actually, I'm going to keep my reservation (in the 3k range), buy the piece of garbage, and sell it at a massive profit to some disillusioned fanboy.What are you talking about.

I agree with youYou must have missed it, but I specifically said their efforts are in vain because Tesla products are too good of a value for millions of new car buyers to pass on just because they read negative things on the Internet.
It would only work if Tesla was teetering on the edge and there was barely enough demand for Tesla to sell all they can make. Instead, much to the disappointment of those wanting to harm Tesla, Tesla increases production every year and can still sell every one they make. Of course, many of the biggest Tesla detractors have said they think Tesla has a demand problem or will soon develop one. It's not a stretch to think they can help that come true, it's just taking them much longer than they anticipated. Tesla ownership continues to grow by leaps and bounds and they don't like that.
My question to you: Why do you think the number of regular posters is even a relevant metric for how much impact could be expected from posting negative things designed to steer buyers away from purchasing a Tesla? Did you know that even people who don't have posting privileges can browse the conversations on CybertruckOwnersClub.com?
According to SimilarWeb.com, a website analytics site, CybertruckOwnersClub.com had 188,800 visitors last month. That's a lot! It's a good bet a high percentage of those visitors wanted to know more about the Tesla or the Cybertruck and whether it would be a good fit for them. This is what people do before they make a new car or truck purchase decision, right?
The fact that you think the relevant metric is how many regular posters there are makes me think that either you are trying to mislead, or you don't have a clue what you are talking about. If anything, fewer regular posters will increase the chances that a new visitor will see one of their negative posts. On the other hand, posting negativity on a more active site, would mean the visibility of their posts would tend to be diluted by all the other activity. That is the exact opposite of what you are attempting to portray as reality.
I learned a long time ago not to trust people who say non-sensical things while trying to convince me that things aren't as they appear.
If you are actually around 3K on the list, please put me first on your list of disillusioned fanboys I will pay you top dollar! I ordered day 2 and I'm around 180K (I know that covers ALL Teslas not just CT). .Actually, I'm going to keep my reservation (in the 3k range), buy the piece of garbage, and sell it at a massive profit to some disillusioned fanboy.
Thanks for posting. Either way it is very exciting.
