Long Range RWD Cybertruck launched! 362 miles range w/ soft tonneau ($62,490 w/ tax credit)

Looks good in motion! One of the few good things about the non-air suspension is that it'll ride high on the Interstate/high speed. Also, the wheels look good too.

See, it's not ALL bad...

Passed what I think is the new rwd today. Had mfg plates. No bed cover. Steelies and some sort of wheel cover sticking out much like the pictures.

This should be $20k less than it is.

That would be AMA2!NG ....
When that happens in Australia, Everyone who wants a Super Truck with RWD will want one, like yesterday

It was in the November 2019 release announcement, which you can watch here. The suspension is discussed at about 8:10 to 8:50.

... in addition the car has an adaptive air suspension, it's literally built, yeah, with adaptive air suspension so this will come standard on all the cars. I think this is actually a very important design element because if you have a, if every, if every truck has the ability to adjust the ride height so you can go very low or very high so you can be efficient on the highway and you can, you can also go off-roading. It's gonna have the highest clearance of any, any production truck so we have a 16-inch clearance and you can adjust this on the fly so it's adaptive damping and an adaptive right ride height. These, these are actually extremely important for a truck ...

This was just after Elon and Franz smashed the windows. Good times.

Fair call ....Elon proposed a RWD with 250 miles range!
CT now has a respectable 362 and l think that's a sweet spot DownUnder.
Many here in Oz would choose the range over 'Air' (apparently )

No thank you. I am on board with the Telo truck with AWD and 350 miles range for ~$43,500 with the rebate. ~6000 lbs towing, 2000# payload, 0-60 in 3.5, easy parking, 5' bed. Sorry Tesla $39k maybe.

The chances of the Telo MT1 going into mass production are slim. They may go down the same bankruptcy path as Elio, Canoo and most likely Aptera. I do wish them luck however as I love the concept truck. The efficient packaging is brilliant.

So you're set on the TELO
That makes it the 'TINKER TRUCK'

Telo truck is probably the most beta truck ever created, only a cuck drive around in that.

This looks awesome, this version of the truck is going to move a ton of units.

It looks better with the chunkier 18” tires.

Just wanted to share that our screen protector is on sale 40% Off! We're actually taking a $8 loss on each unit sold on Amazon - mainly because we overproduced and Cybertruck sales haven’t been as strong as expected.

Reduces fingerprints, glare, and reflections, especially with the white interior. A small upgrade for a cleaner, more comfortable drive.

Our screen protector is now on sale—get both front and rear for under $30! Try it out, and we’re sure you’ll love it!

Back in late 2019 when Elon announced the projected pricing, didn't anyone else think those were amazingly low prices? I mean, the dual-motor for $50k? I made a reservation just because I thought that price was incredible. Anyone else?

My 2018 Model 3 which I bought less than a year prior to the CT announcement cost me $60k with a 75kWh battery, and the dual-motor CT would have to have one 50-60% larger, to meet the projected range. How was that going to happen?

I recall the larger battery in my LR, over the SR was $9k more, and that was only about 20kWh different. How could an extra 45kWh make the dual CT $10k cheaper than my dual Model 3? Not even factoring all the other stuff that the CT was going to have.

Of course, we all assumed that the new battery cells, the 4680 was going to dramatically lower battery costs over the 2170. But, that didn't happen. So, when people complain about the prices not being what was announced, I'm like, should anyone be surprised?

Look at the current Model Y which also has 4680 cells. That 75-80kWh model currently costs $50k. A 50+% larger battery is going to put the CT pricing anywhere near that?

Sure, I was disappointed by the $70k pricing. I think if they could have gotten the decontented price with the large battery down to $64k that'd be in the right ballpark.

I still think they should offer the smaller battery, <100kWh, for the 250mi range, to get the price into an even lower range, like $56k.

To me, a 250mi CT for $56k, a 350mi CT for $64k, and a dual-CT for $80, and a tri-CT for $100k, makes the most sense.

Just think if they could offer a 250mi CT, with <100kWh battery for $56k, that'd be only $7k more than a Model Y, but that only has an 80kWh battery. To me, that'd be a bargain and sell like hotcakes.

Tesla is going to need to come up with a plan B for the Cybertruck.

Deliveries in Q1 are literally half what they were in Q4. 12,991 vs. 6,406. It’s a negative sales trend that will need to be addressed with new strategies.
