Hey everyone, I think that after spending a couple of days June 12-14) at the Cybertruck Rodeo venue (Hidden Falls Adventure Park) in Texas, including a few hours talking to one of the Tesla engineers (Wes sent him to me with the truck), I should share my thoughts on the new Cybertruck. To keep it short and straight to the point, I honestly think it is the best value Cybertruck Tesla has made so far.

Tesla probably saves more than $10k on the build without the ventilated seats and matching hardware, air suspension plus components, lesser sound system, and different headlights, while the buyer feels like not much is missing, having the outlets on the bed and the hard motorized tonneau.

I had a great on-car conversation with Matt, the engineer and I shared it on X and YouTube, but I tried to upload it here and it is just too big of a file to upload here.

Feel free to watch it on YouTube or on X

I had such a blast with the truck that if I could, I would get one.

Tesl probably saved $10k in costs with the SAWD model. My guess is that the margins were pretty thin at the low $59,990 “fire sale” 10-day MSRP.

Rafael, we need to see Tesla offer it at $59K again
Imagine 4680 dry cell savings and the component reduction permits $59K
2027 model with NC30 gets 440 miles of range
These trucks will sell big!!
Forget the Slate and Ford Maverick EV

I am pretty sure this new variant all have the dry cathode 4680 cells.

No increase in range but cost cutting for sure. The energy density is just not there yet.

250 mm fixed suspension height would be a deal breaker for me, but I suspect it would be fine for most people.
