500 mile range? LOL

You are exactly right.

Just put your fingers in your ears and enjoy your vehicle when it arrives.

It's a sad environment.

Definitely sad after yesterday's spectacle, yes. But, to each - Enjoy if you decide to go for one of these.

NOPE...you know that's not what I meant. You know it.

Seriously, if people buy this, that's on them and they can enjoy it for all that it offers. For these forums, both sides need to be represented so future buyers can decide for themselves and not be lead by the nose by either the shills or haters.

Both sides? Not sure I see both sides represented.

I direct your attention to 1:53....

im keeping my res but im sure all the cultists here will claim im the asshole

I'm keeping mine as well. Still trying to figure out the efficiencies or the lack thereof with the VTH. My other threads on the subject know that I definitely have a need for that. So I'm looking at the availability of the power to that. Is it limited? Is it capped? What is the actual price of the available power per kilowatt hour vs. buying more batteries for an off grid setup.

It is as it appears to be... Where is the other side/view/members then? Rhetorical question.

No, I don't. That's why I leave it to the professionals, Tesla, who said 500+ miles could be done, for less money.

And Musk who said that the F150L was, and I quote "way too expensive", yet it's actually a bit less expensive than the CT's estimated pricing for the dual motor. Funny how that works.

Watch the Leno video above and listen to what Elon spouted RECENTLY....

ok.. let me loft one up and have people criticize my cybertruck order.

I'm getting the shortest range version for $10k. Lets hear the criticism everyone.

It can't even pull a toothpick. BUT ITS MINE.

Up to $17.61?

Up to $17.61?

Up 5%.

You know absolute share price is a completely meaningless metric, right?

If I don’t tow, lived in a temperate climate, and didn’t off road I probably would have kept my reservation.

The Bro Dozer set will love it.

After sleeping on it last night I've come to realize Tesla threw the towing crowd under the bus. They must have figured it wasn't profitable enough to build the truck with all the batteries needed for towing, so they didn't. The range extender is just a half-baked attempt to make it seem like they care about towing.

Agreed - clearly they took a look at the recent studies that show how little most 150/1500 series owners actually tow/haul - and made a strategic decision not to offer a CT with a larger long range battery pack option - hence the range extender as a compromise solution - which also means if you want to carry a spare - as is often the case when towing/hauling and when off-roading - you're basically using the entire pickup bed for the range extender and a larger LT/AT wheel/tire as a spare.

A real “winner,” there…

I was looking for more range. Roadster would be rated for 600+ miles but start at a quarter of a million dollars.

Instead, I reserved the Cybertruck because, for $69,900.00, it would have a range of 500 miles. It's a step down from Roadster but a good compromise.

Except it doesn’t have a range of 509 miles. Not even close.
