Or skip denial and just jump straight to acceptance...
(The longer wait for Beast isn't helpful though...)

I suspect a lot of changes will be rolled into the beast by the end of 2024 - changes that will not be in the "early adopter" Founder's Edition AWD VINs.
Sandy gets a tour of the Cybertruck Stainless Steel line at Tesla:
Stainless door frames. Stainless door rings black powder coated. I was expecting steel for everything but the outer skins, but they did not hold back.
The outer skins is either 1.4 or 1.8mm thick. Not 3mm as has been previously mentioned/rumored/whatevered.
He said the outer skins provide 75% of the crash strength. That's exoskeleton territory for me. It's not just a flashy exterior.

Seems like there is a lot more of "less" than "more" when comparing the prototype to what was delivered - which, BTW, is not what Elon recently said in that "Jay Leno CT video;" link provided below. If you recall, he recently bragged in that video (at around the 1:45 min mark) -
"...unlike other manufacturers, Tesla always delivers more than the prototype..." Not even the devotionalists can defend this Charlatan BS...

Sharing, for those prospective buyers of whatever brand, that may be out there looking at this thread.... If too long, just go to the 16:00 mark for the punchline...
As I recall, after the original announcement, all anyone heard was "it's too big" "it won't fit in my garage". So unsurprisingly it was changed.

But, the Charlatan quoted comments came way after the design was finalized, and there is a lot not in the delivered version that was in the prototype - that has nothing to do with size....

This is important. Combined with Lars Moravy's statement to Sandy Munro that they only need the 9,000 ton gigapress for the rear castings (because Tesla tool'n'die maker/engineers have developed a way to make the CT front casting with the 6,500 ton gigapress - BTW they already have 4 of those in Austin).
Now Tesla already has 2 of the 9,000 ton gigapresses installed, so they can very quickly increase installed CT production capacity from 125K/yr (announced) to 250K/yr, just by adding a 2nd shift on the existing line.
A 2nd line takes Ct capacity to 1M/yr, but requires either more 9KT gigapresses, or more magic tricks from die-makers, or a combination of both. All I know is that if the orders are there, Tesla Engineering will make it happen.
The Leno's Garage video finally points out where the 48V power connection is for the light bar, I had assumed that was just a receptacle for cargo rack mounting. The wiring hidden under the door is tiny thanks to 48V, for the power level it's supposed to provide.

Only Elon knows…. will be more telling to see how much time must pass for it to be fixed or Tesla explains what happened. Not a good look.

Some “fording” facts….
Looks like with CT, you have to go through a process before fording up to 30”
BUT with the Rivian you can just “have at it,” up to a staggering 43”+ of depth!
Another “win” for the theee year old Rivian….

And Rivian's pack isn't pressurized 100% of the time.
CT is an all purpose pickup with an over 6' bed.
R1T is an adventure vehicle with a 4.5' bed.
