Cybertruck launch

[spdpsba]

Cybertruck launch - Elon just smashed it. That’s absolute Hollywood style release.
And the segment about faster than a Porsche 911 towing a Porsche 911 just killed the German automakers! That’s how you do a car launch!

Nothing will beat the two smashed windows on the Cybertruck. It still makes me laugh.

I confidently predict reports of German automakers deaths are premature.

Tell me you’re a fanboi without telling me your a fanboi.

Interesting that Matt from Carwow has managed to wangle an invite for this. Maybe there is a smidge of a chance that this might be made in RHD at some stage
(already been shot down by Elon and would be a horrible daily driver on our roads I know I know).

You don’t have to be a fanboy to appreciate a new generation charmer at the peak of his game just to sell his car. This is how you do a car launch or a product launch for this generation. If you don’t like it so be it.

You don’t get it, do you @Pants. All of Elons presentations are scripted to have the Hollywood high moments. Of course, that was a planned one including what they did it this time using baseball. It is part of larger script of ‘product remembrance’. Do you remember a product called EQE SUV that was launched by Merc. You don’t and it cost £30000 more than Cybertruck and no one will remember that.

LHD or RHD, it cannot pass European safety regulations.

So the cyber truck is 50% over the promised price, has 32% less than the promised range and tows 20% less than promised. Am I missing anything? Maybe the Hollywood show was to distract everyone from the facts.

I actually thought it was pretty lame. A pre-made video with a lot of production value, and then a bunch of unknown people getting into CTs.

Elon was standing in the dark for a bit of it -- pretty amateur, if you ask me.

Oh, and Franz gently throwing a baseball at a window. BFD.

And I really wouldn't call this a 'launch'... It was a 'delivery event'.

I've been to several other Tesla reveal/launch/delivery events and this one was the most lame.

Revealing delivery event which includes reveals on the website. Now what?

I honestly can’t decide for sure if that’s meant as sarcasm.

I was totally underwhelmed by the event. So was my wife. Poor staging, lack of specs/pricing/features - the list goes on.

The videos were well done, but that’s about it.

Elon is clearly no Steve Jobs.

like every other concept turned into reality.

This was the most disjointed and "um... uh..." filled presentation I've ever watched. Only touted the towing, speed, and a couple features and didn't reveal ANY real world specs because they knew they overpromised and under delivered. Trash event.

The event was true Elon style.

 

[silvermaxd]

as a Tesla owner I'm kinda embarrassed about this vehicle. How can you make such beautifully designed cars and then put this out?

I understand, Steve Jobs is for the 60s generation and Elon for the 2K kids. They don’t want every detail to be paraded along in a launch. They just want ‘highs’ and what a way to show a Porsche 911 towed faster than a Porsche 911. We all understand the trimotor version etc., but what they showed smashed everything out of the park. A great example for modern advertising, launch or delivery whatever you call it.
