Yeah, I would love to later see the reservation to delivery conversation rates - but Tesla will never allow that out!

Cybertruck launch

I am told they also used a base 911 Porsche. I think it’s about 350HP. It’s not a car for acceleration records. Put them both on a track and the Cyber truck would be left far behind.

A mundane 2019 Model 3 AWD will bring that 0-60 … hardly OMG supercar material…

Seems like everything shown was a spin/fudge of some kind. This, that laughable torque math, range listed as "an estimate", etc., etc.

Drag racing in a truck is completely irrelevant for anyone considering these vehicles. ANY electric vehicle is going to have plenty of torque and speed for any real world use. The tractor pull, comparing to a base Porsche 911, Hummer, etc makes a good parlor trick to wow some folks, but it has zero relevance in the real world. These are not the things a truck buyer cares about.
And how about this? Is it relevant- may be because it is a Porsche wink wink !
The time isn't really 0-60, more like 5-60 mph as the first foot, or 'rollout', isn't counted. So the real 0-60 time is probably nearer 2.9 seconds.

No, you will have to go to Lucid for that.
There is more to the Cybertruck than what we've seen so far. Elon keeps saying this is their best product so there must be some amazing things happening under the hood.
Lol.
If there are so many more amazing things why wouldn't they just show them at the launch event?
This is Tesla we're talking about. First time?
I've said the same thing on a couple of other threads/groups/forums. The videos cater toward the fanboy base without a doubt - as no one who uses a truck for truck things cares about the 60mph dash or 1/4 mile time. Sure there's a very small segment of truck owners that care about these types of things - but it's just that - a very small segment. A blue collar worker looking for a work truck could care less. TFLEV briefly had a video up on there YT feed after the CT launch - that appears to have been subsequently taken down - where they come right out and state that it's a CyberCar not a CyberTruck by most accounts. Wish I could find this video now but I cannot seem to locate it. The CT is basically a modern version of the El Camino - so said the video at least. Not sure I agree with it after having a few days to sleep on it - but as someone else said - Tesla has clearly made design decisions to cater to a different audience for the CT - and to basically add bolt-ons for any consumer who really wants to try and use the CT as a real work truck or for towing/hauling. Only time will tell how this all plays out.
Given a very small segment of 150/1500 series owners actually tow/haul on a regular basis - Tesla has clearly designed the CT to cater to this market segment more than anything - as is evidenced by the fact that they shortened the vehicle to fit in garages - or to at least have a chance of fitting in most garages.
