Could be, but there is relentless pressure from investors on the value of the stock; Musk will be pushing hard this time.
it's gonna be like MY slated for later but surprised/shocked everyone with earlier production & delivery. Tesla don't want to over excite/promise but gonna shock & surprise again!

Will Cybertruck be Tesla’s first flop? I don’t know anyone that would buy it. I’m talking about normal, non-Tesla fan people.

They don’t have 4680 cells at the energy density or production capacity they need yet. And the Cybertruck is dependent on the 4680 cells because it was designed with the gigacastings and structural battery from the start so they can’t just switch out the battery pack design on a whim.

1.8M preorders ... I'm thinking 500K go through with it ... that's a lot of CT's on the road advertising ...
Ultimately, it has to perform as a truck and do useful truck things.
Biggest problem I see right out of the gate is air suspension limits towing weight substantially, that's why all F250's ride terrible, that stout rear end cross axel to support whatever it's hauling.
Musk keeps adding weight to the Cybertruck and that will lower the payload capacity. Just 4wheel steer will add around 400 lbs to the truck. The F150 Lightening will most likely be on it's second generation by the time the Cybertruck comes out. It may have better range than it does now.
expect about as elaborate and luxurious as a Model 3...

God help us NO!
Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I really wish people would stop trying to make Cybertruck look like the same old thing that's been on the market for tye last 50 years. Cybertruck was unappolagetically designed from the start to buck the trends in truck looks, function, specs and every other metric you care to mention. That is it's biggest appeal and one of the biggest reasons for it's huge reservation list.

You must be new here. If it can possibly be removed, Tesla will remove it. There will be no stalks for turn signals or direction changes, half a wheel, vinyl upholstery, multiple stabs at a screen to open the glove box.....
If I was to spend 75 to 100K for a Truck I want it to have a luxury interior. It doesn't have to have the same look as the top of the line ICE Trucks. But heated/cooled and massaging seats and reclining heated rear seats.
You mean like the lack of instrument cluster and half a steering wheel that were the “future” only to have Tesla include the Instrument cluster in their highest priced models and then offer a real steering wheel as an option?
No, I’d say the reservation list has more with people trying to make money than actually liking the interior….
yup. truck buyers dropping shy of $100k on a truck expect King Ranch or High Country trim levels and not just unventilated "vegan" leather seats
But there’s nothing like IKEA level interior….. it’s the “Future”, no need for a 360 degree Camera or Sensors neither
