Did you reserve the cyberTruck?

It's definitely...different. I'm not saying that in a bad way - I thought the model 3 front end looked bizarre when they launched it and yet now I like it. I'm just curious as to who the market is for this truck - definitely not traditional truck buyers. If any want to go electric, I suspect the electric F-150 will be aimed at them.

No reason to reserve since that doesn't guarantee you a spot in line. Design is so bad, it is no wonder the reservation amount was $100. If they were paying me instead $100, I wouldn't order it.
It takes Tesla about a year after production to have a decent design. The one early model I bought was the X and it spent months in the shop that first year. My only regret was not lemon lawing it.

Thing is if Ford follow the emerging approach by the major automakers, the Electric F-150 will be a premium vehicle, likely heading towards $100k, I seriously doubt there will be an "XL" trim. Ditto Rivian - their truck is supposed to start from $69k USD - $91k CAD! By offering an electric that will start at almost half that price, Tesla has really thrown down the gautlet.
Even if this doesn't sell well, it's mission accomplished (literally) if it forces some of the other companies to offer cheaper electric truck models. If they don't I'm sure lots of people will be able to get past the looks and buy one of these just to stop buying gas and get the crazy specs.

All they had to do was have a design that was less ‘out there’ and they sell a ton. A ton! The specs and pricing are perfect to crack the pick up truck market. It’s too bad.

Yes, if I'm in a market for a bigger vehicle, but no! It looks odd but in a way it's pretty cool! However, I prefer the styling to be more rounded (like this concept) rather than so squared.
Thinking he put it low to boost reservation numbers, ie an ‘investor’ could put down $10m and Tesla will report 100k reservations in the next quarter. That guy can get his money back and boost the stock

Hmm... Maybe sell my model X 75D and buy the top model of truck?
Twice more range, more utility, faster, cheaper...

I put down a pre-order/reservation. Triple motor with 2.9s 0-60 and 800km range sounds great (if I can afford it by 2022 or whenever it's available).

Yes. Hoping the prototype will morph into something slightly more mainstream for production - my wife isn’t convinced!
Tri Motor reservation! And the ATV! Just take all my money!
I put in the pre-order, but will likely cancel unless full FSD is out. I'm planning on paying for the truck with robotaxi income...

good idea! I just put in an order for dual and tri with fsd if fsd isn’t available by then I cancel one or both
Wow, out of all of the renders I never saw that one. That design language seems more at home with their other cars.
