Why? Many reasons such as costs, difficulty to mass produce, etc. It's Elon for crying out loud. Have you not learned yet? Lol

How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

What are you saying?My biggest question would be how do you take it on trips or if you do not have home charging? From my understanding, pre-V4 SuC charge cables are too short. Do we have to buy a F-150 Lightning to tow it and then drive it locally at the destination?

Your 'understanding' appears wrong. There have been *many* pictures of the charging at pre-v4 Superchargers. May need to back in to the limit to not stretch the coord too much. Dozens of pictures out there tho.
I saw recently, it had a external cable leading from the front bumper to the charge port, might have been a picture from years ago and re-published for clicks. "Journalists" gotta eat, I guess. LOL
Oh, here's the article.
Cybertruck 'Release Candidate' spotted supercharging, shows why we need V4
Tesla's upcoming Cybertruck has been spotted charging up close, showing a potential problem which Tesla's new V4 superchargers will solve.

It fits fine. Is that really a big deal that you would need to back all the way up?Oh, here's the article.

Same as you would any other Tesla, by using Tesla chargers on the road.
BTW, if you don't have home charging, EV ownership will be a b*tch, regardless of the model you buy.
Any it dispels whatever concerns you were raising about using Tesla chargers.
with "bullet proof" glass being very likely out due to cost/weight reasons & Tesla majorily struggling to fulfill range promises ... and Rivian/F150 getting SuperCharger access next year... not sure there is enough "wow" factor to get folks to meaningfully switch.
additionally Tesla is clearly hitting issues in production/ supply over and over ... it's now mid-October (!) and still no delivery date or specs/prices. The articles stating issues with CT being too heavy due to the excessive use of stainless steel (doh...) and having issues getting near range promises plus cost/weight cutting don't inspire confidence. just as if someone could have told Elon there's a reason why no production car/truck uses that much stainless steel...

"Bullet proof glass" was *never* a thing with CT.
It's "TESLA ARMOR GLASS"
Ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite can absorb and redirect impact force for improved performance and damage tolerance.

Tesla could go with Glass Protection Film but even that is costly.

It’s hilarious, “Tesla armor glass”
And don’t give me the “SpaceX….” Line….
There is no SpaceX being used in the CT, no matter what the propaganda says lol
It’s time for some of you to come tot the realization that Tesla is like every car company that is looking to cut cost to make profit. All this garbage about the one long wiper, no sensors, stalks, instrument cluster, is not “Innovative”.

Some of that stuff is extremely innovative by definition (vision, instrument cluster, stalks)
It's mostly to reduce cost, yes...absolutely, but still requiring innovation to do so.
not sure if moving the gear selection onto a touchscreen is innovative ...
Of course it is. Innovation literally means a new idea, method, or product. The auto-gear select works really well and both of those things are innovative...to save money.
