Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

[Bricepark]

Thanks Tesla for answering the question nobody asked... "when can I buy an electrified Pontiac Aztek?"

Show some respect, the Aztec was not THAT bad - merely awful.

 

[Owner]

When is the Electric Ford F150 showing up?

 

[braoudap]

Is anyone really going to buy a RWD truck? (the $39,000 version)

 

[JenniferH]

Stats are great. Price is great. But that shape. Uhhhhhhh, not good. I really hope they change the body before the release.
And someone is probably getting fired for that glass embarrassment. Akin to the Windows blue screen of death snafu at one of Microsoft’s presentations decades back. I’m guessing that the glass was weakened by them testing it out earlier, but that’s still not a good look to have the cracked windows in the background for the rest of the short presentation.

I am impressed he was able to regroup and continue after the glass debacle. And to have to stand in front of it for the remainder was painful. He handled it about as well as one could.

There is a picture of the interior here: Cybertruck

WOW

Massive ground clearance for off-road and impressive acceleration for on-road.

Didn't manage to understand how access to the bed works, but it appear competitive in size.

Yes, this is very, very different.

Can't believe I have to wait for so many posts to see one that is (sort of) an approval. Didn't anyone even notice what Elon says the truck has an outside dimension no bigger than regular trucks but can carry way more passengers and payloads? It does take a little to get used to the look but eventually function always dictate look especially for things like a truck. As usual only Tesla has the vision and is willing to take the risk. The price and specs are also out of this worldly good. Those commenting Tesla stock will tank because they don't like the sheet metal need to think a little deeper than that.

the owl is a reference to the movie"blade runner"

Who here now secretly wants Rivian to destroy Tesla lol?

Rivian design looks boring now. BORING.

Live on the edge people, you already bought a Tesla car, buy a badass Truck.....It practically says "**** you" while driving it.

 

[ucmndd]

What an embarrassing boner rodeo. Tesla is becoming a parody of themselves.

Maybe 30% of rich white guys holding their phones up in that crowd and livestreaming to their youtube channel will buy one of these things just for the novelty and Elon worship.

But will that thing "accelerate the transition to sustainable energy"? Lol. Not in a million years. A complete distraction.

 

[Dutchie]

It is odd but only the rear is truly ugly

 

[Barklikeadog]

I’m still not sure if this is a joke. Where can you park this puppy? How’s the visibility from inside? Maybe this is “round one” of the prototype and the production model in 2021 will be more functional.

Ford certainly isn’t worried about losing the truck market tonight.

I do like that it’s ding proof, lol!

visibility is so last century

 

[wanche]

wow, very unique

 

[ucmndd]

It practically says "**** you" while driving it.

Yep. As a Tesla owner, I know that's exactly the image I want to project. I'm sure a smug "eff you" is exactly what will win over the million people that buy pickup trucks in the heartland every year.

This should have been setup as a SpaceX event, not a Tesla one, marketed as showing a sneak-peak of the Mars Rover they've designed. Talked it up about how its going to be used on Mars, the impressive specs, etc. The odd design in this context would be totally acceptable.

Then, surprise reveal - "If you want one, we'll sell you one."

The number of people who would line up to buy a literal Mars Rover would be way higher, IMO, than the number of people who would conscience driving around in a weird looking truck.

Weird truck? Naw. A Mars Rover? Hell yes!!

Makes very much sense! And I believe he designed it in this way because it will be used on Mars.

 

[ChrisH]

Rivian too.

yeah Rivian has to be celebrating. Their price point will be slightly high but they still have a chance to crack the market.

 

[MarcoRP]

The one thing I can't wrap my head around, is this SERIOUSLY what the CYBRTRK is going to look like? Did Tesla decide to reuse that drawing Henrik Fisker made when he was there? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me this isn't actually happening!!

 

[destructure00]

Interior for those asking

wow, very unique

Does the bed have any holes in it for water (or blood)to flow out? Can it flex being one piece like that?
Ugh, did they have anyone who actually USES a truck give their opinion on the design?

 

[Benjamin Brooks]

Did anyone get charged for the $100 deposit but then just timed out? Shows up on my Apple Card history but no email confirmation or anything on MyTesla page

 

[JohnSnowNW]

Eh, decided to order one...the price and specs are there...and I don't really care about the looks
