I "voted" still deciding, but heck for $100 option for 2021, I now went ahead and made a reservation Personally, I think the design s awesome... BECAUSE it is radical and is blowing up people's heads. If it looked like a conventional pickup, I would have been disappointed and had zero interest... I'm not a pickup guy. But I may not be able to resist driving martian dune buggy.
Would you have reserved if the deposit was $1000 like the Model 3 or $2500 like the Model Y? Wonder what the reason is for the historically low deposit amount....hmmm.
$1000 would've made me question it for maybe 30 more minutes. Probably would still make the deposit. I mean there was 400k+ $1000 reservations on the Model 3 after all....
I recently bought a P3D and love it more than I ever thought I would. My last 8 cars where BMW's and I am now a die hard tesla fan. I was looking forward to seeing truck so I could replace my Chevy Duramax. Unfortunately my next truck will have to be a Chevy again. I am hoping the Cybertruck was just a joke
I'll buy it. Function over form all the way! I can see why people who want their vehicles to be aesthetically desirable wouldn't like it. At the same time, it's a truck, and to me trucks are about functionality first. Not that there's anything bad about prioritizing aesthetics over functionality, but that isn't something I'm into.
Yep, I put $100 down on the belief that Tesla has 2-3 years to make it better. And if not - I'll get it. I mean - who wishes they had a Delorean now as opposed to when they were introduced?
I’ve owned and used pickup trucks for work and play for over 40 years now. I know how to use them. It won’t bother me if I can walk up a ramp to grab something, instead of trying to reach over a rail that’s almost the height of my shoulder. Trading in my RAM 1500 for this, it will be better in a lot of ways, including camping. To each their own, please don’t assume anything about my knowledge and experience, you will most likely be mistaken. Cheers!
Side access to bed. You will always have to put the tailgate down and get into it that way after rolling up the cover. Low deposit to pump reservations. I think they started to realize this design "jumped the shark"
Here's a concept -- what if they made the rear bed side pieces removable? You can have them in place for better aero, and remove them if you need side access or 5th wheel.
Anything small enough to be accessed from the side of the bed could easily be put in one of four storage compartments around the truck.
We need trucks that our construction guys can bash around, through stuff into including sledge hammers, back into objects and won’t dent. Looks like CyberTruck is it. Don’t care about glass or good looks. Never had side glass break anyway. Ordered 4
You can look at a modern pickup truck and it will dent. I hopped into the back of a Chevy a few years ago and creased the bed rail. Nice to see durability coming back to trucks.
"Still deciding" - the reservation is in but contingent upon what we eventually end up with. Providing details and specifications along the way would be nice - The 500+ mile (hopefully way higher upon release with new battery tech) range will be a must for me. - The current thickness (whatever 'sledge-hammerable' thick is...) of the exoskeleton body must remain. - And ideally the floor pan must be at least made of the same material and thickness of the body to equally protect it. - And this sucker needs to be chargeable using the Tesla Solar Roof v3 and Power Wall reserves - so will that be possible and what amount of roof size, exposure, and power wall units would be needed? I would not be totally off-grid but my self sufficiency mind set would like to know that's possible So why the Cybertruck? It is the first to get 500+ (hopefully much more) miles per charge and should be able to come out unscathed after hitting a dear or sliding off snowy/icy roads into a ditch. I admire EM's ideas and vision but I'm one boomer that needs proof of viability, as it is I'm taking some heat from my 'old' buddies since all I can sell them on is my hopes since I can't prove squat...
Haha. Can someone open another vote to only the folks who took this survey and see what the changes are? I went from undecided to ordering 2 in an evening..
New to the forum! Placed an order for the Tri Motor AWD Cybertruck back in November. Styling was definitely different, but didn't take long to have it grow on me. It also helps to know that Elon cited that Cybertruck "will be better than people realize" Excited to eventually get delivery in late 2021/early 2022 (figured crossed on that timeline). In the meantime, thinking of perhaps adding a Model 3 or Model Y.
