It’s alright CyberTruck. When they can’t win an argument, they’ll just call you ugly.

Since you live only half a mile away: can’t you go there during the week and ask around? There must be someone who can shed light on what they are up to?

A large battery pack and a few Maxwell ultracapacitors is perfect for a railgun.
what would they have received if they made it a bit more conservative? not the same as everyone else, just not as edgy...like 500k resv??
hahah i can’t wait to hear the rebuttals from naysayers on this 150k- they’re toast!!!
“but, but, it’s ugly!”

Have to say, the cybertruck appeals to the star wars sci fi millennials so hard. A wrap can make it into a batmobile or a Halo Warthog. I mean you get to buy your personal AP efing C! I would totally get one if i had zero composure. But I have a family and no need for a third car..but God damn it....

If Cybertruck is a true success, "Cyber" could become it's own brand, IMHO. I think someone mentioned that earlier. Cybercar, Cybervan, Cyberbuggy, etc.
Tesla will probably need multiple brands if it wants to hit their 20m sales goal anyway.
Tesla brand could be for more conventional cars.

FTFY.My wife loved this picture, and my great idea for a commercial: Have Arnold Schwartzenegger come rolling up fast to the camera , throw open the passenger door, and say "Get in if you want humans to survive", in true Terminator style. Someone REALLY needs to make this!

Off-topic (from the current topic which is also off-topic)
Just as a measure of how fast Tesla has been expanding its Supercharger program, per www.supercharge.info in North America alone there are 63 sites in the permitting stage and 102 sites under construction. ONE HUNDRED AND TWO SITES SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
Amazing. Good statistic when discussing Electrify America, Chademo sites for Mach-E etc. etc.

Probably not even half as many. "Oh, ho-hum, another pickup truck. Sorry, not a truck person. Next."
Everything new gets billed as ugly when people first see it.
This is a very small community and everything is hush hush because they think when they announce their plans people will swamp this area.

I give you 1 week maybe, 2 weeks definitely, to change your mind
I'd guess that "conventional cars" are now on the way out--except for the retro look.

We shouldn't discount that - that 1kg ball actually was responsible for most of those 140k pre-orders.
And the Apple Pay issues
ps : Its possible the 140k Musk tweeted out is already deduped (i.e. only unique) pre-orders, considering there was a lot of noise about this during Model 3 reservations.
Since it is Saturday night (here), I thought I would point to a new, potentially interesting advantage of the Cybertruck:

How will a small community of 2k people accommodate a Tesla workforce of 5-10k people?
The Boring Company comes to mind since they are working on the Eastern Corridor Tunnel but this seems a bit too far South maybe.
And thanks for the pix of the frunk. I looked at the original video too. It looks mostly like a plain frunk in the available space.
I’m starting to think Elon backed off at the presentation on the functions and features part of the truck simply because he had to get the public use to the new shape of a Cybertruck. It’s like why tell them how cool it is when they’ll be blinded by design, I’ll just rub the image of this truck in their head for two years until they accept it.
I think we are going to see a lot of Cybertruck at future Tesla events and get updates as it evolves to its production form.
seeing one in black will make it look more finished. I’m sure they had an uptick in preorders when EM agreed to it on twitter

After looking closer at the design I agree, it would probably negatively impact the structural strength. That's too bad too as I've seen several other suggestions for use of those sections, like a work bench for instance.Disagree. That would compromise structural strength. MAYBE let the sides fold down for loading. Rigidity needs those sides and the louvre closed, in my mechanically simple mind.
I'll leave it up to people smarter than me to figure out what makes the most sense. Regardless, this is going to be one cyber ride!
I was thinking rocket launchers. Worse case I need to get another Not-A-Flame-Thrower so I can mount them to both sides.

Probably did it for more views, but Marques Brownlee had no intention of ordering the truck, said he’s not a truck guy at all...yet here we are. He’s got a big following, so this is huge advertisement.
