This looks futuristic....
This looks like someone from 1989s version of futuristic....
Unfortunately, the production version of the Merc will never look like that and if it does, it won't be affordable.

This truck design had better be a joke....

Exactly. A lot of the automotive press is referring to this as a unibody simply because it’s not a body on chassis and those are the only two categories they understand. It’s not that. Every car on the road in 2019 is a unibody and all “crossovers” too. There are a few areas like how loads are transmitted for towing where that is analogous but that’s all. The Cybertruck is primarily very innovative manufacturing engineering that has consequences for design. This is a design that can be more easily built by “the alien dreadnought”. A unibody per se ain’t that.
There is an important difference between this deposit and the Model 3. The Model 3 had no checkoff for adding Full Self Driving at a fixed price - because it didn’t exist. The CT deposit let’s you lock-in FSD at $7000 for the same $100 deposit.
Whether this matters to you depends on what you think may happen over the next couple years. Elon and Tesla are guiding that FSD Feature Complete is coming very soon. FSD ready for no driver within a year or so (with the flood of data from FC FSD). They also say the price of the FSD will rise with it’s capabilities. Based on the Tesla presentation, FSD when there are Tesla Network Robotaxis may cost $50,000 over the price of the vehicle.
What percent of preorders would convert if they let you buy FSD for $7000 when it costs $50,000 otherwise? 100%, otherwise you’re throwing away $43,000 even if you just resell the vehicle. Maybe it’s not that extreme, but any higher price for FSD in the future translates into a tangible gain.
I can identify a person feeding algorhytms, in order to dissuade purchases; your vocabulary deters harmony in a group.
Walk away. You have no informational value here, whatsoever.
Please, please, please, let's not go political. I just want to talk about trucks.
PS, I'm right, you're wrong.

Ladies and Gentlemen; one of your forum's "Merchants of Tesla Doubt".
Cal just started a post about the CT's failed suspension systems, then wrote a paragraph therein about it being useless altogether. 5 days after saying he wasn't buying one, he needs to supply disinformation!? Loser.....

Probably true, but that’s what I think of when I think of futuristic now. The Cybertruck looks like what people thought futuristic would look like 40 years ago.
Can’t argue taste and it’s not for everyone I guess, but after initially taking a step back I like it more and more. Put my reservation in three days ago. It’s big, smooth, powerful, elegant in a simplistic brute style, like having a Russian female hammer thrower as your girlfriend...

I'm pretty sure that's included with the purchase. Russian chicks dig a Cybertruck.........

LOL
Is that why >300,000 was pre-ordered within a week ?
What would happen if somebody wanted it ?

I think what we're seeing is that people want a pickup truck so bad that they'll even buy this thing. I mean, that lady in the video bought a Model 3 and chopped it apart to make it into a pickup truck, for crying out loud!
They'd have a million orders by now if they'd just done what she did!
No way Bro. I bought a Tesla to support the EV revolution. A couple people on this thread, have stated the reasons this fits their needs, thats the reason to buy it. It's so this movie or that, is not a logical reason to buy a vehicle, especially if it is oversized.
