Idk...
I have one on order from years ago. But the more I see these sneak peeks, the more it just looks like my Mom's stainless steel Kenmore Refrigerator, not even a Samsung. Finger prints and smudges included......
You nailed it! Hilarious! :ROFLMAO: LMAO

I hesitated for a year or two before I finally put one on order. Just too ugly to love. So far I've not seen anything that would move me to follow thru when they call my number.

I'm pretty active on the Teslamotorsclub forum. Boy talk about over sensitive about anything negative! Especially when you point out Elon or Tesla CT claims in the past that are not coming true. When they first revealed it Elon claimed (in so many words) it would out F-150 an F-150. That was the standard they were going to beat. Now forum posts downplay the lack of outlets (you don't need that many), expected range (you don't need 500miles), the skinny undersized frunk, etc. And besides who hasn't dreamed of driving their mom's refrigerator?

Still as a long term investor I do believe that Tesla is pretty good at coming up with better designs. And their software expertise is unmatched by any other automotive manufacturer. That's something you can't see or measure yet. Will they have software that changes the way we hook up and tow? Will it drive itself to Home Depot or McDonalds and bring it back home?:rolleyes:

When Gordon Murray was designing the original McLaren F1 he included the Acura NSX as one of the standards to beat. In fact he actually drove one as a daily driver. Didn't see Musk doing anything like that in the CT development. And yet he claims the CT will be the best vehicle Tesla has ever made. This I've gotta see. When it first came out there tons of Plaid MS videos killing Lamborghini's, Ferraris, and other supercars at the drag strip. This is a seriously great car. I really doubt we'll see videos of CT's destroying the current top trucks (gas or electric) in any capacity.

The big reveal is Thurs this week. I predict that the stock price will plummet on Fri after people hear and see the full details. I've got a shit load of stock so I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. Been to this rodeo before. Overpromise and underdeliver. What I've come to expect from Musk.

I’ve also seen the CT in person.

It’s only Ugly in the rear but the interior design is garbage. The dashboard is so long I think they might have a storage bin underneath it.

It will be Americas best selling EV Truck because the fanboys will buy it. Once they have theirs is where the story begins.

I also have a reservation but after seeing it in person and owning my Lightning I don’t think I am going to through with purchase. Something tells me the suspension is going to be trash…

Happen to get any pictures, or better yet measurements, of the bed?

It was pretty cool to see it in person not just spy shots of it driving or being trailered. The front end and light bar looks mean the rear end looks like a deep freezer 😂

To paraphrase Paul Simon: Still ugly after all those years.

The DeLoran of trucks? I'm still hoping for a new "Back to the Future" where one of these is used to send Marty's grand kid back to stop Elon from building it. Uggggly.

A Tesla manager in charge of the San Diego showroom has revealed that the Cybertruck has a relatively small 123KWh battery pack. This gives credence to earlier leaks showing a Cybertruck with only a 267-mile range at full charge.

So if the rumored price in the mid to upper $70k range holds, what advantages (if any) does this really have over the Lightning or Silverado?

Maybe stand next to it and take selfies of your butt?
