![]() For a truck expert, he didn't start out very well. While it is true that the longest F250 is 16 inches longer than the longest F150, if you need the towing of the F250 but need it to be shorter, just don't opt for the longest box. He also makes it sound amazing Cybertruck is a 3/4 ton with the dimensions of a 1/2 ton. Then he claims Cybertruck will have capability of an F250, when the numbers Tesla has provided so far do not come close to max towing and payload of a 3/4 ton. Guy claims to be truck expert, then says he mainly uses truck for Costco runs. When it comes to the actual vehicles, I have never been disappointed by Tesla, and I don’t expect the Cybertruck to break the streak.Started watching video. Zhang also led the Model Y program for a year and did the same for the Cybertruck until the design was locked and going to production. Tesla is putting all its top people on it, including David Zhang, Tesla’s longtime Model S and Model X program manager. Combined with the utility of the vehicle, I think a lot of people will see the Cybertruck rise on the top of their list for a new truck. I get the brutalist appeal of the stainless steel, paintless body of the truck. I think the price range of the Cybertruck will be closer to $50,000-$90,000, and Tesla will – as always – start with deliveries of the higher-end versions.Įven with the higher price, I think the program should be highly successful as long as the specs are similar. ![]() Let's be candid, Tesla still makes great vehicles, but Elon Musk has taken the love out of this love affair and multi-year delays and large price increases by Tesla are not as easy to overlook as they once were. I also agree with his hesitancy and his cautiously optimistic outlook. I think the author (Fred) got it right here. Tesla might stick to roughly similar specs, but the price would have to be likely 10-20% higher due to inflation over the last three years. ![]() However, I think it’s clear that’s not going to happen at this point. If Tesla would deliver the Cybertruck at the price point and with the specs originally announced in 2019, I think it would undoubtedly beat the Model Y. ![]() Its latest, the Model Y, is on its way to becoming the best-selling car in the whole world. No matter what you think of Elon Musk or Tesla as a company, the automaker’s vehicle programs themselves have never disappointed. Will the production Tesla Cybertruck live up to all the hype? Electrek’s Take The company says that it is on track for starting production in mid-2023. Lately, we have reported on several moves by Tesla showing progress in bringing the electric truck pickup truck to production at Gigafactory Texas. But even if the actual order take rate ends up being relatively low, this is still extremely strong demand. That’s unprecedented demand – though to be fair, Tesla is only asking for a $100 refundable deposit per reservation, which is not the strongest show of interest. Now in 2022, the same tally put Tesla Cybertruck reservations at over 1.5 million units. Generally, Tesla receives a lot of reservations early after an unveiling, and then it tapers off – but that wasn’t the case with the Cybertruck.Įven throughout the pandemic, sources told us that some Tesla stores were getting hundreds of Cybertruck reservations per week, and Cybertruck pre-orders even helped boost sales.īy 2021, a crowdsourced Cybertruck reservation tally was putting the pre-orders at over 1 million units. Musk announced that Tesla received over 250,000 reservations for the Cybertruck within a week of unveiling the vehicle. While the launch of the vehicle in 2019 wasn’t without issue or criticism, with the unbreakable window demonstration failing and the polarizing design of the truck, the hype around it has been quite successful. The CEO is known for his use of hyperbole, but he has some credibility when it comes to Tesla’s vehicle programs since each model has raised the bar in one way or the other in the auto industry. Musk has been hyping the Cybertruck as not only Tesla’s best vehicle yet but as possibly the best product ever. Tesla Cybertruck is getting closer to production, and as the automaker’s first new model in three years, the company badly needs it to gain its momentum back.īut can the electric pickup truck live up to Elon Musk’s hype and the 1.5 million pre-orders?
