Cybertruck only $68,890!

[Newbie]

That vehicle does not belong off-road whatsoever. I'm really not sure why it's even a topic on this forum.

That is such a cool ride.

I'd love to be wealthy enough to have both a Bronco and a Cybertruck. I'm not, so Ford fits my budget, but man, is that Cybertruck awesome.

I once pulled up next to a Tesla at a stop light in my trans am. The cocky Tesla driver yelled “race you to the next stop light for a grand!”

I yelled back “I’ll race you to las Angeles for 100 grand!”

Good one.

The Tesla would smoke you in a drag race, and a Geo Metro would win that Los Angeles race. But a Trans Am always looks cool. Get 'em, Bandit!

Just curios how 7500 ft. lb of torque handles ice and snow?

This is a car. A car that is interesting and cool, but wouldn’t be good at actual truck stuff much like how the Lightening isn’t good at truck stuff and is more of a round town and short road trip car that has truck dimensions.

Glad Tesla finally got this thing out of the door, but in the end, just another rich boi toi.

I agree with trucks don't being great at doing truck stuff, but having traveled to many countries, I see that most Americans don't really use trucks to do truck stuff and manufacturers know this, that's why some trucks are now more luxurious than actual luxury cars.

I see the Bronco as a toy, especially the 2 door. Super impractical and expensive to operate for what most owners will use it for.

EVs have changed the traditional drag racer mind to hope for a cannonball run

Whatever, I didn't know the 2dr was a workhorse farm truck.

Exactly my point...

Looks pretty. It'll stay that way too, because no one is going to trust it off-roading. Fording water? Repairing damage? Charging the battery? The range extender takes up half the bed space.

Totally. My 2-door Badlands is a lot less practical than the GTI it replaced, but it looks great.

Kinda cool. My thoughts on the design is it looks like those motortrend concept things of cars of the future I'd see in the 80s/90s. This looks like those. Unfortunately, even though they were autos of the future then, the designs look like a car of the future designed in the 80s/90s instead of actually being a good present design.

I'm not totally knocking it, but outside of driving it for a month or two to get some attention, I'd be done with it after that.

Now that it's been officially unveiled, I can share pics. Here it is next to my BRaptor and a shot of it fitting in my garage! Disclaimer, I don't own it. I'm just a Tesla employee with access to them and get to take one home on the weekends.

So I get groceries, go to Lowes, take trips, drive to work meetings... Seems like a regular car to me. Just because I don't haul a Harley like I did one time in my pickup doesn't make it a toy.

Now, a supercar or some other complete inconvenience, maybe if I didn't want to do everything in it cuz it had no storage. Maybe that's a toy. Maybe some garage it and only take theirs out only to off road: that's their toy. Mine is not.

Looks were 99% of why I bought my wife one, we get compliments all the time. 1% towing the boat
