I didn't even realize there was an announcement event. Don't care. Take my $100. This is the beast-mode version of a Model S.

#122Reminds me of the “Homer” upon laying first eyes on it.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#123I appreciate Tesla for taking the pick up truck use cases and building something from scratch. This is the first pick up truck I’ve ever thought to myself “makes sense and I want it.” The ICE trucks have needy engines and most of the time the power is unused. The air suspension seems like a natural fit and I’m surprised it’s not already common place. I would love to take the Cybertruck off-roading. I’m also excited t…
>The ICE trucks have needy engines and most of the time the power is unused.
Can you explain...? You have so many options with ICE trucks, most of which now include turbo's... which only produce "unused power" when you put the pedal to the floor. Otherwise they sip gas (relatively speaking).
>The air suspension seems like a natural fit and I’m surprised it’s not already common place.
Literally an option if not standard feature on all new trucks... have you actually looked at anything else or just making uneducated comments?
You and your friends can feel free to downvote away, but have the guts to at least attempt to refute my statements...

#124With a 6.5s 0-60 time, it won't be smoking too many sports cars on the track.
That is the low-end version.

#125You couldn't invent a more polar opposite of Steve Jobs than Elon Musk. VERY disorganized presenting. Badly rehearsed. Awkward speech. Speech is almost never in sync with slides. Demos failed spectacularly. The rest of the event was him with a backdrop of two broken windows. They didn't show the interior, and barely talked about the bed. Is this even good as a pickup truck? Is there enough storage? This all seemed ha…
At the very end they brought out an ATV and put it in the bed. With the exception that it looks pretty far out there the specs are certainly impressive.
I'm willing to bet this truck is going to outsell the Model 3 and Y combined. Tesla is getting even further and further from the restrictions of ICE vehicle design.

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#127The video seems to have been taken down from official Tesla spots, so here's a mirror.

#128"What does this monstrosity cost?"
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#129I wonder what it will look like when it is actually produced, doubt it passes US standards in it's current form. Needs some mirrors at the very least, although maybe at the time of release cameras will be a legal replacement.

#130Reminds me of an old game I used to play where you drove around a blocky vehicle with a similar shape. Now I can't stop trying to think of the name of it. EDIT: Was the link changed right after posting? Everyone's talking about a failed glass demo with Elon and all I'm seeing is photos of an odd looking truck.
It reminds me of the walrus (https://www.google.com/search?q=carrier+command+original+wal...) in the original carrier command (https://www.myabandonware.com/game/carrier-command-m6)
