Topic: ~ Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN ~ - page 9. (Read 6202 times)

A new video going around on twitter shows the beta production model of the cybertruck turning using its 4-wheel steering capabilities. Pretty cool. Elon even responded to the video that the Cybertruck is a difficult truck to build, but that production will in fact start this year. Very cool to think about. While I still don’t believe I’ll own one this year, I do have some hope for the summer of 2024, maybe more likely Christmas of 2024.

I don’t think that a pre-Biden inflation wave price is a realistic expectation. Biden’s policies have led to the highest levels of inflation in generations. Tesla won’t be able to produce the Cybertruck for anywhere near what they hoped to sell them for at this point. You can’t blame Tesla for that though. You have to blame the people who thought we could defeat the flu if we printed enough money. I’m just hoping I can get mine for under $90K at this point if we’re being honest.

That sounds slimy, it's not surprising though.
It's the whole no PR department thing for me.
My immediate thoughts are they don't care about customer's, or complaint's.
It looks like his free enterprise ecosphere is tying together.

LOL... no.

Model 3 reservation holders got thoroughly fucked on their $35k price. The reservation was $1000 and it didn't matter anyway. Tesla was horribly late, then started selling fully loaded trims first. By the time they got to sell their cheapest trim (which was still more than $35k), their vehicles were no longer eligible for the federal tax credit that was a big part of their sales pitch at the time of reservation.

CT buyers will be fucked much worse. Although they might enjoy it.

"January 20th, 2020 - I placed my preorder for the Tesla Cybertruck at https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck.  It required a $100 refundable deposit that was made using USD via a debit card.  The Cybertruck that was ordered is the DUAL MOTOR AWD model (more info on the Cybertruck here).  The price was $49,900 and I opted for the FULL SELF DRIVING PACKAGE which added another $7,000 to the price of the Tesla."


I know a tree shake when I see one.
hang onto that $100 preorder!

This way you will get it pre inflation price if you don't cancel,
(its really easy to say its still 49,999 when there isn't any to sell)
I'm pretty sure when production begins the price will rise.
(they didn't adjust it during this recent inflation)
Cancelling would lose things they later decided to turn into SaaS models such as full self-driving.
hodl that shit and if you decide to pick it up in Austin swing by Waco and lemme check it out
Pictures here will suffice too!

More Cybertruck progress in Texas.

With the molds now being delivered, I expect that production will begin soon on the underbody pieces for the Cybertruck to start amassing the needed parts for mass production.  This was really the biggest piece of the Cybertruck's production.  Now that the machines are ready to start producing the most innovative parts of the truck, I suspect we'll start seeing some production timelines in the near future.  Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Summer of 2024 delivery of my Cybertruck, but you never know what could happen this year, especially with everyone screaming that a recession is imminent.

I just like it because it's unique and forward thinking. I don't like any of the other Tesla's as they're pretty bland and basic but this is something else entirely. I'll be pretty impressed if Elon actually get this thing into mass production without it costing nearly 100k.


I thought that would be well an truly the nail in the coffin for a UK release as I thought it was a legal requirement for cars in the UK to have airbags but I just checked and it turns out it actually isn't. I'm still not sure the build will pass UK regulations either and I'm still hoping it will be small enough to comfortably drive on UK roads.


I saw that the other day and thought it was a pretty good advertisement for Tesla. I don't know whether it was just sheer luck that nobody died or Tesla are stronger than others cars.

Tesla is consistently the highest rated vehicles for safety. Just this week a family of four survived a several hundred foot drop off the side of a cliff in one… I cannot express how much more I trust Elon Musk than opinionated members of an Internet forum when it comes to car safety. I do find it fascinating that I can tell you who you vote for based on your feelings about a car. LOL. So emotional. Tanks don’t come with airbags though. I’m not concerned.

Are you kidding me?!
You actually think it's ok to trust Elon Musk words about safety instead of common sense?
He is obviously cutting corners with no-airbags and doing this to reduce production cost for their new junktruck.

Let's see one short video how Tesla is ''safu'' for the people, while TSL stock keeps going down:

Big news of the day for the Cybertruck… It’s being reported that there are no plans to equip the Cybertruck with airbags for passenger safety. Apparently as it stands, passengers are supposed to be protected by the unique design and materials used in the Cybertruck along with seatbelts. I’m sure they’ve done the testing to ensure it’s safe and will pass regulations, but this is something for potential owners to consider who may be accustomed to airbags.

I am starting to see a trend after this Musk acquiring Twitter situation where people are likening driving a Tesla to wearing a Make America Great Again hat. While I think that might be a little far fetched, I would agree that it takes a certain kind of person to think driving a “tank from the future” is cool and something they need to be doing. I personally really like the “Starship” project and think it’s awesome the Cybertruck will be using the same steel in it’s body.

The Tesla Cybertruck aesthetic is definitely not one-size fits all. It's a unique and eye-catching, but personally I only admire them if someone else is driving it. Its way out there--like driving around your personality.

Thanks guys.  As this thread continues to age I can't escape the reality that time stops for no man and just hope that with all the calamity in the world I can live long enough to own one of these bad boys. 

Today did bring a cool new Cybertruck rumor.  There are people noticing a drawing of a 2-door Cybertruck at Tesla's museum exhibit and putting that together with comments from Elon about a smaller Cybertruck making sense in the future are now sure that a 2-door Cybertruck is in the works.  You can read the comments and see pictures of the 2-door Cybertruck drawing using the below link.

this is awesome lol, can't wait to see it! congrats!

I must say that you are one hell of a patient being, paying for a thing worth thousands of dollars and not having it for 2 years will be frustrating if I was me, I might even not do it at all 😂, that is, I would prefer to buy and drive it home immediately, but I guess this is why we are all different in our different ways.

Though from all I've heard and read about the tesla cyber truck, it is easy to predict that the wait will be sure worth it, and if I had the money, I would have love to place an order too so we wait together..

But anyways, I wish you good luck and I will be following and waiting for your review of the truck when you finally get it - congratulations in advance mate.

There are some unsubstantiated claims going around on Twitter that Tesla will be handmaking and delivering 30 trucks next month. No idea if this is true or not but I’d believe it just so Elon could say he was right when he said end of this year they’d start delivering. Most analysts are thinking it will be summer before any meaningful number of trucks are being produced. I still think it will likely be the second half of 2024 before I get my hands on one.

I don't think it was ever confirmed why the pre-order was pulled from the UK but the reasons why was always just internet chatter and rumour. At the current state it probably shouldn't be up for any pre-order given that there's no set in stone production date and it could and likely will be vastly different from the prototypes. I think the pre-order thing was more of a publicity stunt and to garner hype rather than a genuine pre-order anyway. I'd bet half of the people who actually put the $100 down probably wouldn't have gone through with the actual purchase given the deposit was refundable as well.


Trucks are allowed there's just more stringent safety standards over here. I think it's more to do with things like crumple zones etc and given the car is still essentially a prototype I'm not sure how people know how safe or what standards it will or wont pass etc so it was all just chatter. I thought I read somewhere that bullbars were banned in the UK but after a quick search it seems that's in fact not true, so if they're allowed along with other trucks there are surely some ways to make it work. It still might be ok anyway. Either way I'm sure Elon could come up with a way to make an EU compliant one. He's said the truck will be smaller than the original designs and that was probably one of the biggest issues for Europe as the roads are just too small over here.

Than how are all the trucks getting passed safety regulations?
I am not proposing anyone should buy any Tesla vehicles that are basically self-destructive time bombs on wheels.
This is what recently happened with ''safu'' shaped Tesla vehicle in China that resulted in killing of two people after driver lost control with auto-pilot:

Sounds like another excuse for a delay. Funny how a simple tweet like that triggers cult-like adulation of a non-existent inanimate object.

The only thing with the design of it, it's quite possible that it doesn't pass safety regulations in many of the countries. Seems like the US will be fine, but it was pulled from the UK for a reason, and I imagine it's to do with the design of it. Protection is all well, and good for the driver/passengers, but colliding with one of these is going to devastate any other car.

So, unless they come up with another version for the EU to pass safety regulations, I doubt this is going to be a reality in the UK.
