I certainly agree to this and imho it's one of the "points" that makes people not choose it.


I would rather go for a Tesla model X or a Maserati Levante.

I am curious as to what you are doing that makes you need a cybertruck. Are you regularly towing heavy things? It does appear that Tesla has an advantage over other trucks with their cybertruck.

IMO, the cybertruck is ugly and I see no reason to buy one over a “regular” Tesla unless you are towing heavy payloads on a regular basis.

Nope nope nope. My Lambo takes the cake.  

The Cybertruck isn't something I'd buy to "show off" as there are certainly more expensive and flashy vehicles that could be purchased.  It's functionality and durability are things that have yet to be matched by any other civilian vehicle.  It's new manufacturing process makes it quite a bit cheaper than it's competition as well.  I think the more people learn about these trucks, the more coveted they will become.

If anyone was interested in a vehicle to purchase as a show of wealth, I think the Seabreacher would make a far better choice than either a Tesla or a Lambo. 
"Roads?! Where we're going We don't need Roads!!!"

You are right, bitcoin hodl'ers bought Lamborghinis to show off their bitcoin wealth. I updated my post accordingly.

It is actually a Lamborghini, not Ferrari. I think it was actually unusual for people to buy Lamborghinis with bitcoin, there were a few dealers that had merchant accounts with payment processors and sold a small number of cars with people sending bitcoin to their payment processor, but most of the time I believe people sold their bitcoin on an exchange, and used the proceeds to buy a Lambo.

They had me at bulletproof. 



The Cybertruck is all about substance over style.  The stainless-steel exoskeleton design is a game changer.



Elon has stated, "If we get lucky, we'll be able to do a few deliveries toward the end of this year, but I expect volume production to be in 2022," so your guess is as good as mine beyond that.  I hope to be taking a tour of Tesla's Gigafactory Texas facility sometime next spring as I've heard that picking up your truck in person will be an option that includes a tour.  It would be great to document the tour as well as the self driven trip home and I hope I get the opportunity to do so. 

Forum should give one away, it would be good PR for bitcointalk.org and tesla!

Interesting and unexpected. I've read so many times "when Lambo?" and not at all "when Ferrari?"
I know of guys buying cars for Bitcoin especially in the winter of 2017/2018, but I don't know rich people, these guys bought normal city cars.



Although it's not the Tesla I'd prefer, it's the first post I read about Tesla that will be bought with bitcoin.
Is there any estimation on when will they deliver your truck?

never heard of ferarri accepted btc but ferarri's are expensive and if you bought one people around you will think your a millionaire .
its a sign of wealth but mostly not from bitcoin but for the tesla ? the founder is btc investor so as its followers .

 the tesla trucks design was plain simple but what do we expect in a truck ? it will matter in the inside and its usage. grats og you rich guy

I am not a fan of the Cyber Truck but if you like it, good for you. I’d rather have a Tesla car.

Historically, people have purchased a Lamborghini as a sign of their wealth from bitcoin. I suspect that people will start doing the same with their Tesla, as they can now universally use their bitcoin to but a Tesla and it won’t be converted into dollars.  

The Cybertruck was unveiled at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles on the 21st of November in 2019. My intention is to pay for this Tesla using Bitcoin and document the experience here for interested parties to see how everything occurred.
