While I have purchased my last six vehicles brand new, the most expensive one was $23k (MSRP $27k). I was doing a 'Tesla stretch' to get the $50k cybertruck. I would still be buying at $67k now, but $100k ($106k with taxes) is just too much. Bitcoin is the wildcard though. I would not need to sell any to buy in my budget as stated. And that is the point for me, being responsible based on my own finances. Yes, I still have considered splurging and selling Bitcoin to get it, but don't think I will.

I will probably be ordering a lowest priced inventory model Y before the end of March, getting me new wheels for $35k, making the $106k even more crazy.

Keep in mind if you take DELIVERY by the end of March you can get either 5000 or 10000 (with trade in) free supercharging miles. [In the US, don't know about the rest of the world] Just ordering gets you nothing.

I don't know your situation but figuring 4 miles per KWh that's 1250 or 2500 KWh not a lot of money but it's something, assuming you are in the $0.25 KWh range for power.

Looks like Tesla hasn't started suing Cybertruck sellers yet for the $50,000 they threatened, but they are cancelling orders for people who are caught selling their truck and banning them from buying future Tesla products. While they are refunding existing orders, new orders made by those who have been caught selling their truck will not be refunded. I hope this is the beginning of the crackdown and as stated in the below article, buyers should have been limited to 1 from the beginning. In any event, I hope we see more cancelled orders and less resellers getting their hands on these. Those of us who actually want to drive them should be prioritized.

I have a neighbor that wants me to use his referral, and they are a good neighbor!

Oh... if I do get a cybertruck, it is going to have some Bitcoin branding on it. Even would consider Bitcoin orange as a wrap at some point, but I also would love it naked too.

Was worth a shot.

I didn't realize they were giving out 1,000 points for test drives or I would have tried harder to amass points with some sort of bribe or something to accelerate mine. Still glad I have enough points for some Cybertruck merch but I want that immediate delivery! A couple sales referrals would do it now. Too bad nobody I know wants an electric car. Embarrassed

I could definitely get talked into wrapping it orange. I saw a picture of an orange one with a black pillar delete style wrap on it that I wouldn't mind driving in honor of Bitcoin. I also like the idea of green fading into black to somewhat match my Nasty branding.

Why did you pay more than 6 BTC?

Because Tesla (and all electric vehicles) is one big ponzi scheme and clown Elon tricked many people by adding, then removing Bitcoin support from tesla website, and dumping bitcoin.
Everything about Elon is fake, but if some people like to waste money aka bitcoin on steel junk that will become useless soon, go for it.

I am in the same boat. I have a very low order number, ordered it within minutes of the prices being shown. I have the ability to configure in my account now, but don't want to spend $20k extra and lose the $7500 federal tax credit. In other words its $27k penalty to order now.

Of course someone just sold one for $200k plus.

Damn, you could buy it and don’t? That’s crazy. You get full self driving, lifetime premium connectivity, and a few other things thrown in with that $20K. In reality, it’s probably only a $12K penalty to get it early and you could sell it for a profit and rebuy one when the price drops probably for free before you wait for a regular invite. Only reason I’m OK with waiting is because I think I’ll end up paying less than 1 BTC for mine the way things are going, but if I got the email invite I’d configure immediately.

What was the first 5 digits of your preorder number? I’m 11322.

Totally understandable. Thinking about it, I guess there is a big risk if you did buy, by the time you take delivery they aren’t selling at a premium anymore. If it doesn’t fit your financial plan, it doesn’t fit. If you don’t have anyone giving you a referral for that model Y, let me know. 3 free months of auto-pilot and me a step closer to getting one of these beasts to showcase for the community.

Thanks for posting your order number. I’m still so far…

Thanks to those who PM’d me for my referral link and scheduled a test drive. It doesn’t tell me who does the test drives or purchases, only that they’ve been done or I’d thank you personally. Up until March 1st they are giving 10x the credits so each free test drive does move me a lot closer to being able to accelerate my preorder for the cybertruck! If you haven’t driven a model s before, might be a good time.

I don’t think this is true but I am seeing people talk about it on social media. When I looked in my account this reward wasn’t listed, but who knows… Maybe they’re rolling it out or something. In any event, if anybody wants to test drive a Tesla or buy one with my referral code you get 3 months of full self driving for free or $500 solar products… PM me if interested.

Look at some of the crazy mods people are doing! This particular cybertruck is owned by @heavydsparks. Now let me see these tracks get stuck in snow lol. Although I think the range of this vehicle may be very limited. This would make a good riddle stimulus: how many triangles are in the image Grin

I’m seeing a lot of reports that Tesla is asking owners of the Cybertruck to remove the wheel covers to avoid them wearing down the tires. It is rumored that the wheel covers are being redesigned. Perhaps the first Cybertruck recall? The wheel covers are actually quite important for range, so hopefully they’re able to make improvements quickly before they ramp up production.

This family seems happy that it can make them coffee during a power outage.

An under-appreciated aspect of this truck is how it can provide power to a home. It’s like 10 Tesla Powerwalls. While the clip below is cool, the Cybertruck could power their entire house if they had their house ready for powershare. I’m sure they’re awaiting installation. No need to even leave your kitchen.

At least you're finally admitting that the "delivery event" last month was a sham. $100k for the privilege of being Tesla's beta tester, what a deal.

But there were a few CT around Vegas for CES. There were a couple you could drive and there were not a lot of takers from what I could see.

Not my thing, shrug, I have been driving and Ioniq5 for 6 months and think it's too big. More of a midsize sedan guy for a daily driver so I can't comment on the CT (and other large vehicle) appeal to others.

HOWEVER.....
There were a lot of EV charger manufacturers that had booths setup showing off their stuff. Some cool things coming on that horizon if it's not vaporware.
Once place had a hydrogen powered DCFC doing 350KW / 800V so you could have 100% off grid charging. Lets see if they get it into production.
The other interesting thing was micro DCFC stations. Low power put still more efficient then doing AC -> DC with the car. 3% loss vs 10%. The math was wonky on them however, would have to get the cost down to make it worth it.

The irony is thick here... accusing someone of being "a liberal" and then being concerned about nanny state not watching out for your fingers. Most people figure out how doors and various other openings work around the age of 2.

How about the cybertruck not being able to do simple truck things like driving in the amount of snow that my 2008 rear wheel drive shitbox with all-season junkyard tires does twice a day with no issues, not concerning at all?

https://jalopnik.com/cybertrucks-keep-getting-stuck-in-snow-1851148697

The issue with driving is not due to the truck. The tyre tread is the biggest factor in its off-roading capabilities. The article you posted says it itself. The stock tyres that the truck is delivered is garbage for offroading. If they put offroading tyres as stock the range and speed of the truck would be a lot less in everyday situations. Its common sense really, you don't offroad with highways tyres and you don't drive on highways with offroad tyres. People who want to take the truck off-roading or who live in snowy/iced areas need to buy the appropriate tyres.
You will always have these videos every now and then of people who don't know how to use what they have bought properly and posting their failure on social media to giving Tesla a bad rep. And always goes viral because its a new product and its electric. But if you look past these short nonsensical clips at the design, manufacture and capabilities of the truck, it really is an incredible vehicle.

Obviously it's the most incredible vehicle ever produced for civilian use. Anyone who has driven one will tell you that. Don't listen to someone driving a 2008 shitbox for information about what a next generation vehicle is like. Even the images of them getting stuck in the snow is obvious it's user error due to the all-season tires not being produced yet. All of the stuck vehicles I saw were also the "release candidate" models that didn't have things like traction control enabled yet. None of the Cybertrucks on the road have all the built in features yet, like full self-driving for example. Even things like the rear wheels turning has been capped at 3 degrees currently when it can do 11 degrees. As they work the bugs out of the software and get things like the all-season tires in production, you'll see less and less stuck videos and more and more videos of it doing amazing things that no other vehicle can. The denial is strong with some people. However, they've gone from it will never be built to it can't drive in snow. Soon it will be some other nonsense. Can't wait to own one.

I'm not talking about off-roading nor does the article I linked to. The truck seems to be struggling on a driveway that other cars got through, including what appears to be a Model X in the background.

So either Tesla is putting utterly useless (for road driving) tires on it, or the idiots driving it have believed Musk's BS about the truck being a rugged go-anywhere bulletproof self-driving boat and are not actually driving it. Both kinda bad things.
