Topic: ~ Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN ~ - page 6. (Read 7833 times)
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 
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.
t deliveries to begin in volume in 2022." It's a bit of a wait, but I believe it will be worth it. 🚀 What do you think of the Cybertruck's unique design and features?
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.

all-season tires not being produced yet
None of the Cybertrucks on the road have all the built in features yet,
As they work the bugs out of the software and get things like the all-season tires in production

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.
...Obviously it's the most incredible vehicle ever produced for civilian use....
That title still goes to the Toyota HiLUX

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?

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.
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.

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.

The first customer (non-employee) Cybertruck has been delivered. It is rumored that 50 per day are currently being produced with a fast ramp up planned as battery production picks up.

Check out this video showing someone off-roading their Cybertruck. When someone that knows what they’re doing gets behind the wheel of one of these bad boys it is pretty amazing what they can do. There’s going to be some awesome videos as more of these get into the hands of off-road adventurers.

you must be a liberal

the first thing I’ve seen that is actually concerning regarding the Cybertruck. Gonna have to be careful with those fingers.

In an actual case of legitimate criticism, this is the first thing I’ve seen that is actually concerning regarding the Cybertruck. Gonna have to be careful with those fingers.

Although people do show that other trucks like the Ford Lightning and even trunks of other Teslas perform the same way so it shouldn’t be a problem. Good to be aware of though with how people crowd around this thing.

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.
It’s funny to me that you can become the richest person on earth, jumpstart the electric car revolution, give the world a platform of free speech, and help man become a multi-planetary species, yet people will still say bad things about you. I’ll never understand the motivation for people to be so jealous and bitter. It makes me feel better about being harassed though. Envy is real.
But I can't help but think about some of his antics,
Helping society seems to be a byproduct of his actual intents.

The women on the side seems also impresed.
How about the thicknes of the metal?
How about the thicknes of the metal?
I tried to get pictures without anyone else in them, but it was difficult. After about 10 minutes there were probably 30 people walking around touching it and taking pictures. Surprisingly, most people didn't even know what it was or that Tesla was building a truck. They just saw something awesome driving by and stopped to check it out.
I was honestly surprised by how thin the metal is. I get that they have done a lot of work to make it extremely strong, but I expected it to be probably 3x as thick. They must be working some serious magic for those panels to take the place of a frame.
Would you say it was the first cybertruck bought with Bitcoin?
I have been watching a lot of videos and all the reviews about that truck, and it's amazing how fast, strong and powerful it is, so, enjoy it. But what i don't understand at all is the price gap that you paid. Why did you pay more than 6 BTC?, i know the Bitcoin prize has been on a roller coaster, but 6.5btc is a crazy amount compared to the current prize order.

It wasn't mine (I tweeted at the owner on Twitter using my @NastyMining account) and I haven't actually purchased one yet, nor do they accept Bitcoin yet so we'll see how it all goes. I am still on the preorder list. I would place the odds at about 60/40 of me obtaining a Cybertruck this year. The deciding factor being whether or not I want to pay $20,000 for a Foundation Series truck to get it sooner or not. While I do want it today, I also want the best product available, and given the advances in their 4680 batteries planned for the near future, it could add 10% to the range of the vehicle to just wait and get their latest 4680 revision batteries. So a decision I'll have to make is whether to wait for a better product, or pay more to have a worse product immediately. I'm still not decided, but Bitcoin's price the day I get the email will also be a factor.
Let me explain the pricing I have listed. The day I ordered a Cybertruck I looked at the price and exchange rate and came up with a price. Since that time both Bitcoin and the cost of the Cybertruck have risen, but Bitcoin has risen more, hence the price being cheaper today in Bitcoin. I included this because 1) this topic would be moved if it weren't about Bitcoin and your boy gots to get his $, & 2) it shows that a rising Bitcoin price over time incentivizes Bitcoiners to hold out for favorable exchange rates. Had I converted the funds to USD immediately instead of holding BTC I would not only not have enough USD for the purchase of the truck at the new pricing, but I also would have less BTC. It was definitely a smart move (to the tune of $200,000 so far) to choose to hold BTC instead of USD for this purchase.
Guess who got a hands on with the Cybertruck today!
I can say that it does look even more awesome in person. The biggest shock for me was how big the wheels are. They are MASSIVE in person. I was also surprised that all the buttons are real buttons that click in. I thought the doors and frunk would be awkward to open but they weren’t at all. The owner said range is a bit lower than expected but visibility and comfortability is amazing. It was the 2 motor version but he said it’s still extremely quick. I learned a lot and there were so many smart things that aren’t advertised with this vehicle. I’m even more excited now.

Ho boy! Congrats on the new toy!
