If i had use for it i would buy one , but that thing would be a nightmare to manouver and park ina city...
The one problem I have with all electric vehicles is their limited range or more specifically, how long it takes to recharge them. I'm a field service engineer and that means traveling to a customers site. For time and economy reasons, if they are less than 500-750 miles away I drive there vs flying because when flying, going through the airports adds around 2 hrs to the stated flight times so travel time (which is billed to the customer) is about the same.
Then there is vacations. My GF and I routinely travel all over the state and will typically put several hundred miles on my Jeep each day. In both cases the 1/2hr to several hours it takes to recharge makes any EV a no-go for us.

They are really cool but you’ve got to be a pretty quirky guy to pull it off. I don’t think it’d suit me & I also prefer diesel cars. Something a little beta male about electric cars.
Man, talk about a bad take. How could you possibly consider a solid chunk of steel that goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds as beta male? I’m guessing if you took a brand new Ford trunk and ran it head on into a cybertruck, it would be blatantly obvious which vehicle was the beta. Just wait… People still don’t understand how much of an advancement this truck is over all other civilian vehicles ever produced. I just wish there was more FUD around getting people to cancel their preorders.
Yes. The Cybertruck is not just a cool looking truck; it actually has a lot of power that real men will appreciate. Packing 800hp and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, it is capable of going 0 to 60mph in as little as 2.9 seconds. But even this doesn't do the Cybertruck justice; it comes with a high-performance drivetrain that also takes advantage of an enormous torque reserve. We've yet to see a truck that's this impressive, versatile, and powerful from a mainstream manufacturer. And that's why the Cybertruck is the American dream in full motion.

I hope tesla improves its build quality, i know they are a fairly new company unlike Mercedes , Audi and BMW. but still they have the capacity to make it better.
i like the concept of an electric truck you save alot on gas money which is a factor for me

Autonomous vehicles will be common in just a few years according to experts, but I personally think they have a long way to go before they become the norm on the roads. To make that happen, a lot of legislation needs to be changed, especially in regards to road safety and car accident insurance. There are certainly advantages to autonomous vehicles, but the technology has also come under fire after the fatal crash in California recently.
Those who have Tesla should be careful and don't use Tesla's Autonumus feature too often. just recently a few months ago there was also an accident with the owner of a tesla in my city but luckily it was not serious and there were no casualties, he said he activated the autonomous feature and then lost control.
I believe that Tesla is already a more modern future in the world of cars. Autopilot is really sometimes a necessary thing, especially if you are traveling long distances.
Not for me, I am not going to use an autopilot as long as there are still people dying. The system doesn't seem fully developed yet. It really scares me to imagine, sitting in a car and watching how it just crashed at full speed into a truck or tree. Self driving cars are definitely the future, it just needs more testing. And after Elon Musk manipulated the bitcoin market I don't want to buy any tesla.
and also we must accept the reality that because of this being so expensive that's why people tend to deny liking it lol

Personally, I like this design, it is really something innovative. But in general, I am mediocre about electric vehicles.
Yes. They are cool, but do not play a big part in my life. At least, not yet. I have never driven an EV.
With that said, I do think that design and execution are fantastic.
I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
It is true that the cybertruck design made by Tesla is not as good as the electric car, I am sure that it is not the final design. But seeing the machine
and facility specifications of the cybertruck is very good and sophisticated in my opinion. If the design is made a little modern, it will be in demand
by people who like army vehicles. I would also will buy that cybertruck if I had the money, because it looks unique to have a cybertruck like that.
WTF?
Still awaiting the ability to pick out upgrades for the Cybertruck. So far all that was allowed to be added is the full self driving package, which was $7,000 but is now $10,000. Not bad that original preorders got a $3,000 discount for $100.
Screw it. I'm in.
Has anyone put down a deposit on one of these bad boys? I can’t bring myself to start a 2-year long preorder process.
Lots of the fully refundable $100 down-payments made.First roll outs in Russia

This is true !
I also personally saw a pneumatic system still in use during the 80ies.
Well, I saw a working pneumatic system no later than last week.
The photos are from the C1 expresso caffee en New Zeland.
They send your food by pneumatic tube.
People go there just for the experience, it is not more efficient then waiter / waitress as the drinks still have to carried to the table by a human.
But it is fun to see.
Hyperloop, aka Pneumatic tube, capsule pipelines the new thing from 1799.
I personally have seen the system in operation some years back in a hardware (yacht supply) store. The money disappears and the change with receipt returns little later. Internet and credit card put an end to the system.
Lots of citys have Pneumatic trash collection systems operational.

Again, because something is old, doesn't necessarily makes it bad. I also read about a passenger transport system experiment in New York if i recall correctly.
I also personally saw a pneumatic system still in use during the 80ies. A bank used it for their car "drive in" tellers, you would send and receive things like banknotes and checks with it. I seem to recall watching the same in a department store around the same time, also for moving letter sized envelopes etc. You put things inside a cylinder and then place that cylinder into the pipe where it gets sucked.
The older pneumatic system works pretty much the same way your vacuum cleaner works, things get "sucked" in the pipe, but this is not the case here.
In hyperloop the air pressure is lowered inside the pipes, but not for propulsion, it is to reduce air resistance, same thing that happens when a plane gains altitude. The "cars" have to propel by themselves in various ways, there are competing ideas including the linear induction motor. Last i checked one of the proposals the cars do levitate passively when the induction motors makes it "fly" inside. (it has wheels or skies for the stations).
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperloop
According to Musk, Hyperloop would be useful on Mars as no tubes would be needed because Mars' atmosphere is about 1% the density of the Earth's at sea level. For the Hyperloop concept to work on Earth, low-pressure tubes are required to reduce air resistance. However, if they were to be built on Mars, the lower air resistance would allow a Hyperloop to be created with no tube, only a track.
By doing it the old way it would require monumentally more energy, especially given the proposed distance. I have no doubt we will soon see a commercial operating hyperloop in Qatar.
You guys should wake up on Elon musk... He needed the Bolivian Lithium so he had help from the US to spark a coup there. And what happens next? Giga factory announced on Berlin which will give easy access to that precious Lithium.
Idk the full situation in Bolivia but that is really strange to have a giga factory in berlin right after that. Can't wait to drive it on mars really.
You seem the kind of person to like swim in the sewer because its nice cosy "warm". No sane person would go on a suicide mission to life in extreme inhospitable environment. Religious fanatics seem like some kind of trend.
Rational people enjoy nature, family, company of friends and a jolly good time.
There is already 3 (electric) "cars" parked on the moon, ready to use. How about walking before running?

I guess it goes with the bullet proof house, office and pulletproof vest.
I prefer to move to some civilized place and take the cabriolet for a spin.
No bullet needed just short circuit of battery, instead fried to dead.

As opposed to carrying a tank full of flammable liquid fuel with an engine that is constantly igniting it in tiny portions to produce movement? I wonder if the word Pinto rings a bell to you? The few times a Tesla crashed or something nasty punctured the battery bank provoking a short circuit, people had plenty of time to leave the car. The car even stops and warns the driver and passengers to leave the car when an abnormal temperature condition with the batteries occurs.
Your talk about "spaced" and "linear" seems to be hinting to linear induction, the types where the thing is spread either in the road or train/monorail like things. Come to think of it, Elon's Hyperloop might actually be using something like that...
Obviously, "civilized" countries have plenty of mass transport options available. But we are talking America here, land of the free, everyone lives in low density suburbs too far from stations... Since the 50ies, they designed their life around cars, that was the trend back then as seen in Brasilia. But in the 60ies you also see people like Walt Disney trying a concept of a more densely populated city with a mass transit system based around linear induction (aka. people's mover). Yes, an idea being old doesn't make it wrong, but it was never realized beyond a couple of theme parks and the odd underground at some airport and the Capitol.
So what you suggest is go back to the status quo, do nothing because your idea is better but nobody does it?. 50 years passed yet nothing was done. Even Disney's project died with him, their company completely focused in "entertainment" nowadays nobody would even guess he tried that unless you bother to search his old Epcot project videos in Youtube.
Tesla cars work, and several other manufacturers are following. I don't particularly care that the AC motor was invented by Nikola Tesla a century ago, i actually liked it very much the way it works in the pre 3 models. Wheels are round, and tend to do circular motion, rather than linear...
Of course you don't have to use the wheels for traction, but that's the way things are. Short of changing all roads or simply not using cars at all. Which is just not going to happen, especially for an American company. But even the Chinese and Europeans are joining in, so the point remains. It is a step forward, made it to market and changed the world.
Oh and the cybertruck will be recognized unmistakably anywhere it goes, i say it was an astute publicity stunt he pulled there with a "pet project" that wasn't expected to exist in the first place.
This is a polygonal shape, the closest trend was the squares of the 80ies. Before and after cars have tended to be curvy, for aesthetic and aerodynamic reasons. But i guess a truck isn't expected to break mileage records, so why not. I hope its successful and useful for those lucky enough to get one. Even if it flops, it will become an object of collection just like Deloreans if only because of its shape.
Weird. Can you really drive this thing? haha. Of course it's a matter of taste, but to me it looks absolutely uncomfortable. But it is original - yes. Maybe I'm just a bit oldschool about cars - I prefer retro cars much more even over any usual modern cars

The specifications are a good offer, such a big truck and are fast as hell, so that's a good point. But the design is too much for 2020, why companies keep focusing in make better cars while we have drones for humans?
Maybe Tesla should open his vision beyond the weels.

No its develop right here and utilizes thousand year old battery technology and permanent magnet motor, most likely.
Early models used synchronous motor (AC) developed by Nikola Tesla a long time ago (1888) but for cost and efficiency reasons Model 3 uses the much older permanent magnet motor (DC) technology.
The Nikola Tesla's AC Induction Motor is one of the 10 greatest discoveries of all time but has eddie current issues.
Real technological advances would utilize something like W18 solenoid motor or Double star solenoid motor
Spaced out gimmick toys are not long term economic viable, a solenoid liquid pump driven car would be one solution to improve efficiency.

You are more than welcome to prove it by developing a product and take it to market. There is probably a gotcha lost somewhere in your idea, that hasn't gotten the attention of Tesla. If that engine is so great, why not use it? How about all the other car companies, which one is using the 32 solenoid motor?
I like competing ideas, its still inline with Elon's push to electrify the world's transportation.
While we are at it, which of them is used in the "Cybertruck"? AC or DC? Unfortunately power always comes from DC, the not so old Li-ion (and derivatives) batteries.
The discussion is about spaced out motor/car. There is absolutely noting spaced out about DC/AC motor or flat paneling that was/is reserved to backyard homemade fabrications.
A solenoid and DC motor is fundamentally the same operation except one moves circles the other linear. Circular can never be as efficient as linear.
If someone wants there is all sorts of spaced out options available in modern engineering a common computer fan or other cheap appliance motor is not one of them. The desire must be there
Any cheap mobile phone/laptop.... has Li-ion batteries. Jamming a lot of them together and create a drive-able coffin (death trap) is not everyone dream.
Why did Tesla have AC motors pre model 3? I dont know ask Elon, Three possibility's.
1. if you start of with retarded* version its easy to make "improvements" in later models.
*Taking a DC power source (battery) and use a inverter to power a 3 phase synchronous alternating current motor (AC) is not efficient, inverters are notoriously inefficient.
2. to name the car a Tesla, without a AC motor why is it named a Tesla, because of the Radio, wireless....which also come from Nikola Tesla
3. combination of 1 and 2

Tesla is moving in the right direction, i hope that one day we can get something like this . From those that don't recognize it, it is vehicle from Aliens
Well i hope one day we are free of guns, production outlawed and no-one has any. Fail to see the good in it.. From those that don't recognize it, it is vehicle from Aliens Moving crazy amount of pounds to go from A to B is not environment friendly, economical, or practical.
A friend of mine is now on the second Tesla been lots of time with him on city traffic and also long distance, i would go crazy with that thing.

Announced autonomy will be crazy amazing! In the past 4 years only once I have done a trip that would have needed to stop and recharge the batteries before arrival. But also, with 400 miles (670km) of autonomy, you need a coffee stop / toilet break at least once or twice before the battery is empty ( driving at aprox 75km/h between cities).

I'm curious, why only now that there is a "truck" you are interested? None of the previous models work for you? Do you really need to be traveling long distances in a truck rather than a sedan?
By 2021 these cars will be even cheaper. You can already buy an used model S for almost the same price of a new model 3. There is also the other car manufacturers bringing their electric cars which will bring options and competition in the market.
Oh and someone actually modded a regular model S into a truck, it doesn't look like the cybertruck at all, its just a half model s with a flat back, and its actually working fine. Of course it doesn't fit 4 people but the usual 2, and i think its smaller and compact, which is very useful in certain places (probably not so much in America).
I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
The design is awesome!
I think that everyone who will be able to purchase this truck will buy the ability to go to Mars with it and drive it there. It is a truck from outer space both in the design and in the characteristics!

I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
The design is awesome!
I think that everyone who will be able to purchase this truck will buy the ability to go to Mars with it and drive it there. It is a truck from outer space both in the design and in the characteristics!
I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
I know right, But I still want it
It looks incredible. But to be honest, I can’t imagine this car on the street. This car would look cool in some relevant landscapes (such as Iceland, or some desert). But when I imagine that this car will be stuck in traffic in an ordinary city, it makes me laugh.
sooner it will be cool looking in city also,and besides being a truck?does it looks for appropriate in city compared to Ford designs? I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
I know right, But I still want it
That car I wouldn't buy it to use it as a pick-up truck. I would simply buy it because it has a high cool factor in my mind. Call me crazy but I would have a high self satisfaction
driving one. It's not about carrying a lot of weight or trailers but enjoying your experience.
It's the same "idea" as why people prefer to buy a BMW or Mercedes to a Renault (obviously if they can afford one)

I really like the truck, but i am not a fan of big cars, and i cannot afford 40k to buy a car, is too exponsive for a young person with no job like me.
I wish Tesla launch a Mini version of that truck, size of a old 1965 Morris Mini Cooper, that will be super cool.
Only one or two seats, and make it affordable for poor people like me.

I think it looks neat, like the delorean truck.
To be fair, Odds are that in 2021 if the BTC price prediction of Stock to Flow are almost fulfilled I will pull the trigger and get one.
You could get the mid-model for 0.25 BTC at the end of 2021 if predictions come true.
Sounds like child's fairy tale. More power BTC gains more pressure on users will be.
It's not aesthetically appealing at all, but you know it's quality because it's made by Tesla, and the asking price isn't high considering the specs either.

Yes indeed,
This is why I bought 0.5 BTC a couple of days ago when it dipped to $6.8k
One truck for me and one for my wife
I can't wait to see what future EV will be in the next 5 to 10 years.
With Luck we will have Solid state batteries and autonomy of several thousands miles.
Great car with a great price but the glass demo destroyed everything
And it lost 20 points on the stock market, ouch.

Announced autonomy will be crazy amazing! In the past 4 years only once I have done a trip that would have needed to stop and recharge the batteries before arrival. But also, with 400 miles (670km) of autonomy, you need a coffee stop / toilet break at least once or twice before the battery is empty ( driving at aprox 75km/h between cities).

To drive on Mars would be great. Don't see the cybertruck with its design cruzing through the city..
One thing is for sure, it will draw a lot of attention. Maybe that's the intent, you are not driving "just a truck", but "The Cybertruck"...
Technically, any electric cars would work fine in Mars as they are. But it might probably be too dangerous to drive an Earth Tesla vehicle on Mars, even with roads built. I imagine proper martian vehicles would be far more under-powered (or bigger), as everything there weights so much less... (62% less).
I wonder how the side mirrors are going to be implemented. It would be cool if they were lcd screens too.
Why would it even need side mirrors? Just use the main screen to project a 3D overview all around you.
There is also a chance this truck will be released without driver controls. Self driving vehicles are just a couple years away.

I like it, to me it's something freaky awesome, I've never expected to see such car and definitely not from Elon. I think it's so innovative and futuristic. Btw all models of Tesla are amazing
I might have to wait for the second generation model with unbreakable windows.

Before it was exhibited.. Cybertruck's windowpanes were tested against hard objects, so everything was according to Elon's plan
It was very funny to see Elon's expression when Cybertruck's window glass cracked.. Poor Elon
and i believe being bullet proof is not included in specs (joke) but i know improvement is coming soon specially in glass issues.
Trucks are used a lot in towing, ah all the fun at charging stations with monster trailers attached.
Towing also reduces range a lot so more frequented visits to charging station.

When I was a kid I used to draw cars like this. I used to be told that my drawing skills suck. Guess what, I WAS RIGHT and everyone
else was wrong. That cybertruck I want it right now

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I might need to own one of these.
It was certainly not what people were expecting but if they manage to make it work in a way where they do not need to cut back/remove any of the specs, then it will be a really good choice i think. Competition is coming to Tesla but at this moment i feel they are still firmly ahead
Peculiar design, quite the departure from previous models. I wonder if they wanted to project some sort of "rugged" utilitarian image?
Of course the internal specs are what matter, the facade is just that. I suppose a truck doesn't need to be speeding in a raceway and doesn't care about aerodynamics much, and maybe this polygonal exterior chassis is cheaper/easier to manufacture?
So the price is about the same as the model 3. Its probably fundamentally the same thing in a different body.
Hmm those windows... Its like when Bill Gates did that Windows demo and got BSOD

they said it looks ugly, as a joke
but with that size, the wheels, the specs, and the look straigh from a fiction movie, I think it's so dope... hottest on the internet right now, and I really think they would out-selling this truck, such a new meta for automarket =]]] and I love it

An upgrade decades in the making, was worth every minute of it.

the car looks like a spaceship, I hope under the hood it is the same
The car looks ugly, I know it's still futuristic. But who will buy it for me remains a mystery. I prefer the concept of Mercedes cars.
you can afford it if only if you wait for more years. price will definitely go down.
sorry, is that car meant for War or what. it looks sharp. i am bet it is powered by electricity. very sharp and flat. i don;t think we can afford this.

The car design likely video gaming car is possible unbreakable windows if setting bullet proof glass in the window all over the choose great black color car, car model is so older.
Probably better to wait until the second generation. Regardless, I made a reservation. It's refundable after all.
I was watching the live stream when the glass broke.. then on the second window. He laughed, but he started sweating after that. It was painful to watch him boast about the car with two broken windows.
I think that the people who buy the truck will realize that this is not a big deal. The truck itself is awesome. He will crack the midwest truck segment given enough time.

Awesome design.Tesla is the new inventor of modern vehicle market.All the versions are high end series.

https://www.tesla.com/cybertruckI think it looks amazing and so does Elon , but he did get a bit embarrassed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50514026
Yeah that Glass demo was hilarious lol. I feel bad for Elon he had to continue the presentation with that broken glass.

The design is out of the box 
, looks cool and robotic 
I like Tesla and Elon

I hope that's not the final design. It looks very polygonal and ugly tbh.
This thing looks awesome! I've never been a truck guy, but starting at under 40K before incentives, this thing is definitely tempting.
Need to see how much they're charging for the Tesla ATV too!
