If you got all hot and bothered about being the first Apple-like fanboy to have an EV truck — you got just what you deserved.

Unlike the Model S, the Cybertruck is not a pioneer but a latecomer, and it'll be all the harder for it to have the impact Tesla's first EV did.

I beg to differ. The Cybertruck is introducing a 48 volt low voltage architecture (up from the traditional 12 volts) and is the first commercially-available vehicle to use a pure steer-by-wire system with no mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the road wheels.

Those two items alone make the Tesla Cybertruck a pioneer (and are the only two things I find interesting about the Cybertruck.)

Nothing I read here would put me in the market for any of the losers mentioned,even if I had the money, which I most certainly do not.

Nothing I can read about these trucks would put me in the market for any one of those losers, even if I had the money, which I don’t.

How many suckers fell for Musk’s fake promises?

Hopefully, they can get their deposits back.

My 2007 Toyota pick-up has 240K miles and still hardly costs me anything in maintenance. Its got dings and scratches, a torn up bumper, a rusted tailgate and it is excellent urban camouflage when I work in the city.

Could we expect the same from cybertruck, or any EV for that matter?

First of all it’s uglier than Helen Thomas. Second it’s not fit for purpose.

All in all a waste of design talent, assembly man hours, raw materials and capital.

Is there any new full size truck that sells for $39,000?

Even the new Subaru Impreza, a gas-powered economy car, starts at $23,000-$28,000. And dealers always mark the car up several more thousand.

2019 prices. 4 years of Biden inflation will cause that.

Tesla Cybertruck Actually Costs $60,990 ?

So after all taxes, license, fees, insurance, and registration what is it? $90,000?

Cyber is such a stupid truck. Why can't we have the Toyota IMV, which is dirt cheap - but will never be sold in the U.S.?
