And oh yes. The unbreakable windows.... break.

Cybertruck is what happens when you invent an alloy that can only be bent in straight lines.
Wow, that’s the most detailed car walk-through I’ve ever seen. He does a great job.
I don’t see it being a fantastic hit, regardless. Its been hyped and delayed for so long. I don’t think Elon ever expected to make them in full production runs.
After tax and all you are out at least 80 grand. Good grief.
The 600hp version will most likely be my last vehicle when I finally pull the trigger on replacing the F-150 in a few years. Got to blow some of that IRA RMD money on something I’ve always wanted. 845hp and $100k+ is too much, though. I have to get a Tesla at some point, might as well be a “truck”. Well, that and a nice tractor with A/C.
A couple more videos with high view counts...

However, let's not lose sight of this: oil is the biggest thing that's keeping the hate cults of the Middle East alive and killing people. Anything makes them nervous is a good thing in the long run, and undermining the hammerlock that fossil fuel IC engines have on our national mobility falls into that category.
I'm all against subsidies in all market categories.
I'm all against mandates in all market categories.
As someone that uses pickups for practical hauling, the answer is no. Oh wait a minute, let’s change that to hell no. For purposes of the repairman, the utility guy, the farmer, the mechanic etc it’s worthless. I’ll take a Silverado or F150 gas or diesel any day.
Now the city slicker that has more money than brains, it’s probably a good deal.
It would be a fun video to see this thing fully loaded with about a 3,000 lbs of cargo or towing a 12,000 lb trailer over semi rugged terrain all day long in freezing temps. The typical F150 is rated just for that.
I didn’t see a cup holder. Oh, I need a cup holder. No deal.
Need a combo 8 track / cassette / CD player...no sale.
It has no interior volume.
Get a F-Series if you are serious.
Drill in North America, Baby, Drill!
It would look good in the Starbucks line.
And oh yes. The unbreakable windows.... break.
The obvious comment is this thing is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
I'm all against subsidies in all market categories.
I'm all against mandates in all market categories.
I agree, on all points.
