Well there you go. Seems like they beat Tesla to the market again.Actually, I think Rivian is now allow to sell them to others as Amazon released them from that part of their agreement. Read about that this past summer.

And by years.... It's funny how people (some) want to compare the Rivian (or Lightening) to the Cybertruck, when the Rivian/Lightning design is three years or more than the Cybertruck. That's like comparing my new Android Fold5 to an iPhone 11 (which still may win!). So, Telsa had plenty of time to copy (like the Range Extender) and best Rivian's/Ford's offering, price and features. In some ways, being, "last to market," could be considered an advantage.Well there you go. Seems like they beat Tesla to the market again.
I hear ya, but the CT does have a few convenience issues I actually prefer - it comes down to preferences. I like the adjustable ride height, shorter turning radius, quicker charge time and availability of SC network, dog mode, park and warm it in my garage etc. I'm not dissing Ford, heck I own one (have owned a half dozen Ford trucks) but I'll be switching it out whenever the CT is available to me. I own another Tesla and some of those things are very easy to get used to.If you compare the AWD Cybertruck to the AWD F150 Lightning… apples to apples vehicles… then you will see that the Lightning has similar range, towing, payload, acceleration plus a more spacious cabin plus a huge frunk but can be picked up right now for around $72k *today* (in the Lariat trim !) and is a 2yr old vehicle not even designed as a pure EV platform. Meanwhile the Cybertruck is $79k+ and who knows when you will be able to get one…. So yeah… a tad underwhelming in terms of cost/value
Yes. There are several features I do like about the CT as far as not worrying about scratches and dents, the maneuverability, and the look. If it was just a normal pickup, I simply wouldn’t care for it as much.I hear ya, but the CT does have a few convenience issues I actually prefer - it comes down to preferences.

What’s your view on the SS refrigerator like fingerprint magnet syndrome?!Yes. There are several features I do like about the CT as far as not worrying about scratches and dents, the maneuverability, and the look. If it was just a normal pickup, I simply wouldn’t care for it as much.
I think my vanity plate will be: H8 IT? GFY

Why? Look how many people are dancing in the streets because they think the Cybertruck (to be delivered next year) is better than all of the in production for three years competition....
#letpeoplelikewhattheylikeWhat’s your view one the SS refrigerator like fingerprint magnet syndrome?!
What is that?stone-gas looker
I know so many pickup drivers that haven’t put anything in the back bigger than a potted plant or a 2x4.We will find out once the towing, range and hauling test start.
That’s true, a lot show/“look at me” trucks out there. For this group, the Cybertruck may be a great fit.I know so many pickup drivers that haven’t put anything in the back bigger than a potted plant or a 2x4.

It almost seems like it’s a natural law. The more positive hype about something exists, there must be an equal and opposite level against it to balance the natural order of things.Off topic, but this image keeps popping into my mind as I read many of these posts:
It’s weird, and I can’t explain it.

The price is high. This will come down.IMO Tesla has nobody to blame for this other than themselves.
Had they set reasonable and attainable expectations from the beginning instead of vaporware lies to build hype for four years, I think the whole delivery event and published specs would actually be pretty well received.
But they didn’t. They sold everyone on a set of goods and promises that they flatly failed to deliver. The people who believed them (despite all available evidence to the contrary) are rightly disappointed.

The Cybertruck AWD could drop 10% today and still would be priced parity with how much a F150 lightning AWD in lariat trim costs right now.In November of 2018 the Plaid Model X was $140k today with autopilot it costs about $101k. And if I remember before that you could pay $150k for a fully loaded X without FSD.
The price will come down for the CT significantly in the future and it will be interesting to see how everyone reacts when that happens.
