I'm certain Elon is properly deluded and believes what he says. That doesn't excuse the behavior when the inevitable result is a lie and swindle.

Pricing Revealed

For the record, I don't even like the Cybertruck. I think it's god ugly. For my money, I'd wait for whatever 2nd gen F150 Lightning that comes out. ...and I think the delivery event was a disgrace. The lighting and audio was awful, the presentation was unpolished, and a lack of highlighting specs and plans for the future at major events is tiresome. I'm over it. They lost some good will with me on those points.
...at the same time, I think the doom and gloom over the specs and price of the truck are unrealistic and out of line.

expectation will always kill the joy-everything changes specially after 4 years. The money has lost it's purchasing power, inflation has kicked in and still people expect CT price should remain the same. It's true some people never change for the better.
Poking around the site code, found some stuff:
Seems that first editions, rather than called founder's editions, will be called "Foundation Series". It will be fully optioned, with exclusive badges and premium accessories. I believe from what I have found, the premium accessories are as follows:
There is also a reference to a Reentry Edition, which appears to be the same as the Foundation series: "Reentry Edition configurations are fully maxed out with every available option and accessory included. Est. delivery in Dec, 2023."
Other things I believe I have found:
Powershare installation will be an option upon configuring your Cybertruck. Pricing is uncertain from what I found, but you can either pre-purchase the installation (assuming equipment as well) and it will cover the first $4000 of your installation costs.
We know that Power Share requires the Universal Wall Connector, but there was also a line about a "Tesla Powershare Mobile Connector". I do not know what that might be, maybe an edition of the mobile connector that has power out as well?
There are two interior options:
Tactical Grey Decor
White Decor
Tow Hitch may come standard, not sure, but is defined by the following:
"High strength, Class II steel tow bar capable of towing up to 3,500 lbs"
There are two steering wheel options,
Squirkle (PUR)
Squirkle (PUR+Suede)
For those curious:
Squirkle

I honestly hope they just cancel the whole thing. Maybe if sales are low enough they will. Also the new Lightning is moving to a heat pump system and i'm sure some other goodies. I wouldn't let someone park a cybertruck in my driveway..that is how ugly i think it is.

It’s gonna be a long night for Elon. Reality is going to knock on the door pretty hard.
time to step down.

So.. roughly 120,000 for only 470 Tesla miles?
taking up 1/3 of the bed, adding weight and destroying what’s left. What a joke.

the truck fell short. Bottom line. Specs aren’t there.
What happened 4 years ago its already a history.. The prices will never be the same.

Breaking News!
George Santos said he just took delivery of a Cybertruck.
George Santos said he just took delivery of a Cybertruck.
Fully expect prices to come down significantly in the next 12-18 months. No way that they sell 250k CT a year at those prices after the die hard fans are done buying.
For all you doomers complaining about the price, remember that Ford is losing $36,000 of every Lightning it sells and Rivian loses $33,000 on every vehicle it sells. When you talk about the Cybertruck not being competitive at that price, factor that in. The CT may be a slightly more expensive, but they still make a profit and Tesla chooses not to lose $30,000 on each of the 2 million vehicles they have reserved. ...and I don't blame them.
I don't know about you, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather buy the car gets me more for my dollar. As a consumer I don't give a *sugar* about the company's bottom line.
As you should. ...but also remember you get what you pay for. Remember that when you're only charging at 150kw in the Ford, when your battery overheats and software bricks your car like Rivian.... or when you can't get service for your vehicle because the company went under due to selling a vehicle that loses $30,000 per vehicle. Nikola Badger and Lordstown trucks promised an even better value. Look how cheap they were! Get 'em while you can!
