No body is gonna talk about the CyberTruck event today? The almost doubling in the base price we were originally introduced to? The lost of built in ramp and off road lights and GVWR and Tow Rating? Is no one upset, racing to get their $100 back?
We are in mourning as to what could have been.
It is real now, and the specs and dimensions have been finalized and released, which is good.
It is still not available till some (yet to be defined) point in 2024, and the value prop took a huge dump, which is not so good.
I could try to overlook the 50+% price hikes, but the sh*t range is a real problem.
The original promise of a 500+ mile range for tri-motor version turned out to be BS. Optional $16K (?!) powerwall (aka range extender) taking up 1/2 the trunk is not much of a real solution.
$60,990 - [was $39,900] - RWD (2025 to never), 250 miles
$79,990 - [was $49,900] - AWD (2024 delivery), 340 miles
$99,990 - [was $69,900] - CYBERBEAST (2024 delivery), 320 miles
I will defer final judgement on what to do with my order until I see the thing in person, but the chances of Tesla converting my deposit (for tri-motor) into an actual order are not looking good right now.
