Do you Like the new Tesla Truck?

[Graybeard]

This is really radical

Elon Musk on Twitter

I would like to see a front seat only version like a compact truck with a 4'X8' bed. I could keep it solar charged for occasional use
In back the truck has a sliding bed cover for security -- that's is great idea!

Just speaking to its looks, I don't like it. It reminds me of an armoured vehicle.

Saw a pic of this earlier today somewhere but I didn't realize it's a truck until I read this thread.

 

[Graybeard]

you can get it in yellow too!
maybe it's the color?

 

[azgold]

Yeah, maybe.

Futuristic weapon-of-war look aside, it looks like it'd be fun to drive.

I want a small get stuff truck. That is a multi-use 4+ person almost a truck ... pick-up truck/SUV thing
But the spaceship look is cool

(Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Saturday that there have been about 150,000 orders thus far for the electric carmaker’s Cybertruck

Elon Musk: About 150,000 orders thus far for Tesla Cybertruck

well seems there is a demand?

well seems there is a demand?

Seems that way.

Where are the signal indicators? I thought they were in the first pic but the last one has a solid light across, so I'm not sure.

Certainly is futuristic looking!

Did you put your order in yet?

 

[Graybeard]

no but there is an electric car in my future.
I don't commute so I want to charge on a solar array trickle always

AWD? I noticed the truck has a range of 500 miles (800km) per charge that's awesome!
The price of $40K is competitive with an internal combustion engine truck of it's class.

I read that $TSLA dropped about 6% because of the window test fail.

 

[Graybeard]

Yep- LOL it falls and rises all the time.
Irony is: Musk may have lost a few million Friday --but doesn't give a shit --Musk is a long term player
Gotta respect a man with both money and brass balls ...

 

[Ben|ROI]

Oh I agree I have a lot of respect for him

But if you look for the articles (I can't add links in my posts yet ) the actual figure was about $700 million. So, a little more than a few million haha

 

[Graybeard]

It's just a paper loss to a billionaire ...
I like Musk: he is a visionary and knows how to toss cow-shit against the barn wall and make it stick

 

[azgold]

Couldn't help but think of this thread when I saw this article on MSN news:

Shoe architect’s car is uncannily predictive of Tesla Cybertruck

Musk is a master at taking an idea and imaging what it can be in the future. And then actually makes it.

 

[Graybeard]

A flying truck is still a truck and a flying car is still a passenger automobile. Same with an intergalactic freighter it is still serving as a freight hauler ...

 

[Jarolk]

Of course, I laughed, but I can’t say that I think this is some kind of failure. This is pretty cool.

 

[John aka]

It look like this

I think he should improve his skills I. Design

 

[Graybeard]

So does that mean you like the new 'espresso pick-up' ?

 

[Buzzshare]

If we talking about like, for me i don't like it. Look so strange if it on the road. But if people or me that have money and they don't care to spend on something straight enough to make them look different. Of course me or them will take Tesla.

1. All aluminum -- it will not rust out.
2. EMV -- the all electric truck is more powerful.
