Cyber truck

Look at the article posted this week where a guy cut his hand or wrist open while picking up his new Cybertruck.
Other than the inside of the windshield being so dirty it was dangerous to drive, a slime covering the outside of the vehicle, rail dust (all this on a $100k+ vehicle they're delivering), a rubber seal flapping in the wind, a panel that flew off on the drive home and a trip to the ER, his Cybertruck was absolutely perfect!
I haven’t read this whole thread and I’m sure that I’m in the minority, they are growing on me and I like seeing them on the road. I would never buy one, being very happy with my ‘96 F250, but I’m glad that there are people out there that do buy them.
From Car and Driver:
"The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck looks like it was dropped off by an alien race, but it's said to have the capabilities to challenge top-selling pickup trucks"

It is certainly all the rage to bash Tesla these days, and vehicle taste is certainly a personal phenomenon, but I have seen a few Cybertrucks on the road and I’d love to have one. A very long wait list suggests I’m not alone.

Headed to the airport to turn in a rental car and was passed by a very erratic driver, as if the vehicle was stolen and he was being chased. The vehicle had temp tag. It was a Cybertruck. First time I saw one driving or in real life, except when I saw Cybertrucks on an auto transporter being transported on the other side of the interstate.
Have to say the Cybertruck is very unattractive up close/ in person. I was caught by surprise how unattractive the Cybertruck is up close and moving.
The Cybertruck must be an awesome truck inside/ performance after discounting the very ugly exterior- to have buyers waiting in line for them. Or, maybe I am just old and don't know a good thing when I see it (maybe I am not changing with the times).

Actually from rumors inside Tesla, they're dropping the "Founder's Edition" soon as the demand has fallen off. There are ALOT of Cybertrucks on the second hand market now. A vehicle that has only essentially been in production since January that is seeing this type of flipping is not a good sign. You can get one today if you really want one. The wait list isn't as big as it seems as many have cancelled. TFL Truck owner Roman Micah (whom I've met) and another journalist had deposits. They knew someone at Tesla and reached out back in December 2023 to see where their build number was. One had 50,449 the other 51, and a little more. They were told they wouldn't even have an order come up till spring 2025. March 2024 Tesla reached out to both individuals and said their order number came up. 50k Cybertrucks haven't been manufactured even by late June 2024. This says alot about the demand just isn't there.
You say ghetto as it is surrounded by other higher end makes. What are you trying to say?CT on a ghetto used car lot.
I am not interested in buying one, but CT is sold out for 2024.
Every vehicle has rail dust. It’s unacceptable though. They need full covers like Audi uses when shipped by rail. Hot fallout from railroad brake shoes inbedded into paint should not be considered ok. It can be removed by clay bar, but it shouldn’t be the fix. The paint is already damaged by inbedded metal shards.

Embedded into what paint? Is the windshield painted, or what exactly are you talking about?
It doesn’t have to be paint to be embedded. The metal that hits it in small fragments is hot. It can embed into stainless and glass. Cars that are shipped by rail should be fully covered, but I rarely see that be the case.
Tesla 'graveyard' photo shows major shift in Aussie EV market
The dramatic images show a major change trickling through the EV market – and it's a win for consumers.
I wonder how many Cyber trucks are in storage.
New evidence suggests the contrary, that they are very quickly going down the wait list, and already built models are languishing.
They STILL look this way. Matt Farah from the smoking Tire did a review and couldn't find a single positive thing to say. Apparently the founders edition was supposed to come with a roof light bar, which is mentioned on the monrony and not a single one has had one. This week another Cybertruck owner just realized that the cab slopes back and eats into the cargo length. So you can't really carry whatever Tesla says. Rumors are now saying that the Founders edition is being pulled soon over the lack of demand. Elon claimed last November that Tesla would crank 250,000 of these a year. I'm only seeing 750-1000 per month from delivery numbers. A lot of people who were told they wouldn't have their deposit number come up till early 2025 are already being offered delivery. This tells me that the demand is way lower than Tesla claims.
There are alot for sale on the second hand market with low miles. I really have a difficult time believing that Tesla Cybertrucks are "sold out". I really think Tesla is saying this to keep up the hype. Unless there are this many flippers it sounds like alot of people have cancelled their deposits.
