I ordered one last week. I wonder how many of the specifications advertised will actually be met by the production version. 500 mile range, faster than a vette, 100cu feet of storage, seats 6, sledgehammer proof body, bullet proof glass, etc. It all sounds too good to be true for only $70k.
- ogre_codes 7y agoThe value they are delivering with this truck seems uncharacteristic of Tesla who’s product line is largely dominated by “expensive but you’ll love it anyhow” vehicles.
- dreamcompiler 7y agoI'd be very concerned about that glass. If your car has a collision and the doors jam, a firefighter can get you out of an ordinary vehicle by breaking the glass with a $5 tool. If the glass is shatterproof, they can still get you out but perhaps not before you burn to death.

- elliekelly 7y agoCurious if you’ve ever owned a truck before or if this will be your first? I’ve seen a lot of articles saying that Tesla is great at bringing in new customers but that the truck drivers are notoriously resistant to change and much more brand loyal than typical car buyers.
- topspin 7y ago> 500 mile range When you go to https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck the advertised figure in "300+MI". I don't know where one finds 500 but that's not the top line figure that appears on front page of the official site...
- zaroth 7y agoClick the 3rd tier trim (tri-motor) and the range updates to "500+MI".
- grecy 7y agoWhen it comes to the key specifications of their vehicles, Tesla have never, ever under delivered on their key promises. I have no doubt it will do all the things you listed, likely exceeding some of them. I won't be at all surprised if it looks a little different - you can google the original Model S prototype compared to the actual, and the Model 3. They tweak some things, but overall I strongly believe you'll get what you ordered.
- impulser_ 7y agoElon is notorious for broken promises lol. But I guess it depends on what you mean by key promises.
