If Musk fulfils just 15 percent of Cybertruck preorders, it would equal the annual unit sales of Toyota. If the polarizing EV flops, Tesla could be in big trouble.

    Don’t kid yourself, these things will never be used as an actual truck. The only use for one is as a status symbol to show the world just how rich and stupid the owner is.

      With a starting price of $40k that’s not much of a status symbol, more like an indicator of someone who made a poor decision when they could’ve purchased a Rivian or something else at the price.

          You can’t buy the $61k model till 2025 (I doubt you ever will be able to…), the starting price today is ~$80K.

          For a truck that is 4 years late and was supposed to cost 40K.

          Talk about a bait and switch.

            Good point, I forgot the single motor isn’t going to be released with the double and triple motor
