Apologies if this has been said, but a couple of points about the cybertruck- at a base of just under $40k, it will be the cheapest available. The reason for the cheap price? Assembly uses no stamping presses or paint booths- the body is laser cut and folded, the stainless alloy being to hard to stamp..

Cheapest?

1/2 ton trucks start around $28k.

Also, will they ever produce a $40k truck for sale...or will it be bait and switch like the M3.

Out of EV trucks.

By that logic, we can legitimately state it's the MOST EXPENSIVE EV pickup.

:h:S:h

And you used the word "logic"???

There are two at least available for pre-order for which Tesla is cheapest.

I would imagine just like the model 3 the first year or two of production will be the more expensive variants with the cheaper variants coming later. But just like the model 3 I suspect they will eventually be available. There was no bait and switch where we live. That’s usually a term reserved for dealerships that advertise one thing and then say they are out of stock or whatever. On the Canadian Tesla website the timeline for availability of the various model 3 models was always clear from the beginning.

The model 3 "technically" was available at the magic price...for like 2 weeks...then they raised the base price. I suspect they did it mostly to avoid lawsuits.

. Well. Yah, It went up 400 bucks so technically they did put the price up. Base price for a model 3 (non plus) is 35400. Most who are buying those are the small or private cab companies etc. Most people step up and spend the extra 4000 for the model 3 plus.

Well, we are going on three years for the semi thread. So we probably have time to sort out if anybody bought the truck and if it was successful.

I didn't read the whole thread - just scanned, but didn't see it mentioned where the Tesla dragged an F150.

Here's the video.

OK... Go ahead and watch the next video that comes up... :)

Every Tesla is already status symbol in Europe going toe-to-toe against high performance top brand cars.

She is definitely blonde. No one bought one but plenty have placed reservations.
