Weight is also a critical component. The 4X2 Ford has little weight over the rear wheels. I am sure with the battery pack in the Tesla, it is weighted down significantly, which is likely why it sags so bad with 1000 pounds of ATV in the back. Sam your $100 deposit would do better in the stockmarket, than sitting at Tesla for the next 5 years.

Nope. Watch the video again. The auto level suspension has an autoload setting. The front raises and the rear drops. After the quad is loaded on the built in tailgate ramp the front drops back down and the rear raises. The upscale model has a 3500 lb payload.

As of noon today there were 108000 pre-orders. I suspect most boomers will hate this truck. After all, it doesn't stink. it doesn't make vroom vroom noises.... and it actually has guts.




Check out the specs for the lockable storage.

I don't think you can invest $100 in the stock market without being laugh at.

Second, I'm already in Tesla stocks and made some good money off it and putting my money where my mouth (investment) is.

Presumably, you are not good in math, 2019 to 2021 is not 5 years.

Further, if I don't like it or grow to love it, I'll buy the Ford equivalent and I'll have an opportunity loss of 3 cents.

Actually, I already like it's capabilities and specs. Waiting for Motor Trend to do an independent evaluation.

Oh, I thought that was the new Honda Ridgeline!

As a pickup, the Cybertruck actually has staggeringly impressive specs.
Rather than carping about how weird the Cybertruck looks, we should appreciate Tesla's bold attempt to enliven electric-car design, which has gotten desperately dull.

If you don't know what Halo is then it is not for you.

What are these "As a pickup, the Cybertruck actually has staggeringly impressive specs."

As a Pickup I am curious what these specs are? As already stated, there are very limited things this vehicle can do as a pickup.

That is what happens when you have an urban milennial keyboard engineer design a pickup. His skinny jeans and or his manbun must have been too tight, either could produce results like this.

Plenty of examples that you can search out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdjfmBXuKhE

Maybe it speaks for superior traction control so the amateurs are less likely to get stuck in the snow, mud or sand.
