Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN

[OgNasty]

The Tesla Cybertruck aesthetic is definitely not one-size fits all. It's a unique and eye-catching, but personally I only admire them if someone is driving it. Its way out there--like driving around your personality.

I am starting to see a trend after this Musk acquiring Twitter situation where people are likening driving a Tesla to wearing a Make America Great Again hat. While I think that might be a little far fetched, I would agree that it takes a certain kind of person to think driving a “tank from the future” is cool and something they need to be doing. I personally really like the “Starship” project and think it’s awesome the Cybertruck will be using the same steel in it’s body.

Big news of the day for the Cybertruck… It’s being reported that there are no plans to equip the Cybertruck with airbags for passenger safety. Apparently as it stands, passengers are supposed to be protected by the unique design and materials used in the Cybertruck along with seatbelts. I’m sure they’ve done the testing to ensure it’s safe and will pass regulations, but this is something for potential owners to consider who may be accustomed to airbags.

Are you kidding me?!
You actually think it's ok to trust Elon Musk words about safety instead of common sense?
He is obviously cutting corners with no-airbags and doing this to reduce production cost for their new junktruck.

Let's see one short video how Tesla is ''safu'' for the people, while TSL stock keeps going down:

Tesla is consistently the highest rated vehicles for safety. Just this week a family of four survived a several hundred foot drop off the side of a cliff in one… I cannot express how much more I trust Elon Musk than opinionated members of an Internet forum when it comes to car safety. I do find it fascinating that I can tell you who you vote for based on your feelings about a car. LOL. So emotional. Tanks don’t come with airbags though. I’m not concerned.

I just like it because it's unique and forward thinking. I don't like any of the other Tesla's as they're pretty bland and basic but this is something else entirely. I'll be pretty impressed if Elon actually get this thing into mass production without it costing nearly 100k.

I thought that would be well an truly the nail in the coffin for a UK release as I thought it was a legal requirement for cars in the UK to have airbags but I just checked and it turns out it actually isn't. I'm still not sure the build will pass UK regulations either and I'm still hoping it will be small enough to comfortably drive on UK roads.

I saw that the other day and thought it was a pretty good advertisement for Tesla. I don't know whether it was just sheer luck that nobody died or Tesla are stronger than others cars.

More Cybertruck progress in Texas.

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-casting-molds-giga-texas-delivery/

With the molds now being delivered, I expect that production will begin soon on the underbody pieces for the Cybertruck to start amassing the needed parts for mass production.  This was really the biggest piece of the Cybertruck's production.  Now that the machines are ready to start producing the most innovative parts of the truck, I suspect we'll start seeing some production timelines in the near future.  Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Summer of 2024 delivery of my Cybertruck, but you never know what could happen this year, especially with everyone screaming that a recession is imminent.

"January 20th, 2020 - I placed my preorder for the Tesla Cybertruck at https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck.  It required a $100 refundable deposit that was made using USD via a debit card.  The Cybertruck that was ordered is the DUAL MOTOR AWD model (more info on the Cybertruck here).  The price was $49,900 and I opted for the FULL SELF DRIVING PACKAGE which added another $7,000 to the price of the Tesla."


I know a tree shake when I see one.
hang onto that $100 preorder!

This way you will get it pre inflation price if you don't cancel,
(its really easy to say its still 49,999 when there isn't any to sell)
I'm pretty sure when production begins the price will rise.
(they didn't adjust it during this recent inflation)
Cancelling would lose things they later decided to turn into SaaS models such as full self-driving.
hodl that shit and if you decide to pick it up in Austin swing by Waco and lemme check it out
Pictures here will suffice too!

LOL... no.

Model 3 reservation holders got thoroughly fucked on their $35k price. The reservation was $1000 and it didn't matter anyway. Tesla was horribly late, then started selling fully loaded trims first. By the time they got to sell their cheapest trim (which was still more than $35k), their vehicles were no longer eligible for the federal tax credit that was a big part of their sales pitch at the time of reservation.

CT buyers will be fucked much worse. Although they might enjoy it.

That sounds slimy, it's not surprising though.
It's the whole no PR department thing for me.
My immediate thoughts are they don't care about customer's, or complaint's.
It looks like his free enterprise ecosphere is tying together.

I don’t think that a pre-Biden inflation wave price is a realistic expectation. Biden’s policies have led to the highest levels of inflation in generations. Tesla won’t be able to produce the Cybertruck for anywhere near what they hoped to sell them for at this point. You can’t blame Tesla for that though. You have to blame the people who thought we could defeat the flu if we printed enough money. I’m just hoping I can get mine for under $90K at this point if we’re being honest.

A new video going around on twitter shows the beta production model of the cybertruck turning using its 4-wheel steering capabilities. Pretty cool. Elon even responded to the video that the Cybertruck is a difficult truck to build, but that production will in fact start this year. Very cool to think about. While I still don’t believe I’ll own one this year, I do have some hope for the summer of 2024, maybe more likely Christmas of 2024.

I have one "big" problem with the TESLA cybertruck, its only reminds me a lot to the Simpsons when Homer knows his brother and he desing one car for the company he own, and it was a complete failure. 

Lets see how this ended and how good or bad its in the streets.

But the price.... man its really expensive.
I dont give a shit about this new electro cars only for rich people, they come with the spell of save the world of the evil old cars, but the news are nobody can afford one...

As a longtime fan of The Simpsons (before they got woke) I’m familiar with that episode and think there’s a massive fundamental difference between Homer’s monstrosity and the Cybertruck. Homer’s car had tons of stuff added on and was extremely complicated. The Cybertruck has removed so many parts and doesn’t even have a traditional frame. It’s built “like hot wheels cars” and is more simplified than other vehicles. So it’s like the opposite of your example.

Looks like the design of the wing-mirrors has changed to much smaller triangular ones:

But the Cybertruck remains surrounded by a halo of mysteries. Musk recently confirmed bits of info to fuel the excitement and enthusiasm of fans. He has confirmed that the shape of the mirrors will be triangular. He also said that the Cybertruck will come with Tesla's "Hardware 4" full-self-driving computer, the company's advanced driver-assistance system. The main difference between Hardware 3 and Hardware 4 is in security, Musk told analysts on Jan. 25.

I kinda liked the bulky ones on the earlier prototypes, though I think it looks the best without them as was on the original design but they probably can't get away without them for release.

How do you know it's expensive? Has an updated price been given? It was surprisingly cheap at pre-order but I'd be shocked if they get it any wear near that for release. I think it's going to have to be in the same price range as the other Teslas or e-trucks by other manufacturers for it to be a success. If it's a ludicrous price it'll just be a niche item for the rich and famous to make a statement in. Expect it to be eye-candy in every rapper's video much like Lambos have become.

People are wildly speculating over an Elon Musk tweet showing a vague video of a Cybertruck on Twitter and saying that it might be a sign the Cybertruck design is finalized. Not sure if I’m willing to go that far but it does seem as thought production is inevitable at this point. It will either revolutionize the consumer vehicle industry or be a spectacular failure.

I think its not to far from that, if i dont see bad this seems like a street, so they are testing surely outside the plant.

Some new details about the Cybertruck have emerged.

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-details-leaked-dimensions-accessories-features-video/

The most interesting claims in my opinion are that all models will come with rear wheel steering (makes sense for simplfying production) and that there will only be two models developed. A 2-motor version and a performance 3-motor version.  This is the first I've heard of Elon cancelling the single motor variant and it also indicates he is no longer planning a 4-motor variant.  Still exciting hearing more details as we inch closer to production of this monster machine from the future.

New article with details out of China about "sail" storage on the Cybertruck. I hadn't seen anything like this before about the Cybertruck so it's a bit of a surprise.  A welcome one though and pretty cool.  Likely even necessary after the Rivian truck's display of unique storage spaces.  Always cool to see more leaks about what's going to be included on this Cybertruck monster when it's released.

Good to see you keep updating the thread, im waiting to see a picture of you in taht Tesla Cybertruck when the times comes.

[OgNasty]

Some pictures have been released of the Cybertruck pilot production line. I’ve also seen them doing hiring for a variety of manufacturing positions related to the Cybertruck. It does appear that we are now just a matter of months away from seeing these beasts begin rolling off the assembly line. Still no word on final pricing or feature options.
