Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN

[OgNasty]

If you’ve been anywhere near social media this week you’ve no doubt seen plenty of images of Cybertrucks being shipped around the country. It looks like crash testing and review models going to as well as some being produced for employees. The retail customer isn’t far off. It seems like nothing will stop this beast from hitting customers this year.

I haven’t received any news whatsoever about my order. I occasionally check to make sure my preorder is still there. I’m not expecting it anytime soon though. Last I checked I was like preorder #400,000 and I think they’re making about 10 per day right now, so it’ll be a while. Best case scenario in my opinion would be next summer and a more realistic guess would be next Christmas. I’m counting on having it by midway through 2025.

Tesla’s site now lists the option to redeem tickets for the Cybertruck delivery event in Austin, Texas. In order to qualify you must have 30,000 credits, which is equal to three Tesla referrals. Unfortunately, I haven’t referred 3 people to buy Teslas so I won’t be able to attend. A shame as I would have loved to been there. Anybody want to buy 3 Teslas?

I can't believe that such a friendly charismatic rich person as yourself would not have at least 3 friends IRL to rope into this laughable MLM scheme refer to buy such a fantastic flawless ahead-of-its-time vehicle.

Just take a look at Elon sitting in the production model of the Cybertruck.



It’s pretty cool to think this will be his daily driver vehicle. The richest man in the world driving the same vehicle as us mere mortals. I wonder how much longer it will be before we can select options and all that. I’m curious if solar panels will be offered or how much the CyberQuad will cost.

It is suspected that the Cybertruck Release Candidate is out on the streets! This is pretty big news. It means they have finalized a model and are ready to send it to mass production! It won’t be long now. You can see pictures of the release candidate that were posted on Twitter (x) a couple hours ago in the below link.

Glorious leader not happy with build quality... who could have thought that having all those straight edges would make amplify Tesla's panel gap issue. Well, any half-decent auto designed would have, but no worries, the boss will send a mean e-mail and physics will bend to his will.

Due to the nature of Cybertruck, which is made of bright metal with mostly straight edges, any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb.​
​
All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.​
​
That means all part dimensions need to be to the third decimal place in millimeters and tolerances need be specified in single digit microns. If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we.​
​
Precision predicates perfectionism.​

Time to redesign it and make it out of molded plastic because LEGO.

First video I’ve seen of the Cybertruck hailing a trailer. Check it out on X (twitter):

You can really judge too much from a video of a Cybertruck flying by hauling a trailer, but it does appear to be casually pulling the trailer, likely for some sort of range test while pulling a load.

Would like to see the offset front crash tests on one of these.



With that much of the front end on moving hinges it's going to crumple in an interesting way.
Just more of an engineering thing then anything else.

Since as of now it's not going to be able to be sold in the EU / other parts of the world there are a lot of safety things it will be exempt from, so we might not see a lot of the more unique testing.

Would like every car to go though the Volvo tests. Less about safety, mostly because they are cool.

I'm 90% certain that some of those tests were invented by engineers as drunk bar bets about what they could get management to pay for in terms of testing.
"Lets drop cars from 100' up from, we will tell them it's for rescue crews to figure out how to deal with getting people out of bad accidents, and it's cooler then smashing them into walls at high speed"

Back to this.

With still no price and full specs the wait list may drop off a lot once they really start selling. There is also the issue of time, how many people will they loose because for whatever reason they just can't wait any longer. That has become a large issue over the last few years with 'wait listed cars' I wound up getting my deposit back on a couple of car reservations because it got to the point although I did not need a car NOW my warranty was expiring and I did not want to risk driving something (even something as reliable as a Honda) without one.

On today's vehicles, which are for the most part computers with wheels, even minor things can cost a fortune to fix. At times it's not even the parts but just a labor to get to the parts.

One of our customers has or had, a reservation for the CT, but he needed / wanted a new pickup now, might have been able to stretch it till the end of the year or early next year but not past that. So he bought a F150. Until it dies or goes out of warranty he is not getting the Tesla. Nothing good or bad, just the way it is.

I’ve been seeing tweets showing the Cybertruck driving around with its suspension fully raised. Looks like a monster truck. I wonder if I’ll be able to set it to raise fully when driving and then each time it turns off somewhere it fully lowers. That would be cool… I’ll post some links below so you can see for yourself.

I went the other way, instead of getting a new tablet on wheels every 3 years I figured that an older used car with no turbo, no ADAS, port injection, stick shift, is about as good as it will ever get in automotive technology. The only modern amenity I like is Android thingamabob with maps and Spotify, and that's like a $500 retrofit, people pay more than that MONTHLY for their cars.

Anyway, speaking of Tesla, I did have a reservation on Model 3 back when they promised to deliver it for $35k in 2016 I think it was, the date came and went, I think they were 2 or 3 years late, by that time I obviously had purchased another vehicle and got my deposit back. You gotta be a hardcore fanboy to put up with that and CT is surely testing the strength of Elon's reality distortion field much more than any of their previous models.

[OgNasty]

My car that I’ve been driving for more than a decade had its check engine light come on today. I sure hope Elon is able to get the Cybertruck deliveries rolling soon. Not sure how much longer my whip will be running. With all the price reductions on the rest of Tesla’s fleet and the tax rebates, it’s hard not to pull the trigger on a model 3 right now. Gotta keep my eyes on the prize though.

A lot of images floating around and people making jokes about the Cybertruck’s crashing testing that was seemingly performed yesterday. I posted a link below to a video where you can see the end result of this testing. It looks like the Cybertruck held up just fine and perhaps they will just crash other cars into the Cybertruck as testing in the future instead of cement walls.

Drifting from the topic here a bit but:

I know I have posted about it before but I spend WAYYYY to much time in my car not to have all the creature comforts and features.
If I needed it to go from A to B I probably would not care.

But I need it to go from A to B to C to D to E to F .... to X to Y to Z to AA....

I picked up my new car July 24th after work. Today makes it 7 weeks old. According to the app I have over 200 power on hours. So 7 weeks x 7 days = 49 days. 200 hours / 49 days = 4+ hours a day I am in that seat (on average obviously). So yes I want my ventilated seats. I want my heads up display. I want my adaptive cruise control. I really wish I could get away with not having them, but I do field repair work.

My car that I’ve been driving for more than a decade had its check engine light come on today. I sure hope Elon is able to get the Cybertruck deliveries rolling soon. Not sure how much longer my whip will be running. With all the price reductions on the rest of Tesla’s fleet and the tax rebates, it’s hard not to pull the trigger on a model 3 right now.

You really should have that checked ASAP, ignoring a minor inexpensive issue now can cost you more later. Any one of dozens of sensors can go bad and pop the CEL on. That could cause the computer to do some stupid things that cause other issues.
---ending dad mode---

Watch what some computers do when you have some emissions issues.

According to users on X (twitter for those outside the know) if you place a call to Tesla to try and purchase a vehicle they will tell you that the Cybertruck deliveries to customers will start in a matter of days. That’s pretty huge news. It certainly seems like they’re happy with the production model they have and are ready to start selling these to consumers!

[OgNasty]

Elon today tweeted that he has driven the “performance” model of the Cybertruck. I’m not sure exactly what that means but Elon described it as “kicks ass next-level” which I think is a good sign. I’m still anxiously awaiting any information about options or communication on how the purchasing process will go, but hopefully that information is revealed in the coming weeks.

My order is not configurable yet, but apparently some are already getting their orders to the next step. More info here: https://x.com/cybrtrkguy/status/1706115481118134657
