Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN

[hilariousetc]

The front middle seat was dropped because there is a display there and they could not figure out airbags with the display for the center passenger.

I have owned a six seat full size truck for a decade. I have had five in it multiple times but never filled the sixth front center position. Maybe a young small person would not impinge too much on the driver but it’s just not a high priority.

I'd rather have the extra seat than a display. I'm sure they could have found a place to put it or a tablet or a smaller screen somewhere else - maybe even make it detachable so people can move it around or put it where they want. Maybe having one on the roof that can fold up/down when needed like a sun-visor. If nobody is in the back it's useless and is in a bit of an awkward position. Could have even just used an app on each persons phone as that's what most people are glued to anyway. For most 6 seats probably isn't needed but it's ideal for families with three kids and/or a pet etc. I have seen a couple of people complaining that they needed the extra seat so it will effect those people for sure. I think they should consider having a six seat option in the future.

I’d personally rather have the display. How else would I play video games while the car is driving me around? This is basically a giant steel sports car. Not a minivan.

So not one soul here got their hands on one?
What happened to this delivery event I thought I'd see em on the road this week so far nothing.

Why would you need one in the back when surely you'll be in the front? Like I said before, most people just use their phones or tablets to play games on the go but I think a movable screen would have been far more useful, especially having it dead in the centre isn't ideal unless you're sat right in front of it. Much better to have it moved to wherever people need it.

I think the delivery event was a bit of a misnomer and more like a publicity stunt than a general release. As far as I can tell they just gave out about a dozen or so to some select 'buyers' and even they were probably affiliated with Tesla or the media or something so I doubt you'll see them driving around unless you live in Texas and happen to have some luck. I haven't seen anything to confirm that they're actually been given to people on a wider release yet.

I am in Texas . Have never seen one.
You think a smart PR move would be to give them to people who would advertise for you?
Especially considering they don't market!
I feel like they cybertruck is holding some customers emotionally hostage ...this thing was supposed to be out already!

I think that's exactly what they did. I barely use youtube but my feed is full of cybertruck "reviews", not sure why, maybe I accidentally googled it from my throwaway android account. This "influencer" shit after the fake "delivery event" is probably their strategy in selling the truck that's 3 years late at twice the promised price.

I can't actually put my hand around it, OP was saying stuff about the detailed report on Cyber Truck and how he Pre-ordered it way  before it got to manufacturing point and at the end of it all he stated price of Bitcoin.

May I ask, is it ideal to state the price of the Bitcoin as a concern?

When it was ordered, the price of Bitcoin wasn't the same as it is now so its not a concern to me. For all we know, OP may have converted Fiat to Bitcoin few seconds before he ordered it.

I had to add the Bitcoin element for the thread to be relevant to this forum. The comparisons of BTC when ordered to now was the expectation that the price in BTC would go down over time, which it has. I haven’t converted anything in relation to this order yet. My expectation is to convert BTC to fiat when making payment if BTC is not being accepted.

I also need to update the OP with the new pricing…

[OgNasty]

eBay is getting flooded with so many cybertruck preorders that Tesla has started requiring a $1,000 deposit (non-refundable this time) to convert your preorder to an actual order in hopes it gets some people to cancel who aren’t intending to actually purchase for themselves. I hope they keep this up. Gotta weed out preorders from flippers.

A lot of the delivery date will depend on how they expand deliveries. Right now they’re only shipping orders to California and Texas, which is a bit depressing for me. I’m crossing my fingers they expand to Arizona soon but we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully they’re seeing a lot of preorder cancellations with the new $1000 deposit.

Good luck with that waste of money and supporting clown Elon
Before you spend any money on Tesla or on any other electric crap vehicles, please watch new movie Leave the World Behind... maybe something clicks in your head.
It's probably nothing.

There's seemingly been very few delivered outside of the release event so you're probably unlikely to spot one. Plenty of youtube reviewers seem to have had access to them but not sure even the big ones have their own. I just don't think the thing is fully ready yet or they certainly aren't producing them in any substantial volume.

Yeah, definitely probably more of an event to please shareholders and calm any worries people may have about the truck but I still think this is likely a long way away of being released properly to the masses. Even Tesla has put a date of 2025 for the entry level cybertruck.

[OgNasty]

Interestingly, I’m reading on Twitter that people who have multiple Cybertruck orders are getting phone calls from Tesla telling them that they have to give up one of their orders. Plenty of folks are starting to complain because they had planned to give one to their wife, etc. That might also help speed along the preorder queue.

Looks like there's been the first recorded incident involving a cybertruck https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/28/24018383/tesla-cybertruck-crash-corolla-palo-alto

After Reddit user boddhya posted two pictures of a Cybertruck accident, the California Highway Patrol confirmed to The Verge that units responded to a two-vehicle accident on SR 35 (Skyline Boulevard). It occurred in this area south of Page Mill Road, which Google Maps lists as Palo Alto, around 2:05PM local time and involved a 2023 Tesla Cybertruck carrying three people that appears to have been hit by a 2009 Toyota Corolla driven by a 17-year-old.

Tesla’s Cybertruck delivery event raised questions about the design and what would occur in an impact with other cars or pedestrians. Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that anyone involved in this incident suffered major injury as a result.

CHP:

    Our preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Corolla was traveling south on SR-35 southbound, south of Page Mill Road, at an unknown speed, when the driver, for unknown reasons, turned to the right and subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder. The Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound.

The only injury noted in the release provided by CHP mentions a suspected minor injury to the Cybertruck driver, who declined medical transportation, and it mentions that it does not appear the Tesla was operating in autonomous mode. The weather is described as cloudy and wet.

The pictures posted on Reddit show significant damage to the Corolla’s front end. The parts we can see of the Cybertruck don’t show the same damage despite the side-curtain airbags deployed. However, we can only see the passenger side, and the poster didn’t see much of the other side either.

It will be interesting to see how they fair in accidents given the safety of them is something that might prohibit them from European roads. Cybertruck looks undamaged compared to the Toyota.

Interestingly, I’m reading on Twitter that people who have multiple Cybertruck orders are getting phone calls from Tesla telling them that they have to give up one of their orders. Plenty of folks are starting to complain because they had planned to give one to their wife, etc. That might also help speed along the preorder queue.

I can't imagine there's that many people who pre-ordered two. Probably just trying to clamp down on re-sellers. Given it's having a very slow roll-out and could be a while before it goes into significant production I'm guessing they'll be reselling for significant amounts.

First of many to come  
Did you guys see the Video how China is making a bunch of electric cars and not using them at all, there are literally thousands of brand new cars rotting outside.
All that is done because of government paid for this to be made, and nobody cares if they are ''green'', or if they actually sold or not...
Now that can't possibly happen to tesla right? Right??  

EVs = ponzi scam

Well that would be an issue with China's policies and their own Chinese-made cars so not applicable to Tesla, but that's also assuming the claims in that video are true, which according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD8qqEx4G18

Most of the claims are untrue and the vehicles are from bankrupt rideshare companies. He does a walkaround and you can see a lot of the cars are actually used and many with road damage etc.

Sure, it's not exactly situation like in China, BUT my point was that all this EV crap vehicles that are allegedly good for environment are generously supported by governments.
Guy that made the video you posted (probably living in China) is specialized for cars from China-only with his 1 year old channel  Inside China Auto,
so I am sure he is (not) paid by their government/companies to tell the truth...

I guess bankruptcy never happened in US based car manufacturers, and it will ''never'' happen to tesla and clown Elon.  
Companies like tesla would NEVER work without government aka tax extortion money, they work with big losses all the time, but I guess we already know that.
I know how ponzi scams are working and I am telling you that tesla (and similar) are one big ponzi scams ready to explode, but they need more people paying ''deposits'', same like in China.

You sound pretty ignorant about Tesla to be completely honest. They are extremely profitable, their cash position is growing insanely fast, and they’ve reduced their debt to the point where it will likely be completely gone in the next couple years. Your Ponzi talk is clearly complete nonsense, as is the idea that Tesla needs customer deposits for financial reasons.

Guess who got a hands on with the Cybertruck today!



I can say that it does look even more awesome in person. The biggest shock for me was how big the wheels are. They are MASSIVE in person. I was also surprised that all the buttons are real buttons that click in. I thought the doors and frunk would be awkward to open but they weren’t at all. The owner said range is a bit lower than expected but visibility and comfortability is amazing. It was the 2 motor version but he said it’s still extremely quick. I learned a lot and there were so many smart things that aren’t advertised with this vehicle. I’m even more excited now.
