    Damn... hope they all are okay and recover, and I'm glad to read no other pedestrians were hurt. People have got to stop driving recklessly, especially with a vehicle that has so much speed. Take it slow y'all.

    "unwailing" seems like an appropriate word

    The Cyber Truck is really only 40K??
    My Chevy Colorado cost 50K, that's crazy.

    The article said 38k.
    I googled and saw 90k which is more appropriate

    Will this car ultimately be compared to the mighty Ford Pinto or the timeless Ford Mustang II?

    I’ve seen a few around town. They look ridiculous.

    Seriously.
    Every time I see one, it gives me the same vibe as the popped collar or sagging pants trend.

    Had to be a Ralph Lauren Polo over another polo.
    And Chaps brand Chinos and don't forget the Sperry top siders.

    Ps the Tesla truck looks like a snow mobile trailer.

    Like lifted trucks, loud annoying muffler modified peasant cars and jeeps? Nobody complaining about those.

    We do. We definitely complain. OTOH, we are not complaining about the CT. We are just laughing at them. lol.

    Just passed by a Tundra with tires I can hear from 3 miles away. What is the appeal of this?

    I have read some stories about Farm/Ag people buying Tesla Trucks, but the impression that I have is that the majority of the early buyers were Trendy people with Fat Wallets. Maybe the Trendy people will still buy used Trucks, but I am not sure that they will.

    If the Tesla Depots - Centers are mostly in highly populated areas, then taking a truck in for service is going to be a Pain In the Neck for the Ag/Farm folks who tend to live in more sparsely populated areas. Some (many?) Farm/Ag folks will drive their trucks until they drop while I have that as unlikely for the Trendy folks.

    Paying $80,000 and more for a used Truck is something that some (many?) will find hard to stomach.

    If this rig had come out in the mid-80s, all the drivers would be wearing Members Only jackets.

    There is now, in addition to the iridescent cybertruck, also a camo cybertruck in Marble Falls today
