    A coworker had the opportunity to ride in one this past weekend. He said it was very obnoxious how much traffic this truck attracts on the road. They couldn't use auto-pilot due to people crowding them on the road to get pictures.

    When this thread was started, the range was supposed to be up to 500 miles and price 40k.

    Minor Update - actual range reported to be around 250 and the base price is 81k.

    It's the equivalent of wearing a pink tuxedo at a funeral. people are going to look.
    I think it's a positive for Tesla because it continues to bring brand awareness. As they say, no such thing as bad publicity.

    It's what I like about Porsches especially a 911 turbo. Subtle enough to go grocery shopping yet can outrun a supercar..

    Doug talks about this in another video on why he doesn't like Lambos. it's just toooo much attention ALL the time.

    Elon Musk in a nutshell.


    Don't forget that it was delivered 3-4 years after promised, if you want the Full Musk Experience.


    Sorry, I missed @Sajan 's spot on comment.

    To collect...

    I doubt he is doing his errands in it.

    Which is what you would do in a cybertruck. HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO RUN OVER THE PEASANTS.

    Doug absolutely drives his cars. He doesn't sit on them.

    I didn't say he doesn't drive his cars. he certainly puts miles on them.

    I just said he is not driving his countach to do errands. if he is, great.

    If you don't like the overly simplistic feel of the Model Y, you won't like the Cyber Truck. The interior feels very roomy and more simplistic than the Model Y. The rolling bed cover is also very simple. The gate uses hydrolics so a 5 year old can close it.

    LOL at "rap video appearances"

    You know what else has that? Shitty alcohol and bad clothing.
