So a 500-mile electric camper truck that accelerates like a supercar, pulls like a Super Duty, self-powers camping equipment and auto-refuels while you relax under the sun? If all (or most) of that actually happens, it could definitely mark the official beginnings of an all-electric camper age that doesn’t stop until we get our fully customized, on-demand self-driving camper pods. But first we’ll need that Cybertruck …

I like the look of the truck (and specs), but note the design of those corners on the lid aren’t entirely friendly in a rollover

It looks terrible. The launch failure was very funny. Musk fanboys will lap it up.

What a shocking fucking week. Ridiculous looking vehicle launched, smashed the unsmashable windows, and fucked up a SpaceX test as well.

youse is so mean

Looks so sexy. If I wanted a camper with protection against bears, hippos, salties and tigers and had unlimited money then I’d choose that.

Oops.

While the big reveal of Tesla’s Cybertruck didn’t entirely go to plan, the pre-orders are starting to pour in for the company’s polarizing pickup. Thousands upon thousands have laid down a deposit in the three days since its introduction, according to CEO Elon Musk, who has also hinted at some forthcoming features for what he’s dubbed the “official truck of Mars.”

Another was the surprisingly low cost. Pricing for the Tesla Cybertruck begins at US$39,900, while higher-specced versions with longer range will carry price tags of $49,900 and $69,900. This has been warmly received by future customers, with 146,000 laying down a refundable $100 deposit to get their names on the pre-order list within 72 hours of the Cybertruck’s introduction.

At the time of writing, At least 200,000 had laid down the cash. Just for the sake of context, this is already more than the amount of Model 3s Tesla was able to build and ship in all of 2018.

Thanks. Anyone know the drag coefficient? Apparently not, according to https://electrek.co/2019/11/25/tesla-cybertruck-aerodynamics-cfd-rendering/ “He declined to share a Cd (coefficient of drag) number”.

I won’t buy anything with a drag coefficient above 0.3 (Corolla) and I like a drag coefficient below 0.25 (Prius and Tesla X)

Just to keep it all together.
