After multiple years of delays, it looks like the Cybertruck is finally on its way to consumers.

    The first truck. Produced as a test of the assembly line. Many trucks will be produced as a test to get volume production going smoothly.

          It’ll sell it’s fair share but the delayed launch is going to really hurt it it’s potential sales numbers. In the span of their initial release date and ‘24, ev pickups from Ford, Rivian, and GM have released.

          They could have been one of the first and taken the hype

      It wouldn’t be reasonable to expect the 40k price after the crazy inflation we’ve seen

      What I want to know is how much higher is it after taking inflation into account…

      Edit: looked it up. 40k in 2019 is 47.7k today. 40k in 2021 the planned release day/price, in 2023 is 45k. The 45k number probably makes the most sense. That’s assuming the random site I used is anywhere near correct.

        I would be amazed if it sells for anywhere near 40. I bet it launches at closer to 60.

          Somewhere in the 60-70k range is probably where it’ll land ya.

          That’d be 15-25k more after inflation (instead of 20-30k more)

          Edit: at least it should fully qualify for the 7500 federal rebate since it uses the 4680 cells. Was reading the m3 might lose the full rebate in 2024
