69k seems like a pretty good get out price at this point. Tesla isn't even taking in Cybertrucks on trade anymore because they are having a hard time selling them. Best of luck on the next vehicle.
Looks like mentions of Tesla winning this have been changed to "Armored electric vehicles" which really only leaves the CT from a commercial side but if they compete it out other defense contractors could pursue it, although not sure how it wouldn't be a controversial bid with the current...
Got a call from my local Chevy dealer after putting a reservation in on their announcement date. They advised they were expecting their first ones this month if I wanted to convert to a purchase.
They both look amazing. The all folding down seats is awesome for camping, and the roll down rear window on the r2 is awesome, feels like an electric 4Runner which is a good thing. Also the dual screens for all models which I wish Tesla would do (especially on the CT for the price).
The r3x is...
Ah cool, just saw an interview with this same owner today.
His main points:
Solid highway feel
Wont do a long trip in it again (20 hr drive from Austin to CA turned to 27 hour drive based on the frequent stops for charging)
40-50min stops each supercharging stop.
Energy usage getting better...
I get your sentiment but it's natural for people to compare things. Essentially every car youtube channel exists to make comparisons. I could walk up that hill in $5 shoes from the thrift store but it doesn't change the premise of why people make the comparison to other vehicles - some buyers...
Just being a realist based on real owners reporting.... Out of the dozen or so range reports we've seen only one has seemed optimistic in getting close to the advertised EPA range. So based on the majority of range reports right now it doesn't seem likely the CT will even hit the 450 mile range...
Oof, yeah this is rough. A 180ish HP 4 cylinder with no lockers Subraru Crosstrek made it up a simple hill that the CT couldnt. Software can/should be able to fix this but this is a bad showing for new owners and people trying to figure out how capable it is. The drive mode resetting every time...
Did a trip back in November of 2022 with the Rivian and stayed up at 10000 ft at 20 degrees with a 110v charger only. It was able to pull 1-2 miles of charge per hour on that. Hoping the CT can do the same.
Based on the direction for how often you have to clean the cybertruck to prevent corrosion I have a feeling they're not going to hold up as well as people think, especially to different winter road treatments.
The Rivian has been amazing for me out here in Colorado, especially off-road. For...
I don’t believe we know what the stock wheels for CT look like yet, the ones out now are upgrades that are included with the foundation package but will have a cost for the rest of us that may be higher than the steelies.
I like the wheels that we’ve seen on the CT but I do think the steelies...
