Did they ever release the final dimensions for the CT? I’m worried that it’s too long for my garage. I would hate to have to cancel my reservation.

As I recall, Musk has said they don't intend to shrink the size despite those initial discussions. May have to wait for a future smaller model or go with Rivian if you've gotta have an electric truck.
Well that sucks. That means no EV for me. I don’t like the look of the Rivian, and they haven’t been around long enough for me.
So, they sent out an ad to tell people to lease one of their current vehicles while they wait? You said this is awesome so I feel like I'm missing some detail in this article. How is this different than any other auto maker allowing you early lease turn ins to try and lock you into their product for another 2 to 3 years? Do people need an email to tell them that Tesla offers leases?
Also, that $1500 credit isn't even through them. It's through a program sponsored between Cali and in state utilities. They word it in a way "We are currently offering you" to make you think it's something they are doing for you as a customer. Form your own opinion on that I guess.

I'll have to take at the F-150 EV. I need to know the range. The CT I have on order has great range. Can the Ford keep up?Ford has an electric F-150 in the works, so there is that. Or you could go with a Model X if you want lots of space (but don't need a pickup bed).
I wonder how far out is it? I think I was looking at 2023 for my CT.Musk said a smaller one is highly likely down the road:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Says Smaller Cybertruck Highly Likely
Somewhere down the line, it’s likely we’ll see a smaller version of the Cybertruck, according to recent tweets from Elon Musk.www.motortrend.com
My garage fits my Explorer fine, but the CT is 203 inches. I need to measure my garage, but if the CT fits, it will be right up to the door.Sounds like you need a bigger garage.
I'm in the same boat, I don't even bother using my garage for a vehicle it's just too small, that and it makes cars rust faster since even if it's not heated the heat from the engine (maybe not with an EV though) will melt the snow/salt etc enough to make it work at the metal. What would be ideal for winter is a carport. If I built a house I would make sure to have a big one. I've been working towards converting my garage into a general purpose shop instead of using it for storing as a garage. Even for that it will be small, no room for CNC machines or anything like that.
Actually what ever happen with that EV quad, is that actually going to be a thing or was that just part of the show? There is a huge void that needs to be filled as far as outdoors recreational equipment, ATVs, skidoos etc. Would be awesome to see electric versions.
I don't like the design at all, but I'm bullish on Cybertruck if they can get it out on schedule. I don't see any way big auto will compete with CT in the near term at the $40k & $50k price points. It's somewhat shocking to me how aggressive Tesla went with pricing, but I guess real-world transactions will all wind up being north of $50k (as always, the base model will be delayed and have lesser demand anyway).I'll have to take at the F-150 EV.

Looks cool and all, but would you not be worried about finding charging stations in remote areas?Supposedly it will be an option for Cybertruck orders. Not sure if it will be available at launch.
I really want the camping add-on!

I camp at state parks. All those have RV hookups. I'll just plug into those and get full charge. 500+ mile range is going to be better than my LX470. I get 300 miles with my SUV.Looks cool and all, but would you not be worried about finding charging stations in remote areas?
I guess I could do the same, but I would need to add a new electrical panel to do it. I need to ask an electrician, as that would be a longer run to hook up the charger.I'm parking my Cybertruck outside on the driveway. Same spot where I currently park my Tundra truck. I'll install charger outside my house. No big deal.
I ordered the Tri-motor and I ordered the first day so I should get mine sometime in 2022. It's going to be so wild having a truck that can 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. That's better than most supercars.

The home charger only comes in two lengths, the largest being 18 feet. That should work for me as I can have the new panel installed somewhere along that wall that my current panel is on. I would want the 48 amp hookup, which means I need a 60 amp breaker installed. I think my largest cost will be adding the new electrical box. Connecting the charger looks easy.It shouldn't be an issue. The only consideration -- outside of what's required to run outside -- would be potential voltage loss from a long(er) run.

According to Edmunds, the average price of a new pickup truck is $50k. So the Cybertruck is already priced to compete with Detroit. We'd have to see the options sheet, but besides vaporware FSD for $10k, I think the CT will be well equipped at each of its trim levels. You're not really going to need the white interior or nicer rims, for example. Assuming CT delivers the utility that truck buyers desire and need, it could extend Tesla's near-term BEV dominance for several years.Yeah I'm skeptical that there will be many cybertrucks less than $65k for some time. Which that's still not a bad deal/value, but I think it'll take a year or two before it really dips below $50k. But by then, they should have many of the major kinks worked out.

The major kinks you allude to aren't a function of inherent design problems. Didn't Sandy Munro compliment some of the parts refinements when he tore down the Model Y earlier this year? The essential problem is Tesla insists on an end-of-quarter production blitz to meet arbitrary numbers. But if you're simply selling every car that customers order, why would you back load the production into the final 10 days and then have Quality Control ignore blatant problems? The Model Y arguably has a worse quality reputation now than the 3 did two years ago!
