'Through Sunday' is the rumor, no idea what time that means. It looks like there are lines to get in (no surprise there).
During the reveal I legitimately thought it was a joke. I expected them to roll out a far more normal looking vehicle and laugh at us all for being so gullible. I was seriously WTF when it just ended and that's what it was. Once I started thinking about it though the lack of paint to worry about and the overall value range/performance per $ etc I came around pretty quickly. If I'm honest I'd rather have a Rivian but the demonstrated value retention of Tesla combined with the Supercharger network makes it a hard sell to buy anything but a Tesla at this point. Aside from sports cars there really isn't anything I would buy right now that isn't made by Tesla. All daily driver type ICE cars are essentially obsoleted.
Viper GTS
Yeah, I definitely think Rivian has a better-looking truck, but I LOVE the interior of the Cybertruck! Plus:
1. All metal
2. Truck, so you can use it for truck-y things
3. EV ATV option
4. Use it as a battery for camping, on-site jobs, etc.
5. Supercharger network available nationwide
6. Self-driving tech is constantly improving
7. Fun entertainment center tech like karaoke, games, etc.
8. Full tank of juice every day if you charge up at home
I was in the same boat, was going to get a Y then a Truck, but with COVID, meh. My goal is to have my Mustang paid off (ICE MT as my forever car) & then add the Cybertruck on for winter driving, projects with the bed, camping, etc.
