It is safe to say that Elon Muck and Tesla blew everyone in attendance at the Cybertruck unveiling away. The night started like any other Tesla event with long lines and people from all facets of the Tesla ecosystem clamoring to get checked in. Once checked in, we were all treated to free drinks and horderves that somehow left me hungrier that I was when I arrived. At about 8pm, we all began filing into the auditorium as we awaited the man of the hour – Elon Musk to take the stage. Elon arrived at about 8:12 in true fashion to a standing ovation. Well it was standing room only so we just added the ovation part. I’ll spill more juice in my next post.
After doing his spiel about why Tesla decided to get into the pickup truck business, it was finally the moment we were all waiting for. The Cybertruck rolled onstage and I have to say, it wasn’t what I was expecting. Although pleasantly surprised, I had predicted in my previous post that the Cybertruck would most likely be more of a derivative based on the Model S and Model X chassis. However it was more like the SciFi rendering from my previous post. Elon even said it’s design was inspired by the Stealth fighter. I suspect a defense contract might be in Tesla’s future. Think about it, the Cybertruck is more Hummer than F-150 which it’s supposed to be competing with. No surprise that the Cybertruck completely destroys the F-150 in every metric from towing capacity to speed to comfort to cool factor. Here’s exactly how it compares side-by-side with the Ford F-150.
The price was the other big surprise of the night. Starting at $39,000 without incentives and savings, the Cybertruck is already cheaper than it’s closest competitor, the Ford F-150. There are three versions of the truck available:
- Single motor rear-wheel drive with 250 miles of range, 7,500-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph capabilities in under 6.5 seconds, for $39,900.
- Dual motor all-wheel drive with 300 miles of range, 10,000-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds for $49,900.
- Triple motor all-wheel drive with 500 miles of range, 14,000-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph in under 2.9 seconds for $69,900. (Though this version won’t start production until late 2022.)
For those of you who missed the livestream or could not be there in person, here’s a 5 min Cybertruck Supercut form the good folks at TheVerge.com.
The Internet Came For Musk
Alas the internet can never allow us to have anything nice. The internet will always have the last word and it wasn’t long after the images got out that the internet came for Musk. Twitter quickly erupted with memes dragging not only the Cybertruck, but Elon as well and I have selected the best ones so far.
I don’t know what all the fuss is about. I think the Cybertruck is kinda cool and I want one. Tesla is now taking orders for a 2021 delivery date at Tesla.com/cybertruck. Let me know in the comments below if you are going to reserve or get one when it comes out.
Here’s What People Are Saying.

- cosmiclattesippinI love Tesla, I love the idea of this and all its capabilities. But it is deffffffffffffffff an ugly truck 🤣 it looks like something my 5 year old would draw. Wonderful presentation. Thank you for sharing!3wReply
- bumxssAnd can y’all keep your negative comments about Tesla’s cyber truck to yourselves? Don’t judge a book by it’s cover just because of how it looks. You’ll be happy once you actually try out the cyber truck. It’s not like any other SUV or pick up truck out here that can out speed a Porsche. Why are you guys so quick to judge something before you even try it & see if you really like it.3wReply
