Ugly as hell. Specs on it look amazing from range to towing capacity to quickness for a truck. All the millennials will buy them because now they can really go out in the woods and hug the trees.

Easy answer: Get the 500 mile range version.

More reasonably: by the time the CyberTruck is actually in production (at least 2 years from now) there will almost certainly be a lot more EV charging spots. There are already several dozen in BC. Right now long out of the way trips can take a little planning but it’s rapidly getting easier.
Not in my neck of the woods:LOL: I have a better chance at spotting Sasquatch:like:

This is another "feel good" toy for the well off California urbanites. Elon could give a rats ass about whether it works on a farm or tows a 5th wheel. They will be used from Palos Verdes down the hill to mingle with the commoners and back home to their isolated compounds in the evening. Trust me. I live at the bottom of PV and see what comes down that hill everyday.

BTW, that is the ugliest vehicle I've seen in quite a while. I expected better from Elon. His Model S is sleek and classy. This, this is shit. Likely a Model S with a box on top.

I almost feel embarrassed for the company. What a shortcut.

Actual production way off in the future, 3 years, so a lot can change. I would like the drive line platform, could put something useful on it, this "version" is Elon Musks adolescent fantasies revisited .
The prices are interesting, are they " real" , or are they after "Tax Rebates", " Future fuel savings" the usual smoke and mirrors associated with Tesla pricing.
I would love an all electric vehicle, BUT, it has to be affordable, functional, and I have to want it.
Still waiting...

Looks like a DeLorean with a bed. John D's ghost is probably flattered

Looks like something a child raised in a Honda Ridgeline would want to buy when s/he grows up.
