I hope someone in my city bought one, I kinda do want to see one in person. Though TBH the F150 is the one I'm the most looking forward to, while the Cybertruck does have a cool vibe to it, if I was buying myself I rather have a dealership I can go to if there's issues. It's a pretty huge investment. Now that I bought some off grid land an EV truck is probably going to be my next big purchase that I will save up for.
Now that looks like something more in my price range lol.
Tesla has said they're limited by batteries. Tesla needs more batteries. 4680 should be ready for the Cybertruck by the end of 2022 if everything goes smoothly according to plan. But reality is new factory, new battery process, and new production method for the Cybertruck means delays are likely and should be expected. Tesla focus is on ramping up the Model Y at Austin, and they have repeatedly said it will take them about a year to ramp up Austin with the Model Y. After that, Tesla will focus their attention on the Cybertruck. None of this stuff is secret. Tesla said this is what they're going to do at Battery Day and they have repeated it at every earnings conference calls since.I love weird cars & the Cybertruck is the weirdest of them all lol. Plus, 500-mile battery!
On a tangent, the Rivian is shipping & the Hummer EV starts shipping next month:
I'd imagine that the F-150 Lightning will come out before the Cybertruck as well. Pretty interesting that Tesla isn't hustling to ship first! I wonder if they're taking notes on what features are being released & then adjusting accordingly. They've already added rear-wheel steering to emulate the Crab-walk feature on the Hummer:

I just had an interesting thought. This is along the lines of the movie I, Robot. Wouldn't it be funny if a time comes and there are millions of Tesla vehicles on the toad, or at least the Cybertrucks and suddenly they became sentient?
Well, isn't that one of Elon's biggest warnings. Luckily there isn't enough processing and cell bandwidth on the current hardware to pull it off. Don't even know if it's remotely possible if we turn every ounce of sand into transistors on earth.
I think Cybertruck is going to become the new Star Citizen.
Originally I was disgusted by the look of the Cybertruck when it was first shown. I said to myself, "Who is going to buy such an ugly beast?" Then recently I remembered that Chevy sold a lot of Avalanches to rednecks and realized there you go. Now I'm considering putting a reservation down on one and see if I'd get it, or the vette, sooner.
Meh... it still looks weird to me. Rivian did a much better job with styling on their electric truck.
