Battery size? Not that it matters at $106k, ROFL

Oh, and you just watch. It's going to be be their standard LR S/X battery which is roughly 102kwh I think, according to wk057. So range will be whatever that battery can propel a brick with a .3+ drag coefficient. I'm making popcorn right now.

Troy Teslike says it’ll be ~350 miles with current gen2 4680 batteries

Certainly where I expected the initial trucks to be coming in around. ??

Man at this point I just feel bad for Cybertruck buyers. A bad deal for a bad design in a bad market. Kinda hard to do any worse, lol.

Oh the drama!!!!

Correction: ~350 Elon miles, ~270 regular miles.

I'd rather get 270 miles with a good charging curve and a reliable charging network. Who knows when in 2024 we'll get access to super chargers.

Only a couple more months until "reliable charging network" can't be used to sell Teslas. Arguably, buying a CCS vehicle over the next 24 months will be the best buy; you'll get an adapter, and like 50% more charging options than Teslas.

That $99,000 "starting price" is the price for the top motor/trim level. The top motor/trim for the R1T "starts at" $94,000. Paying 6% more to get a vehicle from an established brand with way better software and charging infrastructure that doesn't suck is pretty dang reasonable.

If the specs end up similar to Rivan's Dual Motor Performance Max pack and I didn't mind the appearance, there is no chance the price difference would push me toward Rivian.

I personally don't like the way the cybertruck looks, but the reservation count seems to imply that I may be in the minority on that.

Does the plaid use 4680 batteries?

Quad motor R1T starts at $87K. Even if you added all terrain package, you’re getting nowhere near $98900

The quad motor, middle battery isn't the top trim.

Dual, performance with max battery starts at $94,000.

Fully loaded the R1T is well over 100,000.

I'm telling you, the novelty crowd was only an asset when the price was below 50k. Without that, you are stuck with a very small percentage willing to put up with 1. The ridiculous price. and 2. The ridiculous looks.

We’re comparing the specs, not trim level.

Quad v tri motor
Large pack v whatever CT might have
Silver exterior v stainless steel color
Black v black interior
All terrain package v whatever Tesla has
