I’VE OWNED 4 TESLAS, BUT THE CYBERTRUCK HAS ME CONFUSED

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses significant confusion and disappointment regarding the Tesla Cybertruck, particularly concerning its pricing and range compared to initial promises. While acknowledging the innovative exoskeleton design, advanced features like four-wheel steering and bidirectional charging, and impressive factory production, the high cost (starting at $61,000 for the single motor, $80,000 for dual motor, and $100,000 for the tri-motor 'Cyberbeast') and reduced range (340 miles for dual motor, 320 for tri-motor) are major drawbacks. The reviewer notes that the dual-motor variant's specs are comparable to the Rivian R1T but at a higher price point. The optional range extender, adding significant cost and reducing bed space, is also seen as a compromise. Despite the disappointment, the reviewer believes Tesla will sell all produced units due to limited production and high demand, with costs expected to decrease over time. The polarizing design is seen as a potential 'iPhone moment' for Tesla, but its mainstream appeal remains uncertain.
