I wouldn't be so quick with that one. They are having some safety and reliability issues. I personally have only seen 3 Tesla vehicles, each one with some sort of issue. The owner still claimed to like the car though. Seems more like self-deception on the owners part in my opinion.

Look at the front seat headroom, vaulted ceilings

Quite the captains chair front seats. Does it have a glass roof? Looks like it.

He should be making E-Quads specifically for that truck, if he dosent that's definitely an opertunity missed.

I'm excited to see one in person.

Reuters: Gamblers back Tesla in Ford tug of war as orders reach 250,000

Quote:
Orders for Tesla Inc’s electric pickup Cybertruck are inching closer to the record set by the company’s Model 3 sedans in 2016, with company head Elon Musk signaling 250,000 customers have now lined up to buy the new vehicle less than a week after its launch.

...

At the Cybertruck launch last week, Musk showed a video of the Tesla vehicle winning a tug of war and dragging a Ford truck uphill. He said he would happily hold another contest next week.

One online bookmaker on Wednesday had the Tesla as favorite to win a contest at odds of 5 to 2 on.

S'pose they'll build a black Tesla dually for Alberta? Wait & see how all this stuff he is building works out, and if or when it actually gets built and operating for a few years. I'd like to see one operating around the area of the Great Lakes snow belt and into N. Dakota for a while before I considered one even. More wheel torque can also get you a whole lot more stuck, a whole lot faster, or spin you real quick on ice.

Won’t fit in many smaller garages:

Bigger SUVs, pickups outgrow garages, parking: the Cybertruck effect - USAToday
Quote:

“ Jim Griffin is Exhibit A. The Pennsylvania resident recently placed a $100 refundable deposit to secure his place in line for the Cybertruck. But he’s not sure he’ll follow through with the purchase after reading chatter online about the vehicle’s immense size.

“They’re like, ‘This thing is massive and it won’t fit in your garage,’” he said. “That’s when I said, ‘Hold on a second here, timeout. This thing may not fit.'”

And fitting the pickup into his garage is a dealbreaker.

“Nowadays, there's people buying Dodge Rams, Ford pickups that don’t fit, and they’ll park them outside,” he said. “The difference here is this is an electric vehicle and … you need to plug it in. I’m not gonna spend $50,000 $60,000, $70,000, $80,000 on a vehicle and then have to run an extension cord outside the garage or an outside outlet.”

I’d rather put one of these in my garage anyways:
