Well, he said it was going to be different.

The #Cybertruck, Tesla’s all-new electric pickup truck, is here, and it can take a sledgehammer to the door while nary a dent. The all-electric pickup will offer up to 500 miles of range and start at $39,000. https://t.co/7a8YBicIkC

Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive.

And it looks like a pickup....

I'm no ford fan but this is much more appealing than the cybertruck.

That being said the cyber truck isn't necessarily dead. There are some SERIOUS Fanbois around. Just see this thread.

I recently bought a decent amount of F stock in anticipation of this.

I know, but it doesn't matter. The only real chance Tesla had at stealing the Epickup market was to start selling them before the big boys got involved. Instead, Ford has stolen the march on Tesla, and the Ford is simply a F-150 with a giant battery in it. And everyone knows that Ford knows how to build a pickup; it's a proven design and technology. It's not shocking that Tesla just announced that they are postponing production of their pickup until 2023.

And by then Chevy's Silverado EV will be on the market. Ram can't be far behind, not to mention Toyota's Tacoma/Tundra.

The game is over. Tesla might sell a few to the diehard fanbois, but any dreams they had to capturing a significant portion of America's pickup community died when Ford introduced the Lightning. They probably would be better off if they just scrapped the cybertruck no before it costs them more.

find it kind of funny Ford being this ambitious with new tech when they can barely build cars right now due to the chip shortage. I know it's not their fault but man, the shortage couldn't have happened at a worse time for them.

Sounds pretty neat. Especially the app that can pre plan where you will need to recharge based on its calculations of your trip.

**DaFace** · 09-03-2021, 10:43 PM

Cyber truck is delayed again anyway. The F150 is definitely going to set the bar.

IowaHawkeyeChief · 09-04-2021, 06:50 AM

230 or 300 mile range in ideal conditions is quite restricting, if you are towing anything it is probably quite a bit less. Good for the suburban truck guy, not much else.

I dont know if there is a big market for the Cybertruck. I actually kind of like it. Its different and in your face. The F150 electric just looks like another truck and I definitely dont want that. But I acknowledge Im a niche type of customer.

Eleazar · 09-04-2021, 09:04 AM

To me the cyber truck says that they’re setting out to make something different, not just an electric version of an F-150 which most people are going to look at and say, why don’t I just stick with the regular F-150 that I know is great and reliable in any situation.

I hope they catch on, but I think they might have a higher hill to climb with truck buyers, similar to how a lot of people scoff at the electric mustang.

saphojunkie · 09-04-2021, 09:12 AM

I’d buy an electric 150 in a heartbeat. My next car is going to be 100% electric and the F150 would be a badass way of having both a truck and an electric car.

IMO, Tesla really screwed up by making the damn thing so weird and ugly. If they had tried to make it more like a truck then maybe it would have had more of a chance.

Yeah, that's one Area where the Tesla would supposedly blow this Away. 500 miles is the claim for the cyber truck

MTG#10 · 09-04-2021, 10:10 AM

My only issue with the Ford is what they chose to name it.

THIS is an F-150 Lightning and I'd love to find one.
