And likely will surpass the 1,000,000 mark for pre-orders by the fall. Initial production will happen in California, but a new factory is needed to meet demand - and is likely to be built in either Tulsa or Austin. First deliveries for two wheel drive models are in late 2021. Four wheel drive models should follow shortly in 2022.

Who is buying the head-turning new Cybertruck?




Or are you waiting for one of the other new electric trucks:



Rivian R1T (US - 2021)





Hummer EV (US - 2021)





Kaiyun Pickman (China - 2022)





Lordstown Endurance (US - 2022)

I did some research on the Rivian. I like it.

69k isn’t terrible considering some of the new F150s are getting into the high 50s.

Its a $100 deposit. Elon fan boys will send $100 just to pump the numbers.

Rivian R1T actually looks nice.

That Tesla truck is so ugly to me. It looks like a door stop with wheels.

It’s a little weird looking but it’d be fun to drive

When it the balance due? Surely they aren't making 700K of this truck without some firm commitments?

By the way that Tesla truck is ugly as sin. No thanks.

I know it doesn't need a grill, but I feel like it needs something.

The Rivian is the best looking IMO - although we haven't seen the entire Hummer. It already looks better than the Tesla. The Hummer EV unveiling was delayed because of the Covid-19 outbreak. I think a virtual unveiling will happen soon, and I'm looking forward to it.

The Rivian and Hummer are similar - both are four wheel drive only, both offer off road hardware, both have massive battery packs, and both can be had in a pickup and SUV form. I also suspect that they'll cost about twice what the Cybertruck will cost.

Id be happy to buy an electric truck as long as it doesn't look like absolute shite.

The Kaiyun looks like Pixar designed a Dihatsu.

My biggest concern with an electric truck has always been charging the battery. I mean if I tow my boat from Covington down to Venice or Cocodrie where the hell am I going to charge the battery while fishing?

I'm sure they'll have a direct copy of the Cybertruck, Hummer, and Rivian in about a months time. All based on the Kaiyun Pickman of course.

I'll probably end up getting a Rivian a couple years after it releases so they can work any bugs out.

0-60 in 3 seconds and I can haul our kayaks too? Sign me up.

Not to mention the bad-arse tank turn feature that I'll probably never use.
