Well, I'm in that camp.

I've come to believe in the past 3 years that Tesla become a kind of investor fraud - promising impossible things and not delivering them, but getting the benefit of doubt since they did achieve incredible things in the early years.

I don't doubt that Cybertruck will see the streets - the same way Tesla Semi. Which one year after the official deliveries, is still an absolute mystery - no information whatsoever about it's real range, weight nor price. Kind of strange to me for a product that was supposedly released 11 months ago !

I've just checked the Cybertruck order page on https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck - still no price, still advertising that it's built with 'a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton' - which I believe the Release Candidates seen on the streets are not...



I'm not sure what you mean "no information whatsoever about it's real world range, weight nor price"

The Semi specs list "Fully Loaded at 82k lbs Gross Combination Weight" for their stats, maybe you're looking for something else?

Apparently price was/is listed somewhere, or maybe you have to deal with Tesla directly, because they are currently focused on fleets, and don't have to still set-up the increased charging infrastructure (?) https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/tesla-semi-prices-rele...


I've seen the links you listed - the range in this tests is given without the cargo weight - it's totally meaningless for a truck. For all we know, the truck could be almost empty, or almost fully loaded with extra batteries. We just don't know.

Don't you think that it should be easy to find the 'price was listed somewhere' ? We are talking about a product that was supposedly released 1 year ago. Where are independent reviews of it ? There are none.


That's odd. Previously Pepsico reported they were only getting decent range when hauling potato chips, i.e. air, and were limited to 100-odd miles delivering beverages (obviously going empty about half the way too).
