Breitbart-
Tesla shares rose Monday in early trading after CEO Elon Musk claimed over the weekend that the company has seen 200,000 preorders for the Cybertruck following a disastrous public demonstration in which the vehicle’s windows shattered before a live audience. But unlike previous Tesla preorders, the Cybertruck preorder only requires a refundable $100 deposit, leading to questions about how valid the preorder numbers actually are.
Musk tweeted Sunday that Cybertruck has seen 200,000 preorders so far, with 146,000 of those orders coming on Friday or Saturday. But the figure could be deceptive since Tesla is requiring only a $100 refundable deposit for the new electric vehicle, a figure that is substantially less than the deposits required for other Tesla models. read more
A warning, I won’t yank one Pretty Boy out of trouble with my Duramax. Fxckem
I’ll stick with the 2500 gashog……

If I wanted an overpriced piece of scrap metal in my driveway, I’d buy a Jaguar. At least they’re somewhat attractive.
It’s not a truck, it’s not a ‘pickup’, as I hear on the radio back media.
It ‘picks up’ nothing.
Diogenes!
Jackwire! Ach!
I dealt with Brian’s 1988 Jag for 12 years. Aww, fudge.
“Scrap this mothertrucker!”
“Ehh, it’s a good car.”
“It’s a fucking piece of shit.”
And Brian, and I, replaced every worthless piece of shit on the car. I spent weeks re-soldering shit and replacing diodes, resistors, and summarily deleting shit. He spent weeks on window regulators, shock systems, and brake boosters.
Fuck. It was years in the making. What a piece of shit.
I was just talking to my Dad tonight about how I’m not partial to any car and don’t particularly revile any marque.
I have to amend that. The Jackwire is a fucking scathing piece of shit.
Ford packaged Jaguar and Land Rover and sold the to a group, Tata Motors. Am I buying a car from Tata motors? Oh hell no.
It’s just a Delorean pick up truck without a Flux Capasitor…big whoop.
I have a hard time believing anything Musk says. 200K? I doubt it.
Don’t knock it yet. The thing performs like a monster.
Don’t hold your breath until you see one actually for sale on a Tesla lot.
a lying democrat, but I repeat myself!
I’m a bit surprised they introduced the truck in November. April 1st seems like a better date to announce it…
He gets wealthy by non refundable deposits?
If you buy one of those you may as well buy a pair of leather pants with the ass cut out.
Maybe he should call it a Model P so we can pee on it and see if it rusts away or catches on fire from spontaneous combustion due to its faulty battery packs.
Haha! $70k+ for the 500 mile extended range version. Sounds great, until I hook my 6000lb+ snowmobile trailer to it and try to drive to the UP when it’s 5°F outside.
It’s bad enough I have to stop for 10 minutes near Tomahawk to fill up. I couldn’t even imagine stopping to charge, for hours, 2 maybe 3 times.
Are these things gonna catch on fire too?
YEP!
The car/truck you drive when you have more money than brains.
Just cleaning the inside of the windshield will be a job.
Instant Edsel.
Even less of a truck than a Ranchero or EC.
(To repeat what the Nigerian uncle on “Bob Loves Abishola” said last night, with his deep voice and African accent):
“He is a big bag of douche.”
When these rolling coffins catch fire, you won’t be able to break the windows to escape. Forget EMT rescue; the Jaws of Life won’t be worth a damn on those armored doors.
They’ll dig a hole and bury you in the car.
