Shocked!

You mean a car Elon is making is YEARS past it's initial delivery date and THOUSANDS more than projected!

How can anyone be shocked by this....?

Elon trying to soften the blow before they announce the real price.

But, but, but...
Daddy Elon promised it would be a $39k bulletproof mad max boat solar truck with 500 miles per charge!

will it still come with free wooden ramps to get up curbs?

You’ll have to pay for those still.

CyberRamps are an extra cost option.

Based on his comments regarding price and production volume, this is good news for Rivian as a company. I've got to imagine a lot of those reservation holders will end up with a Rivian or F150 Lightning if they are serious about a truck. Otherwise they could be waiting another 3-5 years for a CT and easily pay Rivian and F150 pricing (or more).

I was there for the event and his answers around the cybertruck were interesting to say the least. Sounds like he is a bit less confident and it is strange that they are being so quiet on pricing.

I think that tells you it will likely be $90k+ for the first trims. They aren't expecting to produce or sell much until the economy gets better next year.

At that point, Rivian will offer a 60-65k trim level. Should be interesting.

Tesla historically sells the top of the line models first, these are easily going to be Model X prices at a minimum.

And of course the Roadster's production has been pushed to 2024, which means it will be at least 4 years late. It's an impressive delay, considering the timeframe between announcement and delivery was originally supposed to be 3 years or less.

While he was telling us things we already knew did he mention seaworthiness or snow plow capabilities?

Top 5 In 2022:
Ford sold 653,957 F-series
Chevy sold 523,249 Silverado line
Ram sold 468,344 units
GMC sold 241,522 units
Toyota sold 237,323 Tacomas

So if Tesla sold ~250K units/yr I'd say that's pretty amazing, given what they are competing against. I realize many traditional truck buyers are not buying it. The same can be said about many of R1T owners too at this point.

I wonder what the new price of those will be, back then they were 250k for the founders addition and 200k for the standard. Also required a 50k deposit
