Having watched today’s cybertruck event, I have the following comments:The Beast model will set you back $100K. But if you were thinking about a Porche . . .
- Elon insisted that the vehicle is a practical, useful truck. He showed it out-pulling a serious standard pickup.
- OTOH he showed video of the “Beast” version of the vehicle out-accelerating a Porche. He even asserted that it could out-accellerate a Porche while towing another Porche. And as he discussed the vehicle, Musk very easily fell into referring to it as a “car.” I forget the exact zero-to-sixty time he gave, but I think it was below 2.5 seconds! I want to say 2.3 seconds.
A commentator asserted that a businessman who bought one for business purposes could deduct the whole price in the year he bought it. How many businessmen could actually turn down a deal like that! Musk himself is on record, months ago, that a cybertruck would be his own personal drive - wonder why? 😊
Way wrong - I guess it was 2.6 sec.Slow.
