In its comparison with Rivian in the critical window just after the Cyber-truck reveal it manages to price the critical mid level Tesla Truck at 59K vice the actual 49K when comparing to Rivian
You see Tesla is offering a full size truck that beats the top level Rivian specs for 20,000 less. So many great things about the Tesla truck. For instance that exterior is about zero maintenance.
You get a full size truck with better features for 20K less than Rivian's mid-size truck. We need to know something about range under load but Tesla showed us video of the Cybertruck dragging a F150 up a hill backwards in a tug and out accelerating a current year Porsche 911. Great to see it didn't have stupid mirrors. Like the door handles and the led lighting and the interior space and the dash material.
Shape was shocking at first but it make sense now. Flood lights and top light bar and head lights all cool. Lines very well thought out. Adjustible ride height, power sockets and air compressor brilliant. overhead glass awesome. Amazing bed details and storage. The interior space is awesome. The adjustable ride height and tires and flat bottom and wheels show its off road ready as do its superior angles of attack and egress. This is great because it sends Rivian back to the drawing board and sets the bars so high for Ford and GM that they will have to kill ICE trucks. The tow capacities make sense because that is tire patch and weight of the vehicle to keep the load stabilized at speed. That isn't the accurate 300K lbs pulling capacity on a road (not rails- where you can pull a million pounds slowly with something like 15hp)
