    Yes…. That’s why people are lining up to see it. Cybertruck will be this century’s 64 Mustang

    It’s getting a limited release two years after the Rivian R1T release. The latter has a drag coefficient of 0.3 and a tow capacity of 11,000 pounds. The Cybertruck is rumored to start at 33% more than the R1T, and only the top of the line version can match the much smaller and cheaper R1T in towing capacity. It also has a high drag coefficient of 0.39 and a rumored battery capacity of 250-ish miles.

      None of those numbers are confirmed. Who said only the top trim gets that towing number?

      Also who said it’s a limited release? They’re starting the build it.

      Did the Model S refresh get a limit release? No, it started from 0 and ramped up.

    Or let it exist and see how it does.

    People acted like being the first to market would make the Hummer, Lightning, or R1T become the instant winner.

    There’s still plenty of room in the market because those are expensive and losing money.
