Although not everything went as planned at the launch, it didn't seem to hurt Cybertruck's sales. Elon Musk boasted that orders didn't stop coming
So far, 146,000 orders, 42% have chosen a two-engine version, 41% with three and 17% with one, Elon Musk wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
That's a huge number considering that Tesla's new pickup was unveiled on Thursday, and not everything went as planned at the launch. Specifically, when they demonstrated the durability of the blinded windows, Tesla's chief designer threw a metal ball into the window, which easily cracked. Immediately, they also threw another ball at another window so that it would not turn out that only one window was defective, but the result was the same.
Musk then cursed softly and addressed the audience.
- Hmmm, there is room for progress. We will improve the glass, ”he said.
Three versions of Tesla's pickup truck are available, and the most expensive version is the one with three engines and four-wheel drive.
It's a fast-paced beast that can rival even the strongest sports car on the track - it accelerates up to 60 mph in less than 2.9 seconds, and its owners should have no problem traveling longer with a battery range of more than 800 kilometers. The base model is priced at $ 39,900, the twin-engine model will cost $ 49,900, while it will cost $ 69,900 for the most expensive Cybertruck.
This is Tesla's sixth car since the company was founded in 2003, which is also the largest experiment. The market will rival the Ford F Series, which has been the best-selling pickup in the United States for more than 40 years.
