In a captivating original post, WatchProSite member cazalea shares an exclusive invitation to configure the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series. This initial glimpse into the ordering process and features sets the stage for a community discussion exploring the vehicle's unique attributes, evolving pricing, and real-world implications. cazalea's journey through the configuration process offers a valuable firsthand account for enthusiasts and prospective owners alike.

The Configuration Invitation

Next step,

“Cybertruck Foundation Series will be fully optioned including laser-etched badging, premium accessories, charging equipment with Powershare home backup hardware, all-terrain tires, Full-Self Driving capability and more.”

Pricing schedule unknown at this time 🤔

Key Points from the Discussion

The initial pricing for the two-motor AWD Cybertruck was rumored to be around $50,000, but the Foundation Series is now estimated at $79,990 to qualify for tax credits, with some reports indicating a final price of $135,000 including tax and license.
A significant price increase from the original $50,000 to $80,000 for the two-motor AWD configuration has caused some pre-order holders to reconsider their purchase, despite the appeal of features like dent-resistant stainless steel doors.
While advertised as 'bulletproof,' some internal tests suggest the Cybertruck's panels are more 'bullet resistant,' with certain calibers, like 7.65mm, reportedly penetrating them. The windows' bullet resistance also remains a point of skepticism following a past on-stage demonstration.
The Cybertruck is lauded for its impressive capabilities, including its ability to outrun a Porsche 911 while towing another 911, and its advertised 30-minute submersion capability, positioning it as a pioneering vehicle in the automotive industry.
Driving the Cybertruck is likened to wearing a 'Rainbow Daytona,' suggesting it will attract significant attention and stand out prominently on the streets.
Prospective owners, including cazalea, plan to assess the Cybertruck's substantial size in person to determine its manageability for daily use before finalizing their purchase.

I’m not an electric car guy but that truck is truly impressive. Can’t lie I’ve been tempted to get on the list for the cyber beast. The fact it’s bullet proof and can be submerged for 30 minutes and can outrun a 911 while towing a 911. My hat goes off to Elon for truly being a pioneer.

Also, it’s advertised as “bullet proof”let’s call it more like “bullet resistant”, I’ve seen some internal tests and a cal 7,65mm went true like it was butter, so don’t count on that! Nevertheless congratulations, hope you get it soon!🥂

I’m only one of a few million Cyber-wannabes. I’ve got to go see one in person and decide if the enormous size is manageable for me and Mrs Cazalea. Plus offload a few other vehicles 🙂
