Sure the tech is nice, but I cannot get over the design over this vehicle, it is downright ugly. I see so many of them in my area now and they are just hideous. Tesla is a bunch of computer nerds attempting to build a vehicle, I much prefer Rivian's approach which was car people adding tech to a vehicle.

It's the RL Homermobile...

frame shears after pulling an ICE F-150  @ 5:55 in the video.  Just wild how this bleeding edge "truck" just broke... ha.  Gigacasting...

 

 


That's one strong chain!  The Gigacast™ frame broke before the chain!

Maybe Tesla should make the Cybertruck frame out of the same material as the chain!  

To be fair though... the Cybertruck was likely weakened before they tried to tow the other truck.  At 5:23 the rear-end of the Cybertruck fell 3 feet and slammed into a concrete slab.  That probably did some damage to the frame/hitch.  And it didn't help that the F150 got stuck which added extra strain when pulling.  The forces must have been incredible pulling a stuck object like that.

But yeah... steel ladder-frame 1... aluminum Gigacast™ 0

🤣

A man has died in the first fatal accident involving a Tesla Cybertruck.

The EV apparently lost control, crashed into a concrete culvert and burst into flames.

Emergency services declared the driver dead at the scene and are investigating the cause of the crash.

I seek to a random location in the video (around the middle) and here's a quote from their guy doing the review:

"I think it's one of those, you know, I live in Vermont and I'm gay and I'm getting married in a barn type places"

Randomly clicking though the rest of it and it seems like they're not even talking about the truck.

On the plus side, Tucker's off-putting bow-tie is missing and I didn't hear any of his even more off-putting cackling.

So that's my review of the review. It's s**t.

Tesla Cuts $61,000 Base Cybertruck, Raises Prices On All Others And Says You Can Have One Right Now

//

Just four days ago, on August 5, you could place an order for any of three Cyebrtruck trims: The $60,990 Rear-Wheel Drive, the $79,990 All-Wheel Drive, and the $99,990 Cyberbeast, according to an archived version of Tesla’s site. Now, though, all those numbers have changed. The Cyberbeast is now $119,990 [sic], the All-Wheel-Drive costs $99,990[sic], and the Rear-Wheel Drive has quietly disappeared. Prospective buyers eyeing a base-model Cybertruck will now have to shell out an additional $39,000 just to get their foot in the door.

The change was first noticed over on Reddit, but it can be confirmed by scanning through saved versions of Tesla’s page. Interestingly, the pricing and trim level availability aren’t the only changes made to the Cybertruck lineup — Tesla now claims that buyers of All-Wheel Drive and Cyberbeast trims can get their trucks this year, rather than the prior estimate of 2025.

Jalopnik

Either Jalopnik got the price wrong or Tesla updated the MSRP after the article...but take $5k off the article above...so...adjusting the OP in this thread ...

Availability: 2021, 2022 (2024, 2025)

1 motor 2WD:  $39,900   ($60,990)
(250+mile range, est 7,500 lb tow) - "Available in 2025" 

2 motor AWD: $49,900  ($93,990)
(300+ mile range, 10,000 lb tow) - 340mi range, 11,000 lbs tow

3 motor AWD: $69,900  ($113,990)
(500+ mile range, 14,000 lb tow)  - 320 mile range, 11,000 lbs tow

yo...that price.  Probably blame it on covid or something. 

Wouldn't get a F-150 Lightning either....but hell the XLT is almost $34k less than the 2-motor AWD.  No brainer.

 

...Canada, you're also getting this ugly POS.  haha

Today, Tesla started sending invites to Canadian Cybertruck reservation holders to convert their reservations into orders.

The automaker has revealed pricing for the two versions currently available:

• Cybertruck AWD Foundation Series: $137,990 CAD
• Cyberbeast Foundation Series: $165,990 CAD

Despite the disadvantageous exchange rate, some automakers will adjust pricing to make it more attractive for Canadian buyers, but not Tesla. These are basically the same prices in the US converted to Canadian dollars.

I just saw one in real life. I was going to a client's house at around 8 pm and as I was driving around The neighborhood trying to find their house I looked to the left and there was a Cybertruck parked in front of somebody's driveway. I was like .. OMG a Cybertruck. Had never seen one in person. So cool looking. There is another one 45 mins away to the east and another one 25 mins away to the south.

So 3 Cybertrucks around, that I know of.

That is surprising for a couple of reasons. 1st its a PR disaster. Even tesla doesn't want their cybertrucks back. 2nd they could probably sell them at a lower price and say sales of the truck are up. 3rd. Use some for replacement parts so people don't have to wait for months to get repairs. 4th Sell them outside the US. I bet there would be a couple of markets they would sell in (of course they would have to find some way to do maintenance on them.

This guy absolutely beat the 💩out of the F-150's trailer hitch ... even bent the frame. 

....but the trailer hitch never let go and the frame didn't snap.

 

...he's still annoying IMO.  Dropping of the F-150 onto concrete blocks starts ~5 mins in the video.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
