To give a bit more perspective on why people are willing to plunk down for a deposit on this thing (apparently it's north of 200k deposits already).
Our 2017 X90D:
Seats 6
Range 257 miles
Charging 140kW
Towing 5,000 lbs
Cost $118k
Cybertruck Dual Motor:
Seats 6
Range 300+ miles
Charging 250+ kW
Towing 10,000 lbs
Cost $50k
The Cybertruck is a ridiculously good value. It may not be as practical for every use case of a pick-up, but it's a lot more utility than any other BEV on the market. If you look at Rivian, the only model they're going to sell that gets anywhere near the specs of the Cybertruck is supposedly $90k...and it only as a 4.6ft bed, 11,000lbs towing, and 400 miles of range. The tri-motor Cybertruck nets 500+ miles of range, and 14,000 lbs towing...for only $70k.
The Cybertruck is an insanely good value, and that's why people are able to overlook the radical styling. As for me, I was completely aghast when the thing rolled up on stage, but after seeing the videos and pictures that have come out over the last day or so I'm really starting to dig the design. YMMV
