That's in 3 days. How many Mach E mustangs has ford sold?
They haven't sold anything, a $100 fully refundable deposit isn't a sale. If this deposit wasn't refundable I bet 80+% of these "orders" wouldn't exist.
Personally I think Elon is trolling everyone with this truck hence why he's only asked for a $100 deposit. He'll probably show the "real" truck at some point.
Also, great time for his buddies to buy Tesla stock on the dip.

I read it somewhere that one of the major mags said Ford got 14k pre-order in til that day, so over a week after the announcement.
Seriously though, truckers are hard to please. There have been an eternal fight between Ford/GMC/RAM supporters. No matter what Tesla introduced, they were not going to be pleased.
That's why I think it was very smart of Tesla to make decisions to go after people who need a PU truck rather than people who drive a PU truck.
Ford wants a $500 refundable deposit. I bet if they made it $100 they would have more pre orders.
Tesla wanted $1000 for the model 3. They are doing a good job marketing the cybertruck.
Even at $100 I don't think they would get that many more orders. To put down a deposit you have to set up an appointment with a dealer and that's kind of a pain. What takes less than 5 minutes with Tesla it takes an hour plus with Ford. Also with Tesla you don't get phone calls and texts if you decide not to put down a deposit.

Yeah... the no-dealership approach is going to ultimately win people over the same way e-commerce did to B&M retails. Once you get used to it, there's no going back.
No need to haggle or anything... just transparent and simple. That's all it needs to be. With traditional car dealership, depending on how good of a negotiator one is, the price of the very same car varies (assuming everything else stay equal). There's no need for that. Only reason that exists is to maximize dealer's profit, so dealer can get the most out of a person's willingness to pay for a particular vehicle.
definitely one of the pro's of tesla...cutting out the middle man
anyone ever repair a delorean body? damage to panels likely mean a write-off?
I don’t think there is enough information on the design of the truck to claim how their “exoskeleton” design works. But 80% of the cars on the road are unibody.
I think the point your getting at is the stainless panels. With today’s body shop techniques, your probably right. Cutting out and welding in new stainless isn’t an issue. Finding some skilled panel beaters that can do the whole job without any fillers will be another scenario. It’s doable with the right skilled hands, but time consuming and honestly, not many people out there have those skills anymore. More than likely all the panels are replaceable just like every other car on the road. Exoskeleton was just a fancy way to say unibody and try and put down the body on frame trucks.
the one and only electric truck i'd advocate for is the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series electric conversion performed by Tembo (although i think there's another company out there that also converts the Land Cruiser).
It's a shame the Land Cruiser isn't certified for on-road use in Canada (mines and off-road use only). But should be able to be registered after 15 years...
Although the specs aren't as high as a consumer would maybe expect, keep in mind that its mainly made for mine use, so range isn't really an issue for those purposes.

Imo the perfect all around work, play, tow truck would be the CC 4x4 Dyna. Configure the bed however you want (flatdeck, tilt, box w/folding sides, cube), lightweight, small footprint. Function > form.

But can you get them in LHD? I searched for a while for an older diesel offering of this style truck. They only seem to use them in the wrong parts of the world... except maybe Korea
