> available today

None of the CTs are available today, they're all at some unspecified point in 2024.

The cheapest CT is ostensibly available in 2025, but estimates from this company that far out are hilariously worthless.

A better estimate might be the cheapest Model 3, which the CEO promised to deliver in July, 2017, but actually delivered beginning February, 2019.

> same 250 mile range but AWD standard

That "(EST.)" next to the range is doing a lot of work!

Range estimates should be informed by the company's sordid history of inflating range-meter projections, creating a "Diversion Team" to cancel service appointments related to range issues, regulatory scrutiny and fines for misleading advertising about vehicle range, Edmunds finding that Tesla models often fail to meet their advertised ranges, etc.

You misread my comment. My statement about availability today and range of 250 miles refer to the F150, not the Cybertruck.

Plus how is it going to feel to own this when battery tech improves and the range extender feels ever more obsolete?

It’s a slower version of how computers felt back in the 90s to early 2000s. Ie as soon as bought it was quickly obsolete.
