I can confirm that Tesla has officially started assigning VINs to people who initially ordered the $59,990 Cybertruck Dual-Motor AWD, which means first deliveries should start in the coming weeks!
• 325 mile range
• 7,500 lb towing capacity
• 0-60mph: 4.1s
• Bed with motorized tonneau cover
• Bed Outlets (2-120v, 1-240v)
• 325kW max charging speed
• Coil spring with adaptive damping
• Durable textile interior
• 18’’ Wheels with all-season tires
• 10" ground clearance
• Weight: 6,537 lbs
• Same 18.5" front center display as trims
Absolutely incredible value for all the people who ordered and locked in the $59,990 price.
Elon Musk: “When something is important enough, you do it in spite of fear”
When asked how he can be so fearless investing his entire net worth into Tesla and SpaceX when everyone told him it was a crazy idea, Elon responds:
“It’s not as though I have the absence of fear. I feel it quite strongly. But there are times when something is important enough - you believe in it enough - that you do it in spite of fear… It’s normal to feel fear. There’d have to be something mentally wrong if you didn’t feel fear.”
He finds fatalism helpful for dealing with fear:
“If you just accept the probabilities, that diminishes fear. When starting SpaceX, I thought the odds of success were less than 10%. And I just accepted that I would probably just lose everything. But if we could just move the ball forward - even if we died - maybe some other company could pick up the baton and keep moving it forward. So that would still do some good. Same with Tesla - I thought the odds of a car company succeeding were extremely low.”

This is probably the most incredible example yet of FSD saving a life, and the amazing software that Tesla has developed that enabled Jack to remotely help his Dad's Model Y navigate to the hospital on FSD.
@profstonge In 2009 my position was eliminated and outsourced to HP/Tata offshore...I lost everything. I'm glad to see changes being made however I don't hear anything being done about this type of outsourcing with H1B...why?
