Thank you for an excellent well researched article.
I'm no hunter or much of a gun slinger so I ask this question more out of ignorance and real curiosity. Surely, even if a high velocity bullet pernitrates a Cybertruck's skin it will have lost a considerable amount of its energy and suppose it...
I ordered on about 7th January 2020 - trimotor with FSD, USA order.
It seems with order # RN113210631 I am about 466,507 on the list!
However they said they are doing 3 motor first so that means all the single motor orders can be moved behind me. What about the orders placed in front of me from...

I placed 2 orders - A single motor and a tri motor due to indecision.
I will only be taking up one, which will be the tri motor.
I am about 460000 on the list so I bought a Model 3 to use in the meantime.
When my Cybertruck arrives I will pass the Model 3 onto "madam".
I plan to go to Texas...
My guess is that this gets GM into large scale production of EVs without having to market that EV as a direct competitor to their ice pick-ups and through their dealer network. They still need their ice vehicles to survive and to recoup their investment in ice. When the time is right they will...
