I think what is failed to mention in this video is the fact that big 3 have changed their pickups to be more "luxury" and have essentially priced out their core customers. I think Tesla and the Big 3 are going after the same buyers the suburbanites. The people who pay for 100k for a truck don't care about the bed length for work.
@@aberba Just because luxury trucks with upscale interiors exist doesn't mean that Tesla is targeting the same buyer. Ask anyone who owns a truck currently and none will say they are excited for the Cybertruck. Ask anyone who *doesn't* currently own a truck and is currently likely driving an electric vehicle or a luxury vehicle, they will be very intrigued by the Cybertruck. Completely different buyers.
Ford re-ignited the market for small budget pickups with the Maverick. Maverick has been a huge hit and I expect that we'll se an electric Maverick within 3 years.
How nice would it be for a Construction/Work/Tradesman/Etc to have a "fuel" bill of $30/month for electricity? That's how much I pay a month for 1300 miles of leadfoot driving in my Model 3 Performance.
My home builder/contractor is looking forward to a Cybertruck (depending on price) for three very important reasons; 1. right now he's spending close to $400 a month in fuel. No cross-country hauling but just running around town to his clients and suppliers. 2. Security. My contractor has had a number of valuable tools and machines stolen from his truck. A locking and secure cover over the bed is invaluable. 3. ruggedness. With Cybertruck there is no need to worry about scratches, dings, rust, or even broken windshields (the "failed" armor glass is still better than traditional glass). Add the power outlets AND the air compressor outlet and it's a winning combination for a true work truck. Now if only Tesla would release the CT with the airless tires they have talked about in the past and then it would be a no-brainer (flat tires at a work site are a weekly occurrence).
I live on a farm…Do you know how much it costs to redo your homes entire electrical system just to accommodate the charging for an EV, if you live on a farm? I do….I’ll tell you, its not going to happen. Also, the nearest charging station is 45 minutes away. Living on a farm long distance driving is what I do if i have to leave, so why get an EV? The main ways vehicles pollute are short trips, city driving.

My friend was a designer for Ford, the position he took was the legend is taken as fact, maybe that's where the name entered the lexicon, but things fitting that description go back to before Ford arrived there (Aus). People built their own vehicle bodies to their skill or needs. It's like how all colas are "Coke" and if you want to change it you'd have to start by burning Atlanta to the ground.

@@johntheux9238 I seriously doubt they will sell that many. It's an ugly entry into a competitive category of vehicles that is really only popular in north america
In your eyes, normal person you'd be lucky to find 1 in 10 who don't think it looks like a 6 year old designed it..and as a practical pickup it's a bigger joke..
I hope that they keep the promised range of 500+ miles in some configurations. If they do they will destroy the competition. The Achilles heel of the Ford Lightning and Rivian is the inadequate range for towing and camping.
How about the Semi drive configuration rejigged for this application? 3 motors (4 not necessary) Front motor high geared for cruising. 2 rear motors lower geared for "beast mode", acceleration, starting a tow load. They don't need the same gearing, the motor speed feeds back from drive shaft rotation speed. Start with all 3, the rear two spin faster for torque with the front one "backing up" with 10% boost. At 42(?) Mph, the rears disengage, as with the Semi, and the front unit runs in "cruise mode". They know it works.
Vehicles that are provocative have notoriously short sales cycles - there is huge initial demand as they are the ‘new’ thing but it falls off with equal determination.

The big three, GM, Ford, Stellantis, have been milking the pickup truck cash cow for decades. They haven't been innovating. Cybertruck will seriously impact their business and profits. I see a major government bailout in the future for the big three to keep the UAW happy.
As European I really can't understand the hype of the cybertrunk. In a way I can. But for Europe it is not a big deal. Not every farmer or craftsman uses pick-up trucks here. Roads a much narrower and parking space is rarer. So cybertruck will not sell that much here. But good luck in the States, Canada, South America, Australia and parts of Asia. A price of 70.000 US$ might work at the beginning but looks overpriced in the long run.
All Ford did wanted to achieve with its F150 Lightning is for people to think an electric truck isn't going to work for your average Joe. The Cybertruck will debunk that.
Look at the sales numbers. Ram beats Chevy every other year for the last 6 years. They even came close 1 year to beating GM (Chevy & GMC together), which is getting close to Ford territory. There isn't much sold as Dodge now, but Ram is doing very well. Stellantis is also planning on more for Dodge in the near future. EVs for one, but basically, any European brand they think has a chance in the US, it will be badged Dodge or Chrysler and sold here with existing distribution systems instead of trying to create new ones for foreign brands. Supposedly that goes the other way, but the only US product under Stellantis selling well in Europe is Jeep and Jeep is the recognized brand, and Jeep dealerships are available to other Stellantis brand dealers now. Stellantis isn't Daimler. Daimler didn't give a rip about Chrysler. They merged to steal the bankroll Chrysler had built. Robert Eaton gave away 4 billion for his personal $345 million payout. Yes, I worked there at the time. Killing Plymouth was the worst and only idea Daimler gave Chrysler.
Came to say this as well, the windows are armor glass meaning more resistant to debris, the body is bullet resistant to 9 mm gunfire (at least on the one at the unveiling, and hopefully the production model since I can see some folks taking pot shots and hopefully nobody gets hurt, especially if it gets thinner skin)
I'm driving a Ford Ranger, and have a Cybertruck reserved. It looks like it does due to the material it's made of...thick hard stainless steel that can't be formed using a traditional stamping process. I love the idea of a durable non rusting body that can take a sledge hammer blow without a dent.
I love how everyone skips over Elon saying that CT wont be built tell they have a new factory to build the CT. Also, they seem to forget a little virus that stopped EVERYTHING in 2020. Takes a few years to build the factory and have the the finalized CT ready for mass production…
Journalists are so poor at covering Tesla. Cybertruck is revolutionary, the result of a seven year effort by Tesla that required massive amounts of battery cell innovation, structural battery pack innovation, the biggest gigapresses ever made, new aluminum alloy for the gigacastings, new steel alloy for the body panels, new glass for the windows, etc. It will have crazy fast recharging, great acceleration and hauling and insane durability. Long ago we learned it will seat five and not six, at least do a little research next time, and leaving out the 1.8 million reservations when talking about demand is...odd.
I never owned a truck in last 15 years, and I've been waiting for an electric truck with long range battery. Hopefully Cyber truck will stay within the price range ...
@@tedtodorov698why are people so adamant in trying to make Tesla seem like an affordable option? The first vehicle they sold was a Model S then Model X both $100k + after that they made the 3 and the Y… both well over 40k + on average…. The Cybertruck will only be useful in regards to its top two trims as they will have the range and options that satisfy people who are keeping up with the joneses as the trucks will cost $100k plus and a trim level down from the tri motor or quad motor will be priced at $70k starting and probably offer 300 miles of range irl. Btw Tesla screwed customers who bought Model S and X so bad with that Tax incentive scam they got sued. You can’t just swing prices ~ $20k out of the blue
Lamborghini of trucks. It will have a smaller battery(more efficient) vs the Competition to charge faster. To be radical it must to everything better than what is out there. Size of a F250 interior with 6.5 inch bed. No paint to scratch. Tesla superchargers everywhere. Charge at home especially with solar panels
not a fan of the sharp rear corners that will pose a safety hazard to pedestrians walking by one of these trucks in a parking lot. imagine that sharp corner gouging your upper arm. I see a major product recall. hope the tesla engineers are thinking of a fix
and... you never will since this tin scrap heap will never make it to full production. tick tock. 4 years and still nothing. elon can't get it right. it's pretty hilarious actually. fanboys will never learn.
To you at wsj; of course cybertruck will bes sucsess.. the toughest truck ever made… the best truck ever made.. wont rust, wont dent, cheap to operate, will be autonomous, quite cheap to buy.. no service needed, unpresedented life span, insane power, the best software…. How is it possible not to do insanely good??
It’s an extremely intriguing thing to look at, and I’m glad it exists. But honestly, what an embarrassing thing to actually own and drive on a daily basis. It’s basically this generation’s Hummer H2.
Here's how you understand the Cybertruck - it's for douchey Silcon Valley types who just want to have a status symbol and another reason to be smug, while actually doing nothing for the planet. It's that simple.
This is an example of function over form, whereas the big three keep going with form over function. That's why Tesla will put them out of business until the federal government comes to their rescue with a bailout.
At the end of the video, the guy suggests that the CT will help sell Model Y's, 3's and 2's. These guys better wake up. The CT has 2 million reservations. The CT is going to help sell Cybertrucks. Tesla is about to enter the most profitable segment in the auto industry and God help them after that.
I think many people will buy this, who don't actually need a large car for work, which will cause more emissions. Tesla should also focus on smaller electric vehicles and public transport, if they want to drive the green transition.
Tesla reinvented the truck. The IDRA die cast machines to make the Cyber Truck had to be invented. Material science engineers had to find a compatible material.
If the cyber truck makes it to Australia, it will be popular with ABN holders. The price won't _really_ matter, as they'll be able to write it off on taxes. It will be sufficient for some tradies, but more than likely, their wives &/or children will drive them.
With supply chain issues with both batteries and chips car manufacturers catching up. Luckily Tesla offers more a diverse battery portfolio, 18650, 2170, 4680, and prismatic LFP batteries. This diversity allows battery choices for all its vehicles. Most the competition, one limited choice. Tesla seems to be offering more LFP batteries(lithium IRON) vs lithium ION. IRON batteries are cheaper, no cobalt/nickel, no thermal runaway, love 0-100% charge, longer life vs ION, etc. competition rethinking their battery. There maybe a 4680 tabless LFP version. 4680 battery is dry cell which is cheaper to make.
Common mistake. Lithium IRON cells ARE Lithium ION cells. "Lithium ION" is the category. "Lithium IRON" is one chemistry within that category. . They all use the transfer of Lithium IONS between Anode and Cathode to charge and discharge. 😉👍
A few points you should know about LFP batteries: * LFP and NCM/A are types of lithium ion batteries (LIB) * LFPs are low energy dense and heavy * No fewer than 45+ LFP fires in China last year -- counting only those reported in the media. In 2021, two firemen died putting out LFP battery fire at a shopping mall in Beijing, China. * All LIBs degrade faster when charged 100% -- yes, that includes Tesla's LFP EVs. * In Tesla, however, it is necessary to do so periodically (ie, weekly) to recalibrate BMS (so to avoid misreading SOC and cell imbalancing). * Cleanwatt reports, citing Tessie, Tesla's LFP EVs lose range twice as fast to 90% SOH. Recurrent's data show similar range loss/degradation in Tesla's LFP EVs. * LFPs are fine for stationary energy storage systems (aka, ESS) with low discharge rates; consequently low-stress and longer lifecycle * LFPs are not optimal in EVs with high c-rates and therefore they are mostly limited to entry-level, low-range EVs * LFPs won't be used in the CT, or Ford F-150. The F-150 in particular uses SK Innovation's ultra-nickel high-energy NCM9 bateries currently (also in Kia's EV9) * LFPs recycling is highly uneconomical -- eg, no high-value metals in cathodes. The cost of recycling LFP is net negative and it would have to be either subsidized by gov't or EV/battery OEMs (eg, the EU CRMA). see "Financial Viability of electric vehicle LIB recycling," Lander et all, iScience 24, July 23, 2021.
Going to be the BEST WORK TRUCK EVER. Tougher than the others and the value proposition of electric over gas is huge. Companies and contractors will save Thousands of $ annually on gas
Truck guy with many truck guy friends. I have yet to hear a single truck owner friend excited about Cybertruck. As stated in the video, I have no idea who this is being marketed to, and I am skeptical about Cybertruck's future. I feel like this is going to be a flop.
It's a techbro status symbol, it isnot really useful as an actual truck for people that need trucks for bluecollar things. You'll never see one of these hauling around lumber and gardening gear, those buyers cannot afford vanity gear when they have dirt, grease and oil covered fingers trying to use touch screens
Plus having air suspension so the rear can be dropped. Judging by the knuckleheads with lifted trucks in my neighborhood, you need a step ladder just to get up to the tailgate let alone access from the side.
Farmer's can charge at home; they have electrical outlets. A farmer's garage is even more likely (than most people's) to be wired for 50-amp 220v charging. They're farmers, not old-time pioneers.
Yeah but that would take hours. It’s far faster to have a conventional engine which can be refuelled in 5 mins and be back out than having the battery run out and having to end the working day then as it would take so long to recharge the battery
Cramer said it will fail. So it definitely will succeed.

Supposedly that goes the other way, but the only US product under Stellantis selling well in Europe is Jeep and Jeep is the recognized brand, and Jeep dealerships are available to other Stellantis brand dealers now.
Stellantis isn't Daimler. Daimler didn't give a rip about Chrysler. They merged to steal the bankroll Chrysler had built. Robert Eaton gave away 4 billion for his personal $345 million payout. Yes, I worked there at the time. Killing Plymouth was the worst and only idea Daimler gave Chrysler.
Tesla Cybertruck make the rest of pickup truck like a Windows '95 technology! I am a building contractor, I will be proud to own a cybertruck soon.
Reminds me of the car Homer Simpson designed.
Looks like a mars rover
Americans talk about how unnecessary this pick up is...still they buy the "new" iphone that comes up every year 🙄🤷🏻
Everybody will buy and love this truck. Ford, GM, and Stellantis are gonna go down hard and fast.
1:27, guys the "windows" were never said to be "bullet proof" someone didn't do their research.
Came to say this as well, the windows are armor glass meaning more resistant to debris, the body is bullet resistant to 9 mm gunfire (at least on the one at the unveiling, and hopefully the production model since I can see some folks taking pot shots and hopefully nobody gets hurt, especially if it gets thinner skin)

I'm driving a Ford Ranger, and have a Cybertruck reserved. It looks like it does due to the material it's made of...thick hard stainless steel that can't be formed using a traditional stamping process. I love the idea of a durable non rusting body that can take a sledge hammer blow without a dent.
I love how everyone skips over Elon saying that CT wont be built tell they have a new factory to build the CT. Also, they seem to forget a little virus that stopped EVERYTHING in 2020. Takes a few years to build the factory and have the the finalized CT ready for mass production…
It’s being built at the factory in Austin.
0:15 the best jock news channel
How can I drive this Xtruck in the US if its windows are not bulletproof?
No paint is the best paint
We will always support this channel. They're one of the best.
Journalists are so poor at covering Tesla. Cybertruck is revolutionary, the result of a seven year effort by Tesla that required massive amounts of battery cell innovation, structural battery pack innovation, the biggest gigapresses ever made, new aluminum alloy for the gigacastings, new steel alloy for the body panels, new glass for the windows, etc. It will have crazy fast recharging, great acceleration and hauling and insane durability. Long ago we learned it will seat five and not six, at least do a little research next time, and leaving out the 1.8 million reservations when talking about demand is...odd.
I went from hating on it to wanting it desperately. Good on you Elon!
Isn't that crazy how that works!!!;)
you got a few details wrong. but this will help my grandmother understand, so 👍🏻👍🏻
I never owned a truck in last 15 years, and I've been waiting for an electric truck with long range battery. Hopefully Cyber truck will stay within the price range ...
No way this car is gonna be below 80k.
@@bigbongojoe5734We shall see
Why would you look for a long range truck and go for a cybertruck? Do you need a truck? Sedans are fine.
@@bigbongojoe5734Actually it is almost certain they will be under $80K, as that is the $7,500 federal EV truck/SUV price limit
@@tedtodorov698why are people so adamant in trying to make Tesla seem like an affordable option? The first vehicle they sold was a Model S then Model X both $100k + after that they made the 3 and the Y… both well over 40k + on average…. The Cybertruck will only be useful in regards to its top two trims as they will have the range and options that satisfy people who are keeping up with the joneses as the trucks will cost $100k plus and a trim level down from the tri motor or quad motor will be priced at $70k starting and probably offer 300 miles of range irl. Btw Tesla screwed customers who bought Model S and X so bad with that Tax incentive scam they got sued. You can’t just swing prices ~ $20k out of the blue
I don't want a hipster vehicle. Please give me a bare bones traditional truck.
Just think of all the coal and natural gas derived electricity it will take to charge that beast. Shame on Tesla, shame on ALL BEVs.
reminds me of Viper Defender, which i like 100% more.
Can't wait to buy this!! I work in tech
Working in tech, I would expect you to be able to see through marginal improvement a TV on the dash brings
Lamborghini of trucks. It will have a smaller battery(more efficient) vs the
Competition to charge faster. To be radical it must to everything better than what is out there. Size of a F250 interior with 6.5 inch bed. No paint to scratch. Tesla superchargers everywhere. Charge at home especially with solar panels
Unless it has at least a 4' x 8' bed,....it's not a truck.
They never claimed the windows are bulletproof.
not a fan of the sharp rear corners that will pose a safety hazard to pedestrians walking by one of these trucks in a parking lot. imagine that sharp corner gouging your upper arm. I see a major product recall. hope the tesla engineers are thinking of a fix
Now we need a Winnebago version of the semi
GM, Ford and Stellantis are praying that the cybertruck is a bust. If it catches on, they are finished.
And next they are praying that the UAW won’t hose them too badly.
This will be my first pickup ever. Would neverbhy one otherwise.
and... you never will since this tin scrap heap will never make it to full production. tick tock. 4 years and still nothing. elon can't get it right. it's pretty hilarious actually. fanboys will never learn.
To you at wsj; of course cybertruck will bes sucsess.. the toughest truck ever made… the best truck ever made.. wont rust, wont dent, cheap to operate, will be autonomous, quite cheap to buy.. no service needed, unpresedented life span, insane power, the best software…. How is it possible not to do insanely good??
It’s an extremely intriguing thing to look at, and I’m glad it exists. But honestly, what an embarrassing thing to actually own and drive on a daily basis. It’s basically this generation’s Hummer H2.
That design will never be approved in Europe
I heard somewhere that the main problem is that the bumper seems to be designed to cut pedestrians in half.
I don't know what I would use it for, but I want one.
5.0L f150 will do circles around that pos
Of course it can! I’m number 1,462,587 in the queue!
How do you get the exact number? I'm in the 1.6 million range I think.
Interesting vehicle 🚙 ❤
I don't understand the cybertruck. It looks like a prototype rendered on a computer from the 90s
Nah, a 5-year-old kid doodled something and they decided to build it.
1:15 there is your answer
Here's how you understand the Cybertruck - it's for douchey Silcon Valley types who just want to have a status symbol and another reason to be smug, while actually doing nothing for the planet. It's that simple.
This is an example of function over form, whereas the big three keep going with form over function. That's why Tesla will put them out of business until the federal government comes to their rescue with a bailout.
@@luxPacificus What function? What benefit is it's shape over a conventional pickup truck or van?
At the end of the video, the guy suggests that the CT will help sell Model Y's, 3's and 2's. These guys better wake up. The CT has 2 million reservations. The CT is going to help sell Cybertrucks. Tesla is about to enter the most profitable segment in the auto industry and God help them after that.
It's so good looking in person.
Target market will be leisure users? What a shocking environmentally and climate-unfriendly product!
Love it.
We don't need bigger light trucks. We need smaller ones. As most vehicles are driven in cities, not out in the open country.
the days of Nissan hardbody, Toyota pickup, and Isuzu small truck will be dearly missed
Rivian will remain the coolest ev pick up truck.
I had to scroll way to far to find this
the Most Anticipated... according to who?
to people who anticipate
To Tesla fanboys
Statistics. Pre order numbers don't lie
I want one for autopilot and the ground clearance. If I need to tow I’m gonna use the 3/4 ton diesel.
I think many people will buy this, who don't actually need a large car for work, which will cause more emissions. Tesla should also focus on smaller electric vehicles and public transport, if they want to drive the green transition.
It's obvious Tesla is anything but interested in the environment. Just like its gas guzzler peers.
Once semi is profitable it will probably be the test bed for Busses and other vehicles like fire engines
trains>car
@@sa34wit’s not like electric busses are rare or a very new tech. They are very common in many countries.
The next AMC Pacer.
The Cybertruck bought by the same people who buy 4x4 and never go off-road. The thing looks very long
I cant wait to see the wraps people will put on it
It going to take Model Y sales.
when it comes to tesla, they forget pandemic, chip shortage, supply chain issues.
Tesla reinvented the truck. The IDRA die cast machines to make the Cyber Truck had to be invented. Material science engineers had to find a compatible material.
I’m sure the quality control will be too notch😂😂
If the cyber truck makes it to Australia, it will be popular with ABN holders. The price won't _really_ matter, as they'll be able to write it off on taxes. It will be sufficient for some tradies, but more than likely, their wives &/or children will drive them.
Righting it off taxes doesn't make it free, it means you don't pay taxes on the LOSSES like you do with most personal expenditures.
ABN is?
You're not an economist right?
With supply chain issues with both batteries and chips car manufacturers catching up. Luckily Tesla offers more a diverse battery portfolio, 18650, 2170, 4680, and prismatic LFP batteries. This diversity allows battery choices for all its vehicles. Most the competition, one limited choice. Tesla seems to be offering more LFP batteries(lithium IRON) vs lithium ION. IRON batteries are cheaper, no cobalt/nickel, no thermal runaway, love 0-100% charge, longer life vs ION, etc. competition rethinking their battery. There maybe a 4680 tabless LFP version. 4680 battery is dry cell which is cheaper to make.
Don't forget the new LMFP batteries (Lithium-Manganese-Iron-Phosphate)
Common mistake.
Lithium IRON cells ARE Lithium ION cells.
"Lithium ION" is the category.
"Lithium IRON" is one chemistry within that category.
.
They all use the transfer of Lithium IONS between Anode and Cathode to charge and discharge.
😉👍
TESLA reprograms 20+ kinds of own chips .
no one on EARTH does this.
@@markplott4820
That'll be ANOTHER unprovable "sweeping statement" from you.
.
You're not helping!!
A few points you should know about LFP batteries:
* LFP and NCM/A are types of lithium ion batteries (LIB)
* LFPs are low energy dense and heavy
* No fewer than 45+ LFP fires in China last year -- counting only those reported in the media. In 2021, two firemen died putting out LFP battery fire at a shopping mall in Beijing, China.
* All LIBs degrade faster when charged 100% -- yes, that includes Tesla's LFP EVs.
* In Tesla, however, it is necessary to do so periodically (ie, weekly) to recalibrate BMS (so to avoid misreading SOC and cell imbalancing).
* Cleanwatt reports, citing Tessie, Tesla's LFP EVs lose range twice as fast to 90% SOH. Recurrent's data show similar range loss/degradation in Tesla's LFP EVs.
* LFPs are fine for stationary energy storage systems (aka, ESS) with low discharge rates; consequently low-stress and longer lifecycle
* LFPs are not optimal in EVs with high c-rates and therefore they are mostly limited to entry-level, low-range EVs
* LFPs won't be used in the CT, or Ford F-150. The F-150 in particular uses SK Innovation's ultra-nickel high-energy NCM9 bateries currently (also in Kia's EV9)
* LFPs recycling is highly uneconomical -- eg, no high-value metals in cathodes. The cost of recycling LFP is net negative and it would have to be either subsidized by gov't or EV/battery OEMs (eg, the EU CRMA). see "Financial Viability of electric vehicle LIB recycling," Lander et all, iScience 24, July 23, 2021.
Going to be the BEST WORK TRUCK EVER. Tougher than the others and the value proposition of electric over gas is huge. Companies and contractors will save Thousands of $ annually on gas
TESLA DO A SERVICE TRUCK BODY that can be loaded with tools
Truck guy with many truck guy friends. I have yet to hear a single truck owner friend excited about Cybertruck. As stated in the video, I have no idea who this is being marketed to, and I am skeptical about Cybertruck's future. I feel like this is going to be a flop.
I have one reserved. Let's see what happens
but will it be avail. have one other than in silver/satin/chrome ???
No, it will be that way only. But you can wrap or paint in any format that you wanted.
It's a techbro status symbol, it isnot really useful as an actual truck for people that need trucks for bluecollar things. You'll never see one of these hauling around lumber and gardening gear, those buyers cannot afford vanity gear when they have dirt, grease and oil covered fingers trying to use touch screens
“Impede on the usability of the bed” so the lack of wheel arches, and the banked ramp don’t improve that? 😂
Plus having air suspension so the rear can be dropped.
Judging by the knuckleheads with lifted trucks in my neighborhood, you need a step ladder just to get up to the tailgate let alone access from the side.
I love the cyber truck..
You know what'd be cooler? Cyber SUV
CyberVAN
Farmer's can charge at home; they have electrical outlets. A farmer's garage is even more likely (than most people's) to be wired for 50-amp 220v charging. They're farmers, not old-time pioneers.
Yeah but that would take hours. It’s far faster to have a conventional engine which can be refuelled in 5 mins and be back out than having the battery run out and having to end the working day then as it would take so long to recharge the battery
If they make a cyber car ohhh god..👌
Jim Cramer said its going to be a bust, you know what that means, its going to sell like craaazy
Want one. If it actually gets delivered.
