The launch event will be streamed on Twitter later (sorry, not calling it X 
) https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/1729954264540156295
Looks to start at 8pm GMT time.
No, but a while back Elon said he would "consider" it. Bit of a lame move him caving into pressure to stop accepting it. I'd love to buy a Cybertruck in BTC, but I still think it will be a miracle if this makes it into full production at an affordable price along with being fully road legal here in the UK.
I'm really wondering what the price is actually going to be. If it's under $100k I'll be surprised. The 40k price tag never really made sense.
Inflation alone looks to have pushed up the price by 28%:

Even 60k would still be optimistic. If some select people are taking home their trucks today surely they've already paid for them unless this is just a PR sham and they're giving them to some celebs or people associated with Tesla.

Is there any word if Tesla will accept Bitcoin payments for vehicles again?

LOL there are no "preorders", the $100 deposit means jack shit, especially since most of those "buyers" likely put it down on a $40k truck, which will never happen. Tesla will make top trim Lambo-priced version first and will try to push it to everyone regardless of their position in the queue or even without a deposit. The $50k penalty nonsense is just a clunky PR play trying to make it look like there is going to be a reseller stampede, and to get some more free publicity.

Inflation has driven up the average amount paid for new pickups by 28%. Some reservation holders planning to attend the Nov. 30 launch party in Austin fear a dramatic repricing that could relegate the Cybertruck to a toy for the rich.
How much is too much?
If Tesla’s intent is for the dual-motor Cybertruck to more or less track the F-150, its price will end up rising to roughly $60,000. That could be the dividing line used to distinguish between whether this is a product actually built for utility or one that more so appeals to vanity.
