How about the thicknes of the metal?

I tried to get pictures without anyone else in them, but it was difficult. After about 10 minutes there were probably 30 people walking around touching it and taking pictures. Surprisingly, most people didn't even know what it was or that Tesla was building a truck. They just saw something awesome driving by and stopped to check it out.

I was honestly surprised by how thin the metal is. I get that they have done a lot of work to make it extremely strong, but I expected it to be probably 3x as thick. They must be working some serious magic for those panels to take the place of a frame.

Would you say it was the first cybertruck bought with Bitcoin?

I have been watching a lot of videos and all the reviews about that truck, and it's amazing how fast, strong and powerful it is, so, enjoy it. But what i don't understand at all is the price gap that you paid. Why did you pay more than 6 BTC?, i know the Bitcoin prize has been on a roller coaster, but 6.5btc is a crazy amount compared to the current prize order.

Price of my Cybertruck when ordered: 6.59229 BTC
Current price of my ordered Cybertruck:

It wasn't mine and I haven't actually purchased one yet, nor do they accept Bitcoin yet so we'll see how it all goes. I am still on the preorder list. I would place the odds at about 60/40 of me obtaining a Cybertruck this year. The deciding factor being whether or not I want to pay $20,000 for a Foundation Series truck to get it sooner or not. While I do want it today, I also want the best product available, and given the advances in their 4680 batteries planned for the near future, it could add 10% to the range of the vehicle to just wait and get their latest 4680 revision batteries. So a decision I'll have to make is whether to wait for a better product, or pay more to have a worse product immediately. I'm still not decided, but Bitcoin's price the day I get the email will also be a factor.

Let me explain the pricing I have listed. The day I ordered a Cybertruck I looked at the price and exchange rate and came up with a price. Since that time both Bitcoin and the cost of the Cybertruck have risen, but Bitcoin has risen more, hence the price being cheaper today in Bitcoin. I included this because 1) this topic would be moved if it weren't about Bitcoin and your boy gots to get his $, & 2) it shows that a rising Bitcoin price over time incentivizes Bitcoiners to hold out for favorable exchange rates. Had I converted the funds to USD immediately instead of holding BTC I would not only not have enough USD for the purchase of the truck at the new pricing, but I also would have less BTC. It was definitely a smart move to choose to hold BTC instead of USD for this purchase.
