Lifetime Ford guy here, currently 7.3 Excursion. I'm pretty disappointed in the Lightning. Sure more utility, plugs, fancy lights and classic looks..... but the range, oooof. Can't do it. Very excited for my CyberTruck tri-motor with 500+ mile range.

So far there's nothing to indicate when or if the 500-mile-range version will ever actually be released, and there's some question as to if the stated specs are even possible with the physical design and current battery tech.

So actual truck is not exciting but vaporware is.

Got it.

Did you even read his comment? He clearly pointed out that the range is the limiting factor. I'm not sure about you but I like my cars to be drivable.

Edit: I read the comment as saying "vaporwave" (the artistic style of the Cybertruck). Yes I can agree, we really have no idea when the longer range model will come.

The point of the comment you're replying to is that so far there's no indication that the 500-mile-range Cybertruck will actually happen, or that it if it does happen it will happen anytime soon, given the company's history of overpromising and overpredicting on other functionality.

Thanks for explaining. My brain read "vaporwave" not "vaporware". Makes more sense now...I don't typically think of HN as a place where people love to argue about asthetics.
