In the USA Tesla still uses their proprietary plug while everyone else uses CCS.

I believe the CyberTruck is going to be the "value" truck. I also expect pricing to be close to what Elon said it will be. He did briefly produce the $35k Model 3 as promised, and you can still phone order it for $36k.

Musk promises seem to be accurate but for timeframe.

Tesla discontinued sale of the secret menu $35K Model 3 at the end of 2020. The cheapest Model 3 is $38,500 now.

Musk isn't even playing the secret menu game with the Model Y. The Model Y SR went on sale in January for $43K. It dropped to $42K, then to the promised $39,990 on February 18th and was pulled from the website February 22. No secret menu option. The cheapest Model Y is $50K today.

I expect the same games for the base Cybertruck.
