I saw a Rivian today and wondered why anyone would buy a Cyber Truck. Then I punched the accelerator on my 2006 Toyota Highlander V6 and got a huge grin on my face. Having paid $5000 two years ago without a car payment made me smile.
"...Cybertuck turns heads everywhere..." (4:21) Yup - but it is more for the simple reason of saying "Oh..hey look...a complete idiot with way too much money..."
Used Cybertrucks are holding resale value really well. Cheapest one in America is $85k. Best selling electric pickup truck in America without the base truck released. I totally want one. Just can't afford it. Eventually used will fall into my price range.
They are "ASKING" for $85,000 What they are getting (assuming they can find another idiot) would be far lower. Good luck with your dream Dude - You are gonna need it.
I'll take one, I just had too many financial surprises over the last 6 years. No to mention that my job is about to learn that undervaluing me while depending so much on me is a mistake.
The Cybertruck looks like something from the future as seen in an early 90s sci-fi movie, and I love it for that. That said, I am not in the market for an electric truck. While the styling really appeals to me (crazy artist who went to design school) and my 82 year old father (Architect), it was never going to appeal to everyone. What I don't understand is, even before Elon's political stunts, people went out of their way to hate on this truck. There are plenty of cars and trucks I don't like in this world, but I am not going to make videos about how much I hate them, I just simply will choose not to buy one for myself. I am sure there are plenty of people who love this truck, but are worried how people might judge them for simply liking something they don't. In many states the most popular vehicle has less than a 2% market share, so you definitely do not need wide market appeal to have a sales success. I want this truck to be a success not because I like Tesla, I am actually not a fan of Elon right now, but because I want more manufactures to take design risks and stop all copying each-other.
well said, and anything that urges automakers to take design risks should be supported - a successful cybertruck will open the doors for unique design, for that alone we should all hope for it to do well.
The cyber truck doesn’t function as a truck. I don’t expect sales to improve. The design is divisive so it’s upper threshold of adoption is extremely low.
Tesla made some amazing technological advancements in the Cybertruck, but on they face planted hard on some “build a vehicle” basics which have resulted in costly (or unavailable) repairs, not to speak of the massive depreciation it takes immediately. Oh, and let’s not forget that almost everyone else on the road is judging the Cybertruck drivers… 🤡
ah, good point.. ive heard some horror stories about trying to get one of these repaired after an accident, and yea, the depreciation... man. That's why, if you want one, lease one right?
Seems like there are a lot production errors and some design problems. I want to let Tesla work those out. Also, I expect some price drops in the none too distant future.
Trucks haven't changed their look in 65+ years until now. Trucks shouldn't be delicate, pretty things you're afraid to scratch. Cybertruck is the best selling EV truck already, even though it's last to market. It's more efficient than the others too. It has tech features which still are unmatched by any other vehicle. The wedge shape is more logical than the ancient 3 box shape of every other truck. Cybertruck is lighter and smaller than the other EV trucks.
This is maybe one of the only vehicles where a lease makes financial sense vs buying. With all of the QC and production issues that the CT has had, you may be better off not owning it since if it breaks it is Tesla's problem, not yours. Granted, you are stuck paying a lease and waiting months for repair, but at least there's an end-date. I'll still argue that it's a poor decision to lease, imagine paying 800+ per month for a few years and not having anything to show for it at the end. Just rent a CT on Turo for a few weekends and use that lease money to actually purchase a more reasonable vehicle. Hell, for 800+ you can actually get something nice and you actually have more options than a base-model corolla.
You drive your cybertruck down to home depot. There will likely be a helpful gentleman in the parking lot who is looking for work; he will call his cousin who has a real truck (a 2002 chevy 1500 that is 90% rust). You then drive your cybertruck to where the soil is sold while the other vehicle follows you. You pay for the soil, which is loaded in the other vehicle. This solves the other problem of having to clean out the bed afterwards, since apparently the storage compartments in the bed aren't waterproof, so win-win!
You spend $100,000 on your truck then You load up the hefty 3.2 pounds of BAGGED dirt and take it where its needed and unload it Then, you take it to the car wash to clean any nasty dirt away with the hope that the truck doesn't immediately begin rusting. While that is happening - I will take MY $10,000 dually to grab 3 full yards of dirt - unload it - and keep working.
@@zrobotics Thanks I now understand 2 things, how to load a yard of soil with a cyber truck, and what all those guys in trucks sitting in the home depot parking lot are doing.

Yes, I do not want a Cyber Truck.

Cheapest one is 82k with 7k after market upgrade. None sold in last 3 months.

Reserved one of these back in the day. Still waiting for the basic base model as I’m not paying insane prices for one.

A skeleton with flaming head might be too on the nose for cyber truck video😢

The Cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle on the road today! And the GM ev pickups have shown it's superior qualities over the Cybertruck!
Those are more than 20 k more expensive
Looks aside, try charging the GM one then decide. For some reason all the non Tesla EVs have the worst user experience.

😅😅😅😅😅
Haven't seen one in person, have you? They aren't smaller
I see the Cybertruck as trying to be a truck but handicapped by it's wedge shaped design.
Scsred to drive one. Might end up trading my model Y for it. Drive by wire..amazing

My only question is, how do you load a yard of soil into this "truck"?
You drive your cybertruck down to home depot. There will likely be a helpful gentleman in the parking lot who is looking for work; he will call his cousin who has a real truck (a 2002 chevy 1500 that is 90% rust). You then drive your cybertruck to where the soil is sold while the other vehicle follows you. You pay for the soil, which is loaded in the other vehicle.
