Tesla Cybertruck
Well, he said it was going to be different.
Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive. |

I put down my $100 option on one. Maybe I can flip it.

I have had a 2006 Dodge Durango for the last 10 years and that thing might be the best, most reliable vehicle I’ve had. Very underrated for as reliable and low-maintenance as it’s been. My newer 2017 Ram 2500 has had a bunch of recalls and warranty work already so they aren’t all made so well, at least those repairs didn’t cost anything!

On top of that, EVs get cleaner over time. On the manufacturing side, that's due to better efficiencies and innovation. (Remember that EVs are really still in their infancy, so manufacturing is improving rapidly.) On the use side, it's also being driven by the fact that the power grid is rapidly getting cleaner due to more wind, solar, etc. being added. So in short, the argument that EVs are worse for the environment has always been BS, but it's becoming even more BS as time goes on. Last edited by DaFace; 07-01-2020 at 11:37 PM.. |

Cost of ownership is way way less on a Tesla than a ICE. I have both. Trust me. Look up Tesla Loop study. The cost of ownership and maintenance required was very little.

I really want to buy one of these, but I don’t know if I can get over how ugly it is.

We put a $100 deposit on the dual motor Cybertruck.
Here is the deal with Tesla, yes its great you don't need gas and when we purchased our model 3 dual motor last year our electric bill only went up about $8-15 per month vs. $200 plus we payed each month for gas for the wife Porsche Cay... With that said once she purchased it and we got to drive it around a while its absolutely amazing. The crazy thing about Teslas is that they become better the longer you own them. They continue to add new features to them every couple of months that actually make them a better car!!? I mean how many other autos are being made that add new features that are downloaded into your car as the year goes on? I wasn't sold on Tesla before owning one but now my wife said the only car she wants from now on is a Tesla. They are really amazing auto's and if you haven't owned one that its hard to explain. |
