          The average new car runs around 47k. The cyber truck is 60k. There isn’t a huge difference there. The one I want is 80k. I latest have two cars. Both cost about 60k a piece. The truck can replace both of those.

            Not if they keep taking it away from you.
            Then you are left with 0 vehicles while they fix it

              I’ll decide when I hit my number. My main annoyance is the mileage isn’t what they originally claimed. That was the appeal was a 500 mile range. The the sweet spot for my driving needs. Why I have two cars. Otherwise I’d be all electric.

                  The reason I want 500 is the 280 or so I get is good most the time except when it’s very cold out. 500 would help during the summer and winter. When it’s super cold out I get Maybe 200 miles.

                    Yup and when I drive it’s either nowhere or nearly 120 miles each way with next to no charging infrastructure in-between both points or at either end.

                    I could of course install a charger at my own house, but that only solves 1 end. 500 would be a comfortable buffer as the batteries inevitably degrade and for below freezing weather conditions.

            Why compare it to the average new car instead of the average new pickup?

              It fairs even better when you look at trucks. The average is over 60k for a truck which makes the cyber a steal.

              Personally I don’t see it as a “truck”. It’s weird car

                Yeah weird in that regard that a car wash can render it non-functional if you forget to put it into car wash mode

                I initially thought it was a joke

                  I haven’t read on that yet. Car wash mode turns off certain features. I can’t remember which one to avoid the car fighting the wash
