After multiple years of delays, it looks like the Cybertruck is finally on its way to consumers.
It’s hard to read anything about this guy and not think immediately… Fuck this dude. I know there are tens of thousands of employees behind him but still I just can’t help it.
The Cybertruck is a vehicle that’s unlike anything that was had ever been fine before. It’s not surprising that bringing it to market was a challenge. The question is whether being different will also make it a better vehicle.
Getting close to that 2021 release at $40k purchase price?
It wouldn’t be reasonable to expect the 40k price after the crazy inflation we’ve seen
What I want to know is how much higher is it after taking inflation into account…
Edit: looked it up. 40k in 2019 is 47.7k today. 40k in 2021 the planned release day/price, in 2023 is 45k. The 45k number probably makes the most sense. That’s assuming the random site I used is anywhere near correct.
I would be amazed if it sells for anywhere near 40. I bet it launches at closer to 60.
Somewhere in the 60-70k range is probably where it’ll land ya.
That’d be 15-25k more after inflation (instead of 20-30k more)
Edit: at least it should fully qualify for the 7500 federal rebate since it uses the 4680 cells. Was reading the m3 might lose the full rebate in 2024
The second generation Ford Lightning EV will be out in late 2024 as a 2025 model. They also have a smaller EV pickup coming out not long after. The Ram EV will be out as well as the GMC Sierra.
Tesla was the first to announce and will likely be last to deliver.
But does it hold 30 gallons of water in the rear bumper?
