Tesla's long-delayed Cybertruck will be priced starting at $60,990, over 50% more than what CEO Elon Musk had touted in 2019 and a cost analysts have said will draw select, affluent buyers.
Unsurprisingly the Muskrat lied about everything else too
They only showed it at 35 mph because going at a real speed like 65+ will get this thing obliterated unlike most other cars that deal with physics and not just "ME HAVE STRONGEST TRUCK." Crumple zones are for beta cuck soyboys.
"Well, our market analysis returned: 'lmfao, no one who spends more than a minute thinking about their purchases will buy this TRON looking truncated shit wedge'. So we decided to capitalize on their insights."
”We decided to pivot to another tried and true marketing strategy: say that this garbage is so expensive because it's meant for rich people, not some ordinary pleb.”
Yeah but consider this: When you and your family die in an accident due to the lack of crumple zones, you can just use the intact cybertruck as a family coffin and save the cost of 4 seperate ones. The price makes total sense when you start thinking like a true businessman.
I have an affinity for the aesthetic it's trying to have, but it doesn't actually succeed at hitting that look anyway. From most angles it looks like a shitty cardboard Halloween costume version of itself.
Imagine being so car brained that you think personal transportation, particularly one where every human drives a 9000 pound truck with 100s of pounds of rare earth metals mined by child slaves, is the future.
Seriously the only way this thing was going to compete with rivian was by being 20k cheaper.
Now it's an uglier shittier less practical worse made vehicle for the same price with the added benefit of anybody who sees you in it is going to assume you're a dumbass at best and a tool.
I doubt they're the ones cooming over this vehicle. Judging by the crowd of fanboys that paid out of their own pocket to attend this release party they are rich techies. And the market for vanity trucks costing over 80k in the US is huge and growing every year. Just in my apartment complex alone, there are now TWO Ram TRXs crowding our small parking lot. That is a $100k 700 hp truck with no practical utility for actual work.
In their defense idk if there's anything chuds love more than going into debt so they can drive a giant useless pickup truck they absolutely do not need.
Spend fucking 90k to walk away with a 4 foot bed that's so deep you can't reach anything un it without climbing into it
It's poetically ironic how much the upper-middle-class will spend all that money just to look like us poors.
From the white-collar suburbanite that calls himself a 'redneck', to the CHUDs with sparkling pickups, I like to refer to them as 'cosplay cowboys'. What's worse is that they're making their LARP somewhat real, look at how much cities, especially walkable cities are rapidly gentrifying, while the wasteful consoomery suburbs that cosplay cowboys prefer are now the closest thing to a place where us poors can live.
So in some sense, suburbs are where both the rich and poor live together for wildly different reasons.
The only people buying this are collectors. I cannot wrap my head around the concept that the pictures are of the production model. Did Elon draw this himself?
And the collectors are tech bros who have never touched dirt in their lives who want to pretend they’re rugged blue collar people. No actual worker in the trades or construction will buy this junk
Calling it now, it will run at least $85,000 ($90,000 to activate the heated seat feature that is already installed in the seats) once they actually start making them, and running over a pothole in one will instantly shatter the spine of the driver and front passenger
