No One Wants To Pay $200,000 For A Tesla Cybertruck Anymore

I can't imagine why not...

I saw the truck in person. It’s ugly.

Be a shame if the ChiCom investment in EV plants in Old Mehico turned to excrement.

They look better in person, I'll say. I was in a Tesla showroom at a shopping mall a couple of weeks ago and popped in just to look around. They had one that was entirely matte black that was actually pretty badass looking.

No thanks though. I'll keep my paid-off 2015 Tacoma 4x4.

“a mere $56,000 profit for the seller”

WTF?

Sounds like a good payday.

Take the money and run. [See if the IRS knows...]

I saw my first North Idaho Cybertruck today. It’s so ugly it’s kind of cool.

Our son in Silicon Valley sees many every day now. Big money flashing their hottest new toy. He spotted the first test vehicle a couple years ago.

Why pay full price when you can wait for the government to tilt the playing field and offer some type of subsidy to buy the inferior E.V.?

I’ll eventually get one but I’ll still keep my F-150.

I may be wrong here but when it was introduced way back I thought the price was gonna be 70k and cheaper if you took the less equipped version. Obviously that was wildly optimistic when it finally got into albeit limited production.

“I don’t want no stinking Tesla Cybertruck.”

“I don’t want NO stinking EV, PERIOD!”

If I live another 84 years, “Don’t fence me in,” I will only drive an electric golf cart, on the golf course.

"netting the seller a significant, well-deserved profit."

Since when is flipping with no added value a form of "well-deserved profit"?

You are trusting leftist Jalopnik for news? Hint. They don’t like Elon. The Cybertruck has rear wheel steering and steer by wire. If you are into technology like I am there is no vehicle currently like it. I just got to convince my wife to let me buy one🤣.

"we would have been looking at a final sale price of more than $700,000, netting the seller a significant, well-deserved profit."

Well deserved? What a warped sense of value or just about anything else. That's just plain nucking futs.

In the past year, I’ve seen as many McLarens on the street as Tesla trucks (1 each).

I recently saw a Cybertruck parked at a Costco in a normal parking spot.

Had to take a picture of it, because it was so unusual.

No One Wants To Pay $200,000 For A Tesla Cybertruck Anymore

Towing distance is awful.

A Tesla Cybertruck range test has resulted in only 103 miles (166 km) of range, but it was performed in the worst conditions possible.

As we reported earlier this week, the first independent tests of the Cybertrucks are starting to come in, and people seem to be particularly interested in the towing range of the new electric pickup truck.

In one of the first tests, we saw the Cybertruck get about 160 miles of range towing roughly 6,000 lbs in decent conditions.

Now, we get a much tougher independent test.

Youtuber JerryRigEverything tested the Cybertruck range while towing 11,000 lbs, the truck’s towing limit, in freezing weather.

He is towing a Hummer, which is known to be not the most aerodynamic vehicle to say the least, but it is still more aerodynamic than most popular box trailers.

What were the results?

The Youtuber was able to drive the Cybertruck 90 miles using 108 kWh for an average of 1,193 Wh per mile.

Anyone buying one would be just for show. I can’t see one being used for hauling bricks or building materials or other construction materials.
