I opened the link provided by one of the other members and it opened a page showing several of them with that price range listed.
In response to the other guy who said I did not know what I was talking about, let me remind you all of my statement: my opinion is not what I offered, who cares what I think anyway, right ? I was pointing out the logistics and other factors with EV's in general that I have read and heard dealers who are in the business say about it.
That is all. If you have an EV so what, good for you I do not care either way I just do not want this spiral into pissing contest.
Thats all folks. Happy Easter to ya'll.

Your pricing is flat out bogus. I've seen numerous pricing and they are all consistent with the $60k for one motor, $80k for 2 motor and $100k for 3 motor models. Never saw anyone list a $165-175k model. Just randomly looked at two more sites, Motor Trend https://www.motortrend.com/features/2024-tesla-cybertruck-ev-pickup-price-msrp/ and Car and Driver https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck and both sources are about exactly what has been reported about everywhere.

Your right, I could care less what you think but if you post blatantly false info and claim it as simple fact, be prepared for someone or many to point out the errors of your ways. BTW, the motor trend site also lists comparative pickup pricing for other major brands of trucks.

If you think the cyber truck is ugly, that's an opinion. If you state as fact that they cost $165-175k that's just bogus.
BTW, I don't own an EV, I stated clearly IMO coal burners are not yet ready for prime time.

If i had a 165 thousand to spend it certainly wouldn't be on Tesla anything.

That was my point on their reselling price. Buy in early and sell to the ‘newbies’ for double their price, so no waiting list. You’re right on the $60k pricing. Less expensive than other EV’s, for all you’re getting.

Guys, I really don't think this vehicle's target audience is old guys...

To Big Daddy:
One big reason that I like, as an old Electronics Service guy, is their Cybertruck electronics. Tesla patented their Electronics cabling so that it can be installed by robotics on an assembly line and diagnosed easily.
As examples here:

“ Distributed controllers:
For instance, a door controller would be responsible for the window, speakers, lights, mirror, and other door components that need electrical input to work. The wires, in this case, will be short and all contained inside the door assembly. The door will then be connected to the vehicle's data bus with only two wires, which also provide power to the electrical components. Only two wires for all the door's complex functions, versus more than a dozen in a legacy car, this is what Tesla has done with the Cybertruck.

The electric pickup features a steer-by-wire system that needs a high-speed (low-latency) communication bus to transmit the steering wheel movements to the Cybertruck's wheels in real-time. That's why the CAN bus that most cars use today was found inadequate: it has a low data throughput (about 1 Mbps) and high latency. Instead, Tesla used a version of the Gigabit Ethernet architecture with Power over Ethernet to power the components using the same data wires.”
See the Cybertruck modular system vs typical car $$$ assembly System. Easier and faster to diagnose.

Ok BD, READ WHAT I PREVIOUSLY SAID !
I noted and responded to Jerry's post and his link that I opened and got the prices from there ! PERIOD !
Here it is for you:
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Tesla-Cybertruck-d3353

I have never heard of this truck before until this post. Period !!
So to publicly say my pricing is bogus is BS !! It is NOT my pricing. I just responded to a post I opened. Period.

You are obviously emotionally disturbed by this so I felt I needed to publicly clear it up.
I hope you had a good bowl movement today and feel better and no I am not offended, I am just clearing up my reply to post and link posted here. Period.
I hope the Easter Bunny comes to see you.
Keep'n real, Bruce in Texas.

Why not buy from tesla?

Perhaps Tesla can't make them fast enough. The release was delay for like 2 years and now they have production problems.

BigDaddy Loc: Pittsburgh, PA

You sure had some serious negative opinions on a subject you knew NOTHING about.

As for "keepin' it real" about everything you said about this truck was flat out wrong. MSRP is $65-75,000 LESS than you claimed. It tows 11000 lbs, has a 2 1/2 ton payload. The body is super strong stainless steel. About all you got right is YOU think it's ugly.

Fact is, people that were lucky enough to buy one are selling them USED for a $75,000 profit, so some people must like the looks. A few years ago I thought it was ugly as well but it tends to grow on you as you get used to it.

I would love to own one if it were not a coal burner. Every vehicle I've owned in the past 65 years, both foreign & domestic, turned into rust buckets. This trucks SS body would be terrific. This is the first auto since the DeLorean that doesn't have planned obsolescence built in. The "powers that be" took care of DeLorean for upsetting their apple cart, and you can bet they will try that with Musk as well.

Now you know it's NOT "a lot of money for nothing", and your Dodge Ram PU truck can NOT "carry more than probably at least 10 of those ugly EV trucks could" (it tows 11,000 pounds, 1 1/2 ton payload,) SS bullet proof body that will never rust away, 0-60 in <3 seconds, a range of 320- 440 miles, 825 HP.

How do you feel about it now, besides it's looks?

riderxlx Loc: DFW area Texas

What is wrong with you bro ?
Again, I RESPONDED TO THE LINK POSTED BY Jerry, that's all !!!!!!!!!!

At that time that was all I knew about it and never heard of it before. So, I know more now, actually it the 'todays' look.
By the way, a quick search I just did brought this up:
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2024-tesla-cybertruck-shows-up-on-ebay-sells-like-hotcakes-might-be-the-cheapest-so-far-231563.html

ALSO;
https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck

So prices vary.

Looking at it again on my desktop I do not have a problem with the looks.
NO DOUBT it is well engineered and built.

At 72 I do not think I will be getting anything new.
So, enjoy your Easter day.

I do think the Cybertruck reflects Musk personality well. It's definitely his truck.

BigDaddy Loc: Pittsburgh, PA

Whelp, it seems if you had $100,000 to spend on a Tesla Cybertruck, you could have sold it for a profit of $51 -$144,00. So I guess you (and I) missed out on the deal of a lifetime.

riderxlx Loc: DFW area Texas

Hell yea I missed out too.
The two links I sent, spent 30 seconds ot pull them up, sure shows this as people auctioned them off or resold. Not the first boat I missed.
IF Jerry had not made this post I would probably never would know this and I have have yet to see one but would like too.
