Strongly agree. Elon Musks' $40k USD Cybertruck reveal was one of the first times in years it felt like our present was making some kind of headway into the future, but while also being accessible to common people ($40k truck is still a huge luxury don't get me wrong). |

I don’t think you have priced trucks in awhile. You can buy a 60k Jeep truck, an 85k RAM 2500, a 95k GMC Sierra ATR4 (or whatever), a 65k Bison Colorado, etc etc. Trucks got expensive. I think you price new 40k trucks you’re going to be looking at Tacomas.
40k for a specialty electric truck is absolutely too good to be true, and I promise you it won’t happen like that.
All that said, that Tesla truck isn’t even remotely real. There is almost no way it passes crash testing with 1/8th stainless steel panels as is, let alone European homologation requirements, it has no mirrors or wipers. It’s all for show right now so pardon me while I don’t join in the hyper parade.
