I have a cybertruck reservation that I think I'm going to pass on. I like Tesla the brand and the cars, but I have two now with batteries that only went ~70k miles before CAC imbalance is serious enough to risk getting stranded at a supercharger. Maybe if the $14-16k remanufactured battery they want to sell you (including core for your old battery) actually had any new cells in it I wouldn't be so salty, but as it is, I don't think I want another iPhone with wheels.

There’s some irony with long-range batteries. It’s chemistry degrade quicker and they fail earlier. Haven’t seen an LFP battery fail yet.
