Just go price any new trucks recently, especially luxury ones. Seat 5, tow 11k, 6' bed, all the gizmo upgrades, 35" tires, off-road package, yeah.... Let me know what you find. Can't really price FSD into it,... So let's say $92k new is the goal. I can't find any, maybe I'm just bad it this.

Edit: so i just priced a new f 150 platinum, 6.5' bed, tow package, and a 4x4 package (which only has rear lockers and floor liners? didn't quite understand it) and I'm already $90k, but that's just pricing online. This video, sadly, reflects my personal experience shopping in the luxury truck market:


This doesn't mean the CT should be $100k, by any means! But I need to buy a truck, I WANT a luxury truck for the family, I don't want it to cost $0.25 / mile to drive, and it's currently a bad time to buy a truck in general... soooo... we're all kinda screwed I guess lol
Come on down to Dallas, Almost any dealer here will get you into what you want for mid 80k. I paid 85k, and I had a couple of stupid options I paid for, but did not want (Chrome package? 3k,etc). Mine had pretty much every bell and whistle.

Best I've found the luxury silverados are the most competitve, in CA anyway. The other 2 reasons I'll happily pay an extra $7k for a luxury electric truck is (1) I have lots of solar, so charging up at home is essentially free and (2) I frequenty do light towing (1500-3000lbs) into town and back into my rural area, so I don't need the crazy tow range but I DO need lots of payload capacity.
I use my vehicles a lot, not a leasing type. So after 100k miles for my use-case vs a 20mpg truck, I figure: 100,000 miles / 20mpg = 5000 gallons -> 5000 gallons * $4.5 / gallon = $22,500. Welcome to CA!

As far as I'm concerned, this CT is costing me $77,500. After 200k miles? eh, who knows the gas prices will be. Maybe if my livelyhood was in TX, who knows. But one thing is for sure, we don't directly spend any money on gas anymore.

My place in line is 223,000+ and they sent me a foundation invite, but y'know what?
I'm out.
It's not a truck it's a toy. If you have cargo in that thing and hit the pedal, it's flying all over the place.

I have come to the conclusion that it's completely useless to me.
And you know what? When it first drove onto the stage, that was my initial reaction.
"They've built something completely useless."
