Don't get me wrong
I didn't make a reservation for the Bollinger due to the price
I didn't make a reservation for the Rivian because the steel body will rust out in NYS due to road salt
I would never get a model 3 for the same reason. (Though about buying a used Model S for an everyday driver).
The minute I saw that the CyberTruck was going to be made with stainless steel I made the reservation
I did this because, IF MADE, the CyberTruck would be a replacement for my:
2006 165k mileage 4cyc 2WD Toyota Tacoma (lumber hauler)
2010 156k mileage Toyota Camry (everyday driver)
2001 220K mileage 4WD Chevy K3500 (For pulling big trailers to camp and back).
Can you tell if I get my value out of my vehicles? ? (I have never bought a vehicle new)
But 77,000$ for a brand new CyberTruck is a deal
It would literally last me for the rest of my life (I'm 44 now)
And I would only have to insure and maintain one vehicle to do the job of 3
But a lot of things could go wrong btwn now and then:
The economy could s#!t the bed
The design might now work
It could end up being much more expensive or the value of the dollar could go down
I'll be a bigger believer WHEN we have a true working model
AKA a true unibody stainless steel prototype driving around
Instead of this unibody on frame mock-up that was made to compete with Rivian and Bollinger.
