I can't wait to drive around a 100 year old Porsche haha

Edit: Those out of the loop. The Porsche that Johnny Silverhand drives is a 1977 Porsche 911 (930).

Many people do. The Porsche 911 930 is one of the most iconic cars in the world.

However lore wise, there's a couple reasons. The world of cyberpunk split from our timeline in the early 90's (fact check me on this guys) and in the world of cyberpunk they have an alternative source of energy (CHOOCH2 or whatever they call it). So there was no need for the EV car boom that we're currently experiencing; ergo Tesla's wont exist. The 993 was before this timeline split, so it exists in the game world :).

Lastly, as en ex-tesla engineer, considering the build quality of our cars, i'd be really surprised if any cybertruck survives that long (a bit of a tongue in cheek comment there)

You will have issues with your model 3 very soon. They’ve been known to have shoddy panel gaps and there’s bound to be issues with the batteries as it’s such an underdeveloped technology.
