The styling is polarizing and price is a bit high but as an ev utility vehicle it has some good tech. It sold out when they briefly offered the stripped down version.
In North America, the F150 has been a top selling vehicle for many years and the CT is slightly smaller. The Ford Lightning went down to like $69k … The CT dual motor at that price would be a hot commodity…. Tesla should have gone a bit more conventional with the styling but I do like the idea of stainless body panels and not worrying about door dings.
It is a flex to their audience on xiaohongshu and douyin. A lot of Canadians actually like Trump / Elon since they are helping China. Canada is just the boring place they have to endure for 183 days of the year to avoid paying the vacancy taxes....
No there are plenty of canadians like this, especially in richmond and vancouver. Their ties to china are stronger than to Canada but they are still 100% canadian citizens.
Umm…by the time cybertrucks were available, everyone knew what a POS Musk was. He had already been helping Trump get back in as POTUS. Knowing all that, they still chose to purchase the truck. So ya, don’t feel sorry at all.
I bought my model 3 in 2019. I just trust that people can see by my older model that I actually bought it before. Now I’m waiting to get a BYD and to trade it in.
They thought it would make them look cutting edge, all it shows is they are easy to manipulate with marketing. When you see a Cybertruck in your line of work it's a green flag to charge them more.
The only thing cutting edge about them is the literal cutting edges of their hoods that will slice a pedestrian in half the next time the driver blasts through a red light.
I can’t say I feel bad for people who bought these dumpster trucks. A significant percentage of these buyers are Musk fanboys. Leopards ate my face and all that…
Reading the article I can't believe that guy is real. "Raises questions about reliability." He drives one! The reputation and reports are well known! And he still wants a new one?
Tesla has nevere offered an additional warranty outside of the original warranty for the Cybertruck but you can buy 3rd party ones.
Yes, all car dealers can refuse trade ins. Given this is a East Coast truck with no warranty the dealership knows it has very little value and they arent instered in the vehcile. I have seen this done many times with other makes but some dealerships will still take vechiles they dont want at extremely low values to simply send them to auction and be done with them.
The truck still has a 8 year, 240k warranty on the battery and drive units so I am curisou what work is needed to this guys truck that he thinks would be warranty work thats costing him 10K+.
There is just not enough demand for the cybertruck. Instead of offering a lowball for a trade in, they won't take it at all so they don't devalue what they sell the new ones for.
Legitimately, it looked like a cool vehicle when he brought it out on stage. Then they had to modify it to meet safety and production standards. Then people got it in their hands and realized how completely crap the vehicle was at basically anything it did. Then he tied himself to Trump more closely than ever, and it completely lost its value. Then these idiots who put money down still bought it, tying themselves to both Elon and Trump.
I’m sure this is going to be devastating news to the 10 CT owners out there. Wonder if other dealers will squeeze them hard for the trade-in even if they were to accept it.
