I’m a huge fan of depreciated used electric vehicles. There definitely is a price point at which I’d buy a Cybertruck, but they’d need to depreciate quite a bit more first. Even 50% off is not enough

They're work 35k to me. At most.

I got both my Tacoma and Nissan leaf for less than that. As a truck, the cybertruck sucks. As an electric car, the cybertruck sucks.

Sure! But I already have a Sequoia and a Honda FIT if I was going to replace my Honda fit (I'm hopefully getting a slate truck) I'd replace it with an electric truck. I do 120 miles a day commute.

Ew.

But those slate trucks look fun as shit. If it ends up meeting expectations, it might be one of the only trucks I'd consider getting rid of my Tacoma for.

I know but cost of living is so much better away from the Baltimore beltloop. :/

I'm conscious that it could be vaporware of a product but if it comes out I'll be happy I put in the reservation. My fit is going to be toast by the time the slate starts rolling off the assembly line.

I bought my '08 wrx used for $16,500. Would rather have 2 of them than a cybertruck

Yea that's fair. I'm not saying I'd purchase this truck. I'm saying I'd value them at 35k at best.
