What surprised me is the "order with card" choice. I haven't bought a new car in a while, but is it normal to be defaulted to putting a $100,000 purchase on a credit card? Edit: Nevermind, it's a $250 deposit on a later $100,000 purchase.
So the $40K CyberTruck is actually $61,000 and works on the assumption of tax credits being available at the end of 2025, 2 years from now... oh, and we've gone back to the bullshit of "subtracting gas costs from the "probable price"." Another Elon lie. Four, nearly five years after initial claims - meant to be available in 2021, and 52% more expensive. "Range: 250 - 500 miles". Another lie. Try 250 - 340. 33% less.…
No thanks, I'm reserving an Alpha Wolf https://www.alphamotorinc.com/vehiclereservation
Thats a big list of models for a company Ive never heard of
No $40k truck, but $61k is $51.6k in 2019 dollars, so pretty reasonable price and specs.
Also, we’re talking about a new industry here because of which a lot of costs are also likely facing downwards pressure (so, for example, batteries are almost certainly cheaper today than they were 4-5 years ago).
Edit: This has caught me by surprise but EV battery prices seem to have started going up in constant dollars. It’s still lower than in 2019, so the nominal dollars are probably slightly lower than 2019, but I haven’t been following this for a few years and assumed battery prices were still going down in constant dollars.

$61k. Click on the tab that says "purchase price".
> Prices assume ... est. gas savings of $3,600 over 3 years. Seems shady
Edit: Other comments say they've been doing that for a while, even with the 3 series. So, I guess it's accepted? Urgh.
> With the ability to pull near infinite mass and a towing capability of over 14,000 pounds, Cybertruck can perform in almost any extreme situation with ease. This is direct quote from the Tesla site from 3 weeks ago. It’s now 11,000lbs on the linked page. More Musk bullshittery.

I would be surprised if Tesla allows placing the entire order by credit card.
