If Silicon Valley was still airing, Russ Hanneman would have one of these.

For the people that can afford one? Sure. AMEX has no limit and plenty of other cards for high net worth individuals are similar. Plus weirdly, people like that usually really like to collect the credit card points.
I’ve tried multiple times to pay the full balance with credit, the most I’ve seen dealerships be okay with is 3k or 4k of the balance.
The cheapest F150 Lightning (available today not in 2025) is $50k (vs $60k for Cybertruck), same 250 mile range but AWD standard , and is a regular pickup truck compatible with standard accessories and parts for doing actual pickup truck work. Of course, most of the buyers of either the Cybertruck or the F150 Lightning probably aren't getting much dirt under their fingernails. Everyone I know doing construction/trade…
> The cheapest F150 Lightning (available today not in 2025) is $50k Can you actually buy it at that price?
Stainless steel exterior with sharp edges. Not looking forwarding to seeing pedestrians get gored when these things run into them. Not holding my breath on good crash compatibility with cars, either. If you care about humans, you won't get one of these.
A low sharp front is what you want if you get hit by a vehicle at speed. A high blunt front might be less likely to break your legs but more likely to kill you. https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/vehicles-with-higher-more-v...
What the article calls "blunt" (the thing that kills peds the most) is pretty much what the Cybertruck maximized.

Wouldn't the first truck's range be significantly reduced by the additional weight? The second truck will have to tow a third fully charged truck to get us to 500 miles.
Right, but remember you can also subtract the combined length of all these cybertrucks from the 500 mile target. So there's a sweet spot in there somewhere around the 400 car mark.
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.
Moreover, a substantial amount of remote European contractors who use US LLCs put their personal expenditures on company CCs to evade CRS.
> Prices assume IRA Federal Tax Credits up to $7,500 for Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive and est. gas savings of $3,600 over 3 years. This seems like a new low in scammy marketing. I can't wait for everything to have wildly undermarked prices with small asterisks saying it's when you subtract all the ways it will save you money in the long term.
They've been doing this for many years now. The 3 was released with the prices calculated in this way on the website.
What kind of hatred for their surroundings needs one to consider buying this death-sentence-on-wheels?
Why is it a death-sentence-on-wheels?

"Sharp" as in "low to the ground", not a literal sharp angle. A car with a low, rounded front won't maim as badly as the Cybertruck's sharp angle aimed at your torso. What the article calls "blunt" (the thing that kills peds the most) is pretty much what the Cybertruck maximized.
Faster quarter mile drag speed than a Porsche 911 _while also towing a 911_ That's incredible marketing. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1730331223992472029
