So you arbitrarily have decided that bed length is not important, but home powering is.. how convenient for your argument.

Pretty sure I addressed price. There are cheaper models not yet available as they are still supply constrained so are selling the most expensive options first. As they did with every other vehicle they released.

Either way people are paying 90k and more for trucks already. It's only stupid if you can't afford it. You're not going to find another eye catching, steer by wire truck out there to buy.



If cybertruck actually manages to be sold at 40k, then it will be the one to get. Not gonna happen though, because empty promises, and generally a midsize hybrid truck will still most likely be the better buy because cybertruck will have way less power and range.

Bed length matters for carrying big stuff with tailgate up, which most people dont do, and for most stuff like motorcycles, the tailgate is left down. Both cybertruck and lightning can power a house btw, im just saying that for most people if you subtract that value from both vehicles if you are going to invest in backup power anyways, Lightning becomes a 30k nice pickup truck.

Also the 90k trucks that people are buying are way more capable than a Cybertruck, and have actual good quality construction and finish.


Tesla has proven many times that will flex pricing to move supply. Not having dealers gives them a huge advantage in that they have higher margins from which to offer discounts.

You seem obsessed with price, and in terms of price Tesla really can't be beat. Best selling vehicles in the world right now. Good luck betting against them.
