It's one of the UGLIEST, most useless vehicles ever made.

You know it's bad when Edmunds, a top car reviewer website titles their videos like this

I can't decide which is more stupid, the Tesla abomination or the GM one (Hummer EV)

That's almost a straight conversion of american prices after you take into account the new federal luxury car tax. Unlike sales taxes, the vendor is responsible for paying the luxury tax so they've all just absorbed that into the MSRP.

The US dual motor was $93,900. Including the federal luxury tax the straight conversion would be $132k. The Cybertruck after conversion and luxury tax is $163k.

One would have to be demented to pay $163,000+ for this POS

Yep. I keep remembe• Video Linkring the Throttle House episode where they exposed it many flaws, like the razor sharp edges:

Its a shitty vehicle, but i'm not sure what people were expecting. High horsepower pickup trucks are luxury toys. A rivian r1t trimotor is $148k to start. The v8 f150 raptor is $162k. The only reason the Rivian is cheaper is because its exempt from the federal luxury tax (vehicles heavier than 3850 kg are exempt), which is honestly kind of unfair.

Yeah as a toy to attract attention which honestly is a big part of lots of these purchases it may succeed. I predict it might become the first EV to be stolen in any numbers. Russians and Saudis will probably love this.

Rivian models look cool and get really good reviews. Cybertruck should have stayed on the drawing board.

Maybe. I actually saw my first Cybertruck(s) outside of the USA in Dubai a few weeks ago. Either imported or stolen since it hasn't been released there yet.

It's actually relatively small when compared to the type of vehicle most people there drive, and to be honest it came off as measly and cheap. I don't think it'll end up being very popular there.
