So close yet so far away…

What are your payments on something like this if you don’t mind me asking

I’m in the same boat https://preview.redd.it/dtkkak36s0ng1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=215db5a008f2f4cf63a063679f0da306eae3beec

It has the ***what*** armor upgrade?

Armor upgrade? Huh?

THE armor upgrade. Terrestrial armor. Sorry I should have put that.

The terrestrial armor upgrade.

We can do this together.

Nah

It's additional armor for the battery, and replaces the plastic side skirts with metal rock sliders for more protection while off-roading [https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-terrestrial-armor-package](https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-terrestrial-armor-package)

There's an [armor package](https://i.imgur.com/bihoYvx.jpeg) that is additional protection for under the battery and the side rails, for off-roading.

I’m putting quite a lot down, so payments are around $600/mo. However because this is a business purchase I’m able to write off the purchase plus the interest (until 2028). So I’ll fast track the payments to finish on or before Dec 2028.

Had no idea this was an option. That’s cool!

It’s a skid plate

Normally would be around 1350 or so but for him to pay 600 he probably put a massive down payment

See I was going to buy it for my business but I heard the insurance is 2-3x as much so I just ended up taking a model y personally on my own insurance instead of on my business

Almost!!!! Congrats on the CT!! I have to wait until October wish me luck!

Pretty cool. I hope by the time I’m ready to buy one, they finally depreciate. Not paying the new price tag of 69k.

I’m in SW Florida. Paid up front it’s $390/mo for commercial.

Don’t blame you! This is the premium version. I thought about the beast but I just don’t need that much power.

None of us need this power. It's just what we are used to. Ha

Is it possible to… learn this power?

MX owner. Had my CT for over a week now, thought I made a big mistake buying it just because the size. Can safely say it’s my new favorite Tesla, so much fun to drive! You’re going to love it!!

Finally?? Cyberteucks have the worst depreciation of basically any vehicle on the road.

Is it hard to fit into parking garages and such?

Not really? The quad steering really helps to maneuver. I’ve only found it annoying to park where I always found it annoying to park even my 3.

I mean does it physically fit in all parking garages? Residential ones and commercial ones.

Idk where you get that information from. It’s exactly the opposite. 2-3 year old standard cyber trucks going for 70K, and with current interest rates it makes no sense if you compare to the old 0% promo they had going last year

Yeah, no clue where you getting that info from. That's definitely not true.

Depreciation doesn’t matter when you immediately get to write it AND interest off. But for the average person, I’d say thought should go into whether or not it’s financially smart. It’s a want not a need for most end users. It’s a massive savings for me as a business owner with no employees. And a huge billboard when it’s wrapped.

While that article is prob valid. Going to buy a used one below 70k with low miles is impossible to find. Maybe now after the release of the dual motor..

😂😂 tell me you’ve never “written off” a vehicle without telling me.

No way anyone was "used to" that much power in a pickup when they bought a Beast. It is fun though

There’s a used cybertruck for $55k 3 miles from my house right now. It still won’t sell at that price.

Miles?

It's fairly easy to maneuver but it is a very wide car. You can definitely park it relatively easily in spot a that are too tight to get out. There is a bit of learning to get it perfectly centered since the back end moves too but getting into the spot is easy

5600. It’s in rancho Cordova. It’s on carfax. That truck will probably sell below $50

I know the feeling

I will buy it right now!! I can't seem to find it ! Send link

Explain rather than being snarky. I"m genuinely interested in your take, and both of us could come out with knowledge neither of us had about the other's viewpoint.

I'll be there soon!

When you exaggerate to such an extreme degree, it makes the rest of your statements less impactful. You are obviously jaded and not someone to go to for information.

my m3 comes this saturday!

Thanks for being so condescending

JEALOUS!

Be strong! 🤣

Is it a 2025 VIN?

It’s coming up as a 2026 VIN

less than a week! stoked for you!

Gonna do my best!😂

What do y’all do for work!! Ughh enjoy

I’m a custom clothier and master tailor. But a lot has happened in my life personally that’s allowed me to be where I am now. It being defensive, just being informative ❤️

Ty! I miss my Y tho

Dudes patience! My Cybertruck order from 23 Nov 2019 still hasn’t come through (RHWD).

Does it have self park / can the CT park itself in a tight parking garage ?

It does not have autopark or autopilot/EAP. Those are discreet code and the CT only has the neutral network stack features. FSD does a very good job parking but not perfect. The vehicle is wide enough that being more than an inch off bugs me but FSD does get it in the lines or at least on the line

Some spots are pretty tough but mostly not a problem. I’m not confident enough to pull forward in-between parked cars yet. Backing in is super easy and I do it 9 of 10 times. There’s so many cameras all over the vehicles that it really helps

When did you order? I ordered mine on February 21 and don’t have any estimated delivery date

Dude! Congrats that's so awesome

OCTOBER??

Yep jumped on the dual motor promo and now orders out to 2027!

what made you get a CT in that case?

Downsizing vehicle count and increasing tax benefits.
