| A post last month in a Cybertruck Facebook group suggested that the vehicle is likely to cost around $99,000

When it was announced, I was almost on the fence about this being a viable product, but given all of the recent rumors and news regarding the Cybertruck, it seems like a disaster. There's no way I would buy this, but especially no way at that cost.

There's little to no reason to purchase a Tesla anything at this point.

I hear if you need a supercharger, they make the best from what I hear, but otherwise agreed.

Anyone interested in EV trucks should check out Edison Motors, they're starting with industrial trucks but plan on producing a retrofit kit for pickups.
