Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year::Tesla may agree to buy the truck back at the original price minus “$0.25/mile driven” and any damages and repairs.

    but I’d really, really love a car that doesn’t ding if you look at it the wrong way.

    Well you better hope you never ding the Cybertruck unless you want to replace an entire stainless steel panel and hope it aligns properly.

      Also it’s stainless steel, not scratchless steel. Anyone who’s scrubbed a stainless steel pan knows they scratch up quickly.

        I could personally care less about metal scratches, but white primer (or whatever color) under colored paint does bother me. Plus, when the paint peels off it invites rust.

        I really just want an indestructible box on wheels (yes, I know the cybertruck isn’t it). Old unimogs sell well with people in the area - I’m just idealistic hoping for a bomber electric jeep one day.

          sounds like you’d be best off getting an electric conversion if you really want something like that, I don’t think any manufacturer will be producing something like that anytime soon

            I agree. I was wait listed for a Rivian, but was reading about quality issues, long maintenance waits, and very thin bodywork. That combined with the price made it a little unpalatable. We need a replacement soon, so I unfortunately think it will be gas.

      Like I said - I don’t like the cybertruck itself, but I like some of the aspects (thicker doors, no paint). I do apply aspects of this to cars that I own through expensive skid plates, rock sliders, etc. They are cheaper to replace than the bodywork, but I’d still like those to be a little beefier. Paint has been a sore spot for me with “desert pin-striping”.
