I’m in your boat. I’m tempted to buy a cyber truck and could probably accumulate the capital when I come up on the reservation list next year but the idea that I’m being tracked and I don’t “own” all the features in the car is really off putting to me. The ford lighting generally seems to be better in this regard but offer me the base model with longer range. I’m a big diy guy and I’m going to end up beating up a lot and I just want minimal features. For now I now I’ll stick with my 1996 K1500 6.5L diesel with 300k miles. It will probably run until I’m dead if I keep up basic maintenance.

The owning thing you talk about is it, for me. We're paying dozens of thousands of dollars for these things. They need to be serviceable, durable, and generally utilitarian. Especially with the common squeeze getting ever-tighter. The average consumer may not care and permit the EVs to take away what used to be expected... but I'm not having it.
