Why do you like the cyber truck?
- toomuchtodo 3y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37934831 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37934831 > I traded a Toyota full size pickup truck in for my first Tesla, a Model S, because Tesla needed to move units to survive. I'm looking forward to closing the loop, trading that Model S (with almost 110k miles on it after driving cross country in six years) in for my Cybertruck. It's ugly, I love it, I don't care what it costs. I don't need a fancy EV. I want an EV I can beat the shit out of (steel body, no paint issues to contend with), tow with, and has native access to the Supercharger network (I live out of a duffel bag with a starlink dish and am constantly mobile across the continental US). I also don't want to support legacy auto, who had to be dragged to the EV transition by Tesla. Mission accomplished. That is worthy of my dollars. How others spend theirs is up to them.

- Vicinity9635 3y agoI work remotely so I don't even have to go anywhere. But I definitely could with reliable Starlink in theory. I'd love to get more details on your setup. Hotels? Cafes? Or work out of a tent?

- roflyear 3y agoIt's interesting, because these heavy vehicles are really bad for the roads.
