So... Tesla just debuted a new thing. The Cybertruck isn't up everyones alley style wise, but it's definitely on my street.

While I couldn't justify the price from a utilitarian perspective, for the feature set there is a compelling value argument.

-Six seats with tons of leg room
-250+ mile range on an electric motor
-Decent acceleration to monstrous acceleration
-Utility of a truck
-Utility of a giant battery that can power other stuff
-bulletproof steel exoskeleton
-If consistent, 8 year warranty new
-Access to Tesla network and tech features like autopilot
-I'm guessing some really neat aftermarket styling options considering how easy it would be to vinyl wrap yourself
-Lots of neat utility options like making the bed into a camper as was teased
-Really decent towing and payload capacity
-39900 USD for the RWD version, and 49900 USD for the dual motor version.

Now, understanding I could purchase 3-4 Mirages for that price, and in a winter climate, it would be foolish to purchase a RWD unless it was hitched to something or carrying a payload all the time, but there is a decent value for someone whose needs this would satisfy, even if you couldn't drive too far somewhere remote. Heck, you could probably uber/turo with this thing and kill it with the novelty.

In someways the opposite of the value proposition of the mirage with all the electronics and fiddly bits, in others not so much; electric engine has few moving parts, and that exoskeleton is uni-body.

Anyone have any interesting thoughts?
