"We’ve reported three such issues just in the past week. In one, the Cybertruck owner says that he was locked out of his truck for three weeks, unable to open the door after it got bricked for the second time.

In another story, we covered a man who says he still loves his Cybertruck despite Tesla failing to fix the issue with his truck after eight separate service visits over five months.

We’ve also reported that Tesla service technicians are awaiting upper management to issue a Cybertruck recall and refresh to address the truck's numerous issues.

A few weeks ago, we also reported about a Cybertruck owner who was left stranded in the middle of the road by his Cybertruck on four different occasions.

Tesla gave this person a brand new Cybertruck; however, the second truck also got bricked. Finally, Elon Musk had to get involved personally, instructing Tesla engineers to drill open the bricked Cybertruck to access the inside."

Since Tesla Cybertruck deliveries started nearly a year ago (wild, I know), folks on the used market have had zero clue about how they should be priced. Early on, these trucks were getting flipped for more than double their MSRP, but that quickly came down to the high $100,000 range, to the mid $100s and now there are over 300 listed for sale on Autotrader. Depending on the condition, mileage and whether or not it’s a Cyberbeast truck, the prices range from anywhere between $92,000 and $190,000. That’s still a huge variance when you consider all of these Cybertrucks are pretty much identical

The amount of aftermarket support for the Ford 7.3 Godzilla motor is pretty rad now, it seems it is gaining popularity as Swap motors and grassroots racing motors moving away from the LS platform.

I am thinking I should add some mojo to the pickup, but do I really need 700hp?

People might think you have a small dick if you don't have 700hp.

So I'm test driving the Polestar 2 and likely the Kia EV6 GT (same price) on Saturday. The wife decided the next car should be an EV, so I'm looking. I would much prefer a coupe to a crossover, but here we are at the moment.
I have a friend who loves his P2 and I've always liked the look of the EV6's.

Let us know what you think. Highly likely that my next car will be one of these. Starting to hone in on the p2 or C40 from vulvo.

any idea what year he has? There are a bunch of 2021s CPO at the local dealer, but apparently they do not have a heat pump.

Yeah, I can't get over the weird crease on the side of the Ioniq, so it's out. But the base RWD EV6:GT is only $55k (that feels weird to say). I can't see buying an EV until they are more serviceable, but I'm down for a lease that's less than my gas bill in the truck.

I've convinced myself if I can get it cheap enough, I will make room in the garage and buy myself a Stingray project.

why are you buying a car when Frita lies there unfinished
She's ready to go now. Yes, I have new carpet to install and would like to finish the dash, and I still gotta cut the stairs.

Jen wants to day trip it before we take it too far. I feel good about it, but I get it. I've touched A LOT since the last time she's been out.

The transmission is the next thing, I think. Before the AC and batteries.

All you really need is Z51, anything else is nice on top of that, but the non-Z51 C8s are the old-people ones that don't hold on the track.

That was my C5. Z51 and pretty much nothing else. I think it's funny that it's even an option, but the old guys don't like the harsh ride.
