Did he get it because he saw your model?
I broached the subject by asking my dad if he had watched the reveal, which he had only caught pieces of it from network news (he still gets a newspaper). Then my brolaw asked me what I thought of it, and I mentioned that my initial impression was that it was hideous and ridiculous (hideculous?), but that the appearance is growing on me. At that point he mentioned his $100 deposit, and then I showed my paper model. I brought it along just to ask people what they thought of the aesthetics.

Early Model S prices are finally coming down... I would hope a used Cybertruck would be about half price after 6 years just like normal vehicles. Probably looking at the better part of a decade before I owned one. More likely I'll purchase something new that still has the full federal tax credit available.

The RAV4 Prime sounds like a winner to me (although I don't want another hybrid).
