A new vehicle never pencils out financially, so the discussion has nothing to do with what is a good financial move.

Solar panel bed cover is retarded. Another gimmick someone that has a hard time spending all their money can purchase.

Why anyone would buy full self drive when it isn't available yet is beyond me. Also, it "locks in" the price, as if in the future technology gets more expensive, which has almost never happened. Why lock in $7k for something that doesn't exist, when in the future the working version will probably be $4k (WAG).

I like the mid-range CyberTruck since it adds more range, AWD, and more towing/power/payload for a $10k price bump.
