- I would choose the TRX. I don't like the styling of Crybertruck.

But my brother, a software engineer, became an investor in Tesla when he heard him explain how they developed the computer for self driving vehicles -- from scratch since there is nothing out there yet at that time.
My brother also concluded that Tesla's vault of value that they have not monetized yet is their enormous accumulated info of global driving data base.
Self driving still has way to go. This was from the past weekend:
On Saturday, a deputy responded to a collision in the 25200 block of 103rd Ave NE where a vehicle sheared a power pole in half. The deputy parked on the shoulder on the road, with his emergency lights flashing, and exited his vehicle to speak with the Fire units on scene. Approximately 30 seconds later, a Tesla in “autopilot” mode, struck the deputy's vehicle causing significant damage. Thankfully, there were no injuries from this collision. This is a great reminder that vehicles may have autopilot to assist, but it cannot be relied upon to get you safely from one destination to the next.
- My boss just got a gray TRX. Its a nice truck, sounds great and is very fast but other than that it looks like a Rebel. They are obviously different when parked next to each other but on its own it looks like any other Ram. He had a Raptor before it and at least you could tell it was a different animal looking at it.

My friends new buddy for his Charger Hellcat.
I saw one a couple of months ago that went past me in the neighborhood and I almost didn't notice it. The rear end differential is what caught my eye to take a double look. It's almost a sleeper in that it doesn't stand out much from a Rebel.

Next time just roll down your window. It is very easy to tell that way.;)mich800 wrote:

Saw my first TRX two weeks ago at the lake. I like that one, but man I REALLY like that blue. It is very tempting.
He tried to buy a white one. They would not budge over $1,300. I thought it was bland looking.
He drove from DFW, TX to Kansas to pick it up. I thought no he paid 95k then TX tax on top.
They had one near Palm Springs, CA for 120k and guaranteed they would get it.
The big downside to the TRX is it is so thirsty. You can get really good fuel economy in a hellcat if you want to. Much more difficult in the TRX. But I am guessing most that purchase the TRX will not be daily driving them.
I also think the TRX has a much nicer ride than the Raptor. Plus, that exhaust note makes it a winner in my book.
At 100k I don't think fuel economy was at the top of the list of his concerns. ;)mich800 wrote:

Just displaying it in the driveway to make the neighbours envious?:BCummins12V98 wrote:

Hold on.... I need a moment to wipe the drool off my chin and uhh....ahem....go take care of business!
I have ridden in the Challenger with four adult men on board. NEVER have I experienced anything so fast. Rubber thru five gears then let off. It was INSANE.Cummins12V98 wrote:

Pretty sure I wouldn't be caught driving around with a Hellcat sticker on the side of a car and the Cybertruck looks like it took all of 15 minutes to design the exterior.
