Someone bought the first electric hummer for 2.5 million.

But it’s for a good cause. :). Kinda cool.

Story below.

hmmmm, tunnel to towers.
I know Rush Limbaugh promoted that organization pretty often.

To me, the Cybertruck looks like someone built it in their garage with a few sheets of left-over plywood.

I don’t know. Seems like a pretty good cause to me.

A few people in the world 2.5 million is pocket change. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. I will check out the Ford truck when it becomes available.

Sure, but you get that the 2.5 million was a charity event to raise money for veterans, first responders and their families right?

I think the Ford EV 1/2 ton will do well. Not sure what the latest timeline is. Seems to me there was a supply chain glitch with the batteries.

I didn't read the article but assumed since you said was a good cause.

And first unit will be a collector's item quick.

Tesla's first Roadster, by a CA Bay Area owner, Elon's skeptic friend who loaned him the $50,000 for payroll has not put up his for sale, hence we won't know the going price.

All my GenX/GenZ kids likes the looks of the Cybertruck, but I like the looks of that Hummer.

Oh well, I'm not buying it for the looks. So far, Cybertruck has the best specs and value proposition.

BTW... I got a laugh when Raiti described the Cyber truck looks like a "door stop". :B

It’s going to be crazy fast. I think that’s supposed to be 1100 horsepower though. :).

I used to have a TR7 when I was a kid. People used to say the same thing. Door stop.

And the funniest thing of all, my wife has a reservation for a tri-motor Cybertruck. :). Should be fun. LOL. :).

Hard to say but a good marketing strategy would be to sell the expensive ones first. Just a guess but I think they will be in production before the end of the year. It’s kinda growing on me. :).

I believe that was a charity auction so the price tag is meaningless.
