At that price I'd be horrified to. Even a Raptor is too rich for my blood

I feel a bit better with my $30,000 base-ish truck.

I come from a background where we rarely paid more than $10,000 for a vehicle. Almost had a heart attack when i bought this truck and was scared to off-road it the first time. Then i went and buried it in the sand.

The most I ever paid for a car was our 2013 Sienna, $28k OTD. I was pretty horrified by that. After COVID and all the price hikes, that all changed. Now the most expensive car I ever bought was our 2023 Model Y, $57K OTD . Luckily, I paid for it on money I made from TSLA I sold, so it wasn't so bad

Couldn't have been that hard. Lift kit on the Cybertruck has been done already.

https://unpluggedperformance.com/pro...inch-lift-kit/

The UP INVINCIBLE® 2.5-inch Tesla Cynertruck Lift Kit is a robust and comprehensive solution to getting the most out of your Cybertruck’s capabilities while retaining optimized suspension geometry, with no risk of topping out the air shocks and allowing for correct camber, caster, and toe alignments. The Tesla Cybertruck’s air suspension functionality remains intact. Heavy-duty 5-Axis CnC 6061 billet machined suspension components are Baja-ready and are highly adjustable for advanced alignment options.
  • 2.5” lift means up to 19.5 inches of ground clearance
  • Improves approach, break-over, and departure angle
  • Uprated bushings and joints
  • 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum Construction
  • 5-Axis CnC manufacturing
  • Robust 26-piece kit includes everything needed
  • Retains full functionality of the factory air suspension
  • Note: This lift kit may reduce range at highway speeds

Tesla is now offering color change wraps from the factory for the Cybertruck…

We saw one on the road the other day and my son goes “you know, they rot”. We were trying to figure out what he meant, he meant they RUST. Even the 9 year olds are talking about rusting Cybertrucks lol

actually, Cybertruck is probably easiest vehicle to wrap. It has very straight panels, it can not be any easier. Literally every other vehicle on the road is harder to wrap.
