I’ll pay one thousand dollars cold hard cash for a new cybertruck

Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.

To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?

I hadn’t thought about it that much, but I might put in in the yard with that camper top thing and maybe use it for a backup electricity maybe get a rooftop solar panel I have no idea.

(Edit: I mean a cool solar panel on my house that charges the Tesla truck during the day and using the Tesla to run the washing machine and dryer at night) like a thingee to store power and have a cool camper in the driveway.. if I got a new truck for 1k I would do the other stuff lol)

You couldn't pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.

If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I'd consider takin one for free.

Strip out the batteries and motors, hook them up to some after market controllers, slap them in a classic car, and now we're cooking.

Even removing the software, you'd still have something most of the world considers not fit for the road. You'd have to replace almost all of it and at that point you're just building a new car from scratch.
