Hahaha. Let me know when you are moving. If dates line up, I don't mind driving there to piss some rednecks off.

But please... you are underestimating the truck pricing or the purchasing power of truck owners.

There are easily 5 Raptor/Raptor R combined at my son's school. Fully priced out, they can be over 150k.

And even the supposed normie F-150 or Super Duty... if they are anything above Lariat, they can be over 100k when all the nice options are added.

Most truck owners I have met, it doesn't matter whether they buy truck for work or personal, they seldom go with the barebore "starting price" truck. For owner-bought trucks that are not fleet purchases, the lowest trim I've seen is Lariat for a F150.

There is a reason why you have those decked out Platinum or King Range from Ford. There's a big market for those.

I still don’t get why people say a 100k car is a lot of money. Your fucking houses are all 1.8-2 mil for a run down shack. Less than 10%! Of your home value for a 100k car. Plus when a 3 cylinder Corolla is 60-70k, it makes everything seem like a good deal.

Everyone who can afford a single detached home should be able to , in theory, to buy a super car at 300-500k since your vehicle is the 2nd most expensive thing you own. IN THEORY.

100k is a ton of money. Cash? That could have gone into my house. Financing? That’s a ton of money every month. My $9k Toyota does the same job. lol Massive depreciating asset, vs. A roof over your head??

Yah vs a used old beater of course. But like I said theoretically it’s not that much money compared to your houses. Unless you bought your home for cheap, it’s really not that much money in the grand scheme of things in comparison to your real estate. Hell what is a mortgage per month on a 800k loan ? Like 8-9k a month ? What is a loan on a 100k car ? 1-2k a month via heloc if even that ?

It is a lot of money, most ppl in GVRD aren't living in 1m+ homes, again RS is the minority. For everyone of us on here talking about picking up a Cybertruck for shits and giggles, buying a GTI for the sake of buying a car, have a M3 sitting at home barely driven, or just owns 4 radwood cars, there's at least 5 more ppl who are renting with a kid and trying to make ends meet with family income under 100k. And I'm not even talking about manic's cousins living 8 guys in a 1bd condo either, legit families here who are trying to make it work.

Back to the Cybertruck. So they haven't actually started selling in Canada? No wonder I haven't seen any around.

So how much are they there? Saw a US one last week. Still pretty cool and still want one, but I need to see if they made any revisions yet. I wonder how it lasts in the Calgary hail.

The cybertruck will create a paradox for them that could create a black hole.

Your house doesn't depreciate by 20-30% in the span of 2-3 years

Exactly. Depending on what you buy it’s not even that bad. Just don’t cry that your Sentra with 300,000kms on it isn’t worth the 30k you paid for it.

Who cares if it depreciates. I’m depreciating every year getting older and fatter and lower sperm count.

You can buy a Ford lightning new for under 60K right now. way better buy then the cybertruck. Funny thing the older used Ford lightnings are priced around 80K.

Great way to piss away your money. Probably smarter to take your $150k+ and buy Tesla stock.
