Tesla’s Cybertruck was a hotly anticipated release

Before the EV truck’s release, the Tesla brand was already well-known for its fleet of cars.

It even launched a Roadster into space, where an amateur astronomer spotted it, causing panic.

Plus, the Model Y managed to show off its off-roading ability alongside a Jeep, going viral.

But the Cybertruck hasn’t always been received quite as well as other models that Tesla has produced.

This owner revealed how much his Cybertruck actually cost him

After eight months of driving the EV, YouTuber Flying Wheels told all on how much of a hit he took after buying the truck.

And, thanks to Tesla implementing a deal, he actually made a loss.

You see, he bought the vehicle for the sum of $106,000 – which he says was ‘non-negotiable’.

Just a year later Tesla has made the Cybertruck eligible for Federal Tax Credit, meaning that buyers can receive a deal of $7,500 off their new purchase, all because the actual price dropped to below $80,000.

So, he claims he lost $23,000 – but luckily, by snapping the vehicle up and making videos about it, he managed to make additional money back, with a total profit of $19,621.

What features does the EV have?

The Cybertruck can fit five passengers and can tackle a whole load of different terrains.

It also has 360-degree acoustic glass which provides a soundproofed cabin and UV ray rejection.

Plus, it even has a supervised full-self driving mode for those who simply fancy taking a backseat.

Overall, the Cybertruck is an ideal buy for some, but lost this driver some cash.
