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

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.
