That makes me wonder ... what could you do with a cheap Cybertruck? Take all the panels off and remake them in something else? Maybe put a 3D printer to work and create something really unique. Sure, you'd still be stuck with a CT but a lot of the tech in that vehicle is pretty good. Could you turn it into a sand buggy? What about a flatbed truck? Maybe a repair truck with welders and other electrical equipment?

For all the insistence that "Tesla is a software company" and "Tesla's advantage is software", the Cybertruck has entirely software defined anti-slip and skid prevention loops that are utterly broken.
Which is funny, because ICE cars have solved this, again, fully electronically and with significantly less control over the drivetrain (the primary control is holding the brakes on whichever wheel is slipping and letting the diff sort it out) for decades.
My VW GTI can crawl its way across sheer ice by just holding down the gas pedal and letting the computer sort it out. A VW Passat from 2008 could do the exact same thing. Every other ICE vehicle manufacturer had this as standard functionality by like mid-2010s.
Meanwhile, you can find videos of Cybertrucks struggling to deal with an inch of slush, which is an trivial situation for electronic stability controls to handle.
There is no excuse for a fully electronic drivetrain which has perfect ability to modulate not just the speed but also the force with which it turns the wheels to be this bad. It's pathetic.
