i JUST bought a tesla cybertruck... but

oh man the day has come my friends the

day has come your boy meet Kevin as

finally finally purchased the Cyber

truck take a look at this it is complete

well at least the app says it's complete

because dang it I have some second

thoughts and and I don't I don't know

look at this it's complete no trade in

I'm going to complet I'm going to keep

my Model S I've got a WP coming for the

model S I think it's going to look

amazing pay with cash complete schedule

delivery appointment still great out but

that's Insurance complete amount due

zero it's already paid it's bought and

paid

for but I have to say I I'm I'm having a

bit of a struggle and there are two

reasons I'm having a bit of a struggle

uh number one was sort of reiterated

by what Jerry rig everything just talked

about when he said three things I hate

about my cybertruck after 13,000 miles

and he didn't mention one of the other

problems that I have with the Cyber

truck which is not the Cyber truck's

fault it's not really Tesla's fault at

all but I'll start with the second

reason first and then I'll go into the

Jerry rig everything

reason I

have a Tesla Model X that I bought in

200 17 loved it uh my dad rides my black

X now it is the seven seat version and

I'll tell you when you use the seven

seed versions you put those back you

know back couple up and you got the

bench in the middle seven you can't fit

anything in the trunk you're not fitting

a troll a stroller in there you can't do

anything and I have a lot of children

you might not know this but I have seven

kids and that that's no shame on you in

case you don't know that's okay I I'll

get to share that experience with you

here is just a really quick sort of

picture from the last couple days but

this is them all eating or getting ready

to eat at lunch that's summer on the

left she's alive she's actually coming

off that feeding tube uh today for the

first day which is uh for all day which

is really exciting our identical twin is

two over to the right anyway so I got a

lot of kids and the the model X even

with two kids is not functional like Mom

Dad two kids if you want passengers in

that third row it's just not functional

because you don't have room anymore for

a or bags or like I don't know uh you

know a cooler of beer or drinks or

whatever I don't drink anymore but that

was just sort of a long ago

thing the Cyber truck kind of solves

that because you have a big bed but you

still only have five seats in the front

and so I'm looking at this going okay

well Mom Dad two kids well I have the

model S you know that works for that if

we want to take the babies obviously

there's no way that ever going to fit

but the Cyber truck is pretty cool I'm

just trying to figure out like what do I

actually need it for I'm not going to be

Towing stuff I don't really need a truck

bed it's just it's just kind of badass

okay like I i' I've loved the Cyber

truck since they've announced it uh I I

I want one I want to wrap it uh you know

I want to like upfit it I want to do a

lot of cool things to it I'm really

excited about it because I think it's

cool and I think the kids are going to

love it and everything but then then I

came across this take a look at this

this is like a company that converts

Sprinter vans and this right here is the

front driver seat passenger seat

business style partition where they hang

a TV and then you have like this little

thing you can open and close right here

two Captain's chairs with drawers

underneath them and you know it kind of

looks like the inside of a jet

almost uh and I'll page through some of

these over here this is pretty cool uh

and I want to give you some price

comparisons here in just a moment but

you flip over to the other side you get

two more Captain shairs so you got four

Captain's chairs in the back these

almost lie down and kick out and you

could put tables out between them so

it's almost like a mobile office which

is cool because I if I ever wanted to

take you know the entire office

somewhere we could go somewhere with one

team and you can actually or one vehicle

and you can configure this in a way

where they'll put a table in the middle

and then you could kind of do like a

full round bench and make it more of

like an office setup or or in addition I

could also put latch systems on all of

these so I can put in all of my kids'

car seats and like this is kind of sick

I don't need you know the drink

container so we get rid of all that

anyway and you have storage in the back

on top of that and these are pretty tall

the Sprinter so you can stack stuff up

there but it's you know it's a

functional vehicle there's we could fit

the entire family in there plus a nanny

all the kids and the driver could be

separated from the noise so like from a

family point of view this is really

really functional now from a cost point

of view I look at my all-in cost on like

an upfitted cyber truck at about 160k so

you get the cyber Beast with taxes it's

about

$114,000 that's roughly what we paid

here let me see if I can pull up the

invoice because I know it's listed at 99

but uh yeah here look at this the total

cost cyberbeast

999 I got the wheels I got the

destination fee the car price is 105

registration license sales tax deposits

payment blah blah blah blah that's 115

266 so let's add this up for a moment

115

256 plus 8,000 for FSD because I'm

keeping the S that's

$123,000 plus wrap R's going to cost me

about four grand plus upfitting that I

want to do which is probably going to be

somewhere around another you know call

it 50k or something like that like

unplugged performance they're great

people they're wonderful there are a lot

of really cool things you could do you

could lift the truck you could put light

bars on the top on the front on the hood

you I mean there there's so many cool

things you could do uh upfitting these

uh it's it's amazing so and TBD on on

reveals for ideas like that but I mean

now all of a sudden I'm looking at a

$177,000 car and even if I don't do the

upfitting I'm still looking at a

$127,000 car and I know it's going to

depreciate Like a Rock cuz elon's you

know new models are probably just

different variants of existing vehicles

at lower prices and the the resale value

on these suckers is just going to

plummet we we know that they're re

they're so good at manufacturing that

they can manufacture a lot and the

resale value is just going to P we we

know that already okay but I'm not like

it's not like I'm going into this to

invest in it it's just it's cool I

really like it uh but then I look at the

cost of that Sprinter van and with

starlink tables starlink shout out to

Elon okay starlink tables the color I

want uh you know fit uh uh two people in

the front my entire family in the back

plus a helper uh or or maybe the older

kid up front with one adult and however

you want to do it right you have storage

for all your stuff you could use it for

for a team meeting rather than with the

cybertruck you're still only fitting

five people I really wanted the the

cybertruck when they pitched it as

Sixers vehicle as bummed that they got

rid of that little center console thing

in front you know when you when you put

when you stack all of that that cost at

177k versus this Sprinter that I showed

you the Sprinter is about

$164,000 plus tax it puts you probably

around 180 it's basically the same cost

and so then I'm like oh

okay I have FSD in the Model S

do I really need the Cyber truck is kind

of cool it's really cool like do you

just sell the model S but you know

you're going to take a big L on the

model S and you could transfer FSD but

you're still going to be out after

upfitting everything like you know 120

something K uh or maybe 100K or whatever

or do you go for something super

functional or do you just go DJ and go

for both I don't I I don't think that's

necessarily a good none of this is like

wise or like a financially Savvy but

it's like it's family it's fun but then

listen to this and and I you know me I

don't I don't have sponsors on the

channel so this matters less it's very

rare that I pitch sponsors anymore like

occasionally I'll pitch my old school

life insurance sponsorship or Weeble

sponsorship you know metkevin.com lifee

metkevin.com Weeble but I almost never

take

sponsorships and uh I I I kind of am in

a place where I'm just sort of like I I

just we just don't need sponsors

thankfully you know knock on wood uh and

uh we appreciate all of your support

obviously on the courses on building

your wealth or just watching the content

for free uh or or supporting uh the

various businesses whether you're a

stock hack client or a house hack client

or you're investing in house hack for U

the 5% yield plus upside in the company

that we're offering house.com you can

learn about that over there it's kind of

cool good way to diversify from the

stock market at alltime highs 100% of

The Upside in the company value and you

get a 5% yield pretty cool h.com read

read about the details there this video

is not a solicitation

but when you compare these and then you

hear stuff like this it is it is

interesting because I am also very

politically neutral and just listen to

what he says where I segwayed into a

rather

glorious finish the edit and sent the

video off to the brand as a preview they

and when I the video where I personally

I think the larger recall are still to

come it was at this point future the

motor does need to be swapped out but

they don't have replacements for that

just yet and we'll get ours in the

future personally I think the larger

recalls are still to come it was at this

point in the video where I segued into a

rather glorious sponsorship integration

and when I finished the edit and sent

the video off to the brand as a preview

they responded back and I quote we would

rather not be featured alongside

cybertruck content at this time which is

100% understandable and actually speaks

volume to the polarization of the

cybertruck when a well-respected brand

that you've all heard of decides not to

be featured alongside a cybertruck

because it would hurt their brand more

than help them and I don't blame them in

the slightest let's get back to the

video the first big personal issue I've

had with the Cyber truck is the

headlights if you take a look at all the

electric trucks that are out right now

all right so then he kind of goes into

discussions about uh you know how the

snow reflects uh uh and he talks about

some recall issues that they've had you

know whether it was um some of the metal

coming off the brake pedal thing you

know how he would have put two rivets

instead of one how the windows not

actually bulletproof even though they

suggested it would be like none of this

stuff really matters to me like this

loose bolt or you know backup camera not

working I'm not really worried about any

of this stuff this is just the nature of

like sort of V1 ownership of stuff

you're going to have to deal with some

of the chicken dly stuff trust me I was

like a V1 Tesla owner with uh autopilot

with uh the model X and dude I had so

many problems I mean I thought I bought

a lemon I went through hell and back

with that company and trying to trying

to like help them make it better uh but

that's that's okay you know that's just

the way it is when when you're an early

adopter but he has a good point he runs

this company called not a wheelchair and

uh he promotes this company in his

business and one of the problems that he

has and of course he talks about sort of

the frame of the truck one of the

problems he has is what happens if he

alienates his customers because he's

associated with Elon who is now so Pro

Trump and see I'm somebody who comes

across as like at least you know like I

I I seriously I I want to be so

transparent about this like I'm so in

the middle it it does not matter to me

who wins whatever happens I will cover

the news I will provide you value no

matter what

I spoiler aler I hate politics okay I

hate

it I care about what's best for

everybody watching and these

people

okay but he has a point like if you want

to be politically neutral are you now

aligning yourself with one faction by

being a cyber truck owner now of course

A lot of people are going to go well who

cares you know that's the right side to

be on anyway sure that's what 50% of

people are going to say maybe 49 51

somewhere on there but what about

everyone else so I don't know I feel

like I'm a little bit in a dilemma and I

wanted to ask you what your opinion is I

guess the options are both one the other

or neither I don't know I don't know

what the answer is so let me know what

you think uh but these are some things

that are going through my mind right now

and I do think it's very interesting

that Jerry rig everything is thinking

about potentially dumping his cyber

truck why not advertise these things

that you told us here I feel like nobody

else knows about this we'll we'll try a

little advertising in seeo

congratulations man you have done so

much people love you people look up to

you Kevin PA there financial analyst and

YouTuber meet Kevin always great to get

your take
