Should I buy a Plaid Model S or a Triple Motor CyberTruck?

Man, they're sooo different. The CT is going to be a behemoth to drive and park in the city. It will be great for camping, recreation, towing. The Plaid S will be a sleek speed demon that has gotten a lot more refined since my 2014 P85D (still a speed demon in its own right). If you're a two-car family, I think it makes sense to have one of each. The CT would be a birch to commute in, unless you're super rural.

Tri motor CT for the win!

Plaid!

If Plaid S, then consider that the current Performance S starts at about $95,000 so the Plaid would be even more, while the TriMotor CT only starts at about $70,000. More money to consider in your decision.

*edit: Also I would think hard about whether the Plaid would be able to do everything that the Cybertruck could. And vice versa.

I never thought I would ever prefer plaid, but in this case I do!

Cybertruck based upon value. For what you’ll likely pay for a plaid S, you’ll be able to buy a Cybertruck AND a Model 3

One of these is not like the other.
One of these can drive over the other.
Pick one. I choose Cybertruck.

What are looking for? 2 totally different animals. If you can't wait go out and get an S.

Go with the S.

If you are

More Practial yet iconoclastic
Go with the CyberTruck

You can get an S now and then trade that in when the Cybertruck is available. You lose some money, but you are happy.

Just reserved a tri CT, which will hopefully be available when the lease on my MS expires. The X-factor is whether the 202X roadster would be available sooner than the CT, but I seriously doubt it. I've already had a P85D and a P100D MS. Looking to change it up with the next vehicle. For now anyways, I'm going with the CT.

Point being: if you've already had an MS before, why not change it up?

Also depends when the Plaid S comes out. If it comes out in Sept (Battery Day) and also has a 500+ mile battery + a refreshed interior perhaps....then jump on that! It will probably be at least a year but more likely 1.5 to 2 years away from a CT depending when you reserved which is just way too long to wait. The longer it takes for the S to come out, the shorter the wait for the CT.
