A Cybertruck owner shares his frustration following multiple failed attempts to sell his truck. After losing more than $20,000 in 2,800 miles, the owner says, “I want to cut my losses and move on, but I can't give this thing away.”
The sadder scam is that most advertisements about car are like this https://youtu.be/KIvC5wsoW2Y (literally the 1st video I found) namely :
you are alone on the road (even in a city center here!)
you are driving in gorgeous scenery (here city without any ads or trash, country side, parks, above empty bridges, etc)
you are smiling while driving
Whereas the reality is, for the vast majority of people (I'd wager 99%), you will drive bumper to bumper for hours to go from home to work then work to home in polluted cities, going through rings roads, stopping are red lights, etc.
Cars are a scam in so many ways but IMHO the worst one is the promise of pleasure while driving.
Reminds me that someone posted a 1950s "the future of travel" video, and it was all retro futuristic cars doing 200 mph on almost totally empty highways.
I get pleasure on my commute. I'm on the edge of a metro area and so is my job. I can sit in traffic for 30 minutes driving straight there or I can drive a little further out and around and drive country roads for 30 minutes. It's more distance but I love that drive.
20%? I always heard 50% lol
cars are kind of a scam

The more expensive the car the higher the percentage lost by driving off the lot, I think
