On March 1st, it was reported that Porsche dealership Porsche Orlando recently purchased a Tesla Cybertruck for $244,000 (approximately 1.75 million RMB) at an auction, far exceeding the official price of this electric pickup truck.
A user on the X forum posted: "What do you think about Porsche buying a Cybertruck at an auction this week?"
Musk responded: "Did they really do that? I have a lot of respect for Porsche's engineering, even though they're integrating electrification into their fuel technology in some aspects. When they tear it apart, they'll discover a lot of new tech."
In addition to Porsche dealerships buying Tesla Cybertrucks at high prices, even Ford Motor Company officially purchased one for research purposes.
Electric vehicle analyst Sawyer Merritt recently posted: "Ford just spent $250,000 on a Cybertruck for aftermarket research and is currently testing it at a facility near Detroit."
Musk responded: "Money well spent."
It's reported that the Tesla Cybertruck is now being delivered in North America, with prices ranging from $60,900 to $99,990 USD (approximately 435,000 to 714,000 RMB).
Porsche dealerships and Ford Motor Company, though paying well above Tesla's official prices, are finding it difficult to acquire Cybertrucks at retail due to their scarcity. Without offering additional premiums, it's unlikely for them to find sellers willing to part with their Cybertrucks.
