Hoovies Garage, the self-proclaimed "dumbest Automotive channel on YouTube," finds themselves in a rather fortunate predicament. They have managed to secure early reservations for not just one, but two Tesla Cybertrucks. Now, this might sound like a dream come true for any car enthusiast, but as they delve into the details, they begin to question whether this stroke of luck is actually a mistake.

The Cybertruck, unveiled by the enigmatic Elon Musk in 2019, initially seemed like a game-changer. Its futuristic design, reminiscent of a vehicle straight out of a dystopian movie, captured the attention of many, including the host who has a soft spot for DeLoreans. The promised performance and price seemed too good to be true, and as it turns out, they were. The current Tesla specs are undeniably impressive, but they come with a hefty price tag. A fully loaded Founders Edition Cybertruck will set you back a mind-boggling $999,900. And if you want the Cyber Beast with its jaw-dropping 2.6-second 0 to 60 acceleration, be prepared to shell out $120,000.

Despite the eye-watering prices, Hoovies Garage couldn't resist the allure of being one of the first owners of these electric behemoths. They put down a deposit for both the dual motor and tri motor versions, ensuring their spot in the queue. However, they soon discover that selling the Cybertruck within a year is strictly prohibited, with hefty penalties for those who dare to flip their prized possession. There are workarounds, like leasing or trading it back to Tesla, but the decision of what to do with the second Cybertruck remains uncertain.

Enter the 2022 rivan r1t Adventure Pack, a used electric pickup truck that caught Hoovies Garage's attention. It boasts impressive performance figures, a more traditional design, and a considerably lower price tag. Priced at $74,995, it offers a tempting alternative to the Cybertruck. The rivan's interior is a step above Tesla's minimalist approach, with luxurious materials and attention to detail. However, it does have a smaller bed size compared to its electric counterparts, which could be a drawback for some.

Hoovies Garage finds themselves torn between the allure of being early adopters of the Cybertruck and the practicality and value proposition of the rivan. The decision is not an easy one, and only time will tell which path they ultimately choose. But for now, they revel in the excitement of their early reservations and eagerly await the arrival of their electric beasts.
