Toni, a Tesla Cybertruck owner from the US, says he expects his truck to last 40 years on the road.
Toni expressed this feeling when he found a handwritten message on his Cybertruck that read:
“If you actually cared about the environment, you would buy a car that lasts 40 years. Not a new electric car every 5 years.”
The person who left this message doubts the Cybertruck’s environmental claims, despite it being an all-electric vehicle.
However, in response, Toni says that his Cybertruck will indeed last 40 years and outlast the entire gas industry.
Tony shared his thoughts in the Tesla Cybertruck Owners group on Facebook.
He writes…
“Someone said to me, ‘If you cared about the environment, you’d buy a car that lasts 40 years.’
Exactly.
That’s why the Cybertruck’s stainless steel exoskeletons, no paint, no rust, no engine, no transmission, and drastically fewer moving parts matter.
The Cybertruck isn’t built to be replaced. It’s built to outlast the gas industry.
Funny how the people screaming the loudest about ‘the environment’ are usually the same ones defending vehicles designed to die every 8–12 years.”
Below his post, Toni also shared a photo of his stainless-steel Cybertruck and the handwritten note questioning the Cybertruck’s environmental credentials.
Given all the reliability issues we have reported about the Cybertruck, a Cybertruck that lasts 40 years in working condition would certainly be a sight to behold.
However, looking at the comments, fellow Cybertruck owners shared their belief that the truck is indeed extremely durable.
A fellow Cybertruck owner, Anton Korzh, writes…
“Yes, I really hope my Cybertruck lasts at least 30 years.”
Another Cybertruck owner, Ron Burke, says that when his time comes, he wants to be buried inside his Cybertruck.
Ron writes…
“I’m in my upper 60s. I bought a new 2025 Cybertruck. After stripping the truck of biohazards such as tires and the battery, I plan to be buried in it in a double-wide, double-long burial plot. The shell would last centuries longer than high-end caskets.”
A third Cybertruck owner, Jeff Kincaid, suggests that as long as he doesn’t get into an accident, a Cybertruck should last a lifetime.
Jeff writes…
“I have a Cybertruck, but I didn’t buy it for the environment, even though I think EVs are generally better for the environment than internal combustion vehicles.
My theory is that whatever is cheaper is also better for the environment in terms of total CO2.
A cheap, probably kind of crappy EV would probably be the best. An old ecobox would be good, and avoid a new carbon footprint from producing it.
An expensive Cybertruck should work out in the long run if you can keep from “totaling it” in an accident. I needed the utility of a pickup, and the Foundation Series gives me FSD and supercharging.
I think it will pay off for me personally in about 5 years. I also think it will be more environmentally friendly than a similarly sized truck in 5 or fewer years. If you total it in a year, a cheaper pickup would have been better.”
A fourth Cybertruck owner, Robert McLachlan, writes…
“There’s plenty of evidence that Teslas will last a long time because of their few moving parts.”
Overall, a lot of Cybertruck owners seem optimistic about how long their trucks are going to last. However, please let me know what you think in the comments.
