The man calls himself a Tesla Cybertruck influencer
A man has shed some light on what exactly the monthly cost of owning a Cybertruck is for him.
The Tesla trucks were a highly anticipated addition to the firm’s fleet of electric vehicles.
And now one man, who considers himself a ‘Tesla Cybertruck influencer’, has shared just how much he’s shelling out each month for the vehicle.

Jeremy Judkins claimed on social media that the truck is his fifth Tesla which he is making monthly payments on after financing the car.
In a post on Facebook, Judkins wrote: “It’s that time of the month again. I make my Cybertruck payment and y’all tell me your rent is cheaper than my car payment. Meanwhile you live in a 900 square foot apartment in Ohio.”
In another post, the influencer said: “Every month I pay $2000 towards my Tesla Cybertruck. Seeing $491.90 go to interest makes me feel sick to my stomach. My payment is only $1700, but I pay extra just to chip away at the principal balance faster.
“Good news is, the lower the principal balance gets, the less interest that accrues, so every month less and less gets wasted on interest.”
Judkins previously revealed that he had financed $100,000 to buy the Cybertruck, which he is paying back in 72 monthly installments of $1800.
However, it hasn’t all been plain sailing for the EV fanatic.
In a bid to prove how strong the truck is, Judkins threw a rock at the supposed armored glass, causing it to crack and for the stainless steel to scratch in four spots.
Uploading a photo of the incident, Judkins said: “My weekend is literally ruined. Anyone know how much this will cost to fix?”
Many people have taken to the comment section of his posts to share their own thoughts on the Cybertruck.
One user wrote: “Go find yourself a real truck dude it can’t even haul. It’s a pavement dumpster.”
Another said: “Financing an electric truck isn’t a flex. Paying cash for a McLaren is a flex.”
A third person commented: “Just have the thing drive itself right back to the dealership.”
A fourth wrote: “Bro thinks owning one of the ugliest vehicles of all time is not only a character trait but a lifestyle. Get a grip, my man.”
And a fifth user added: “I wonder if he knows for that amount he could have two cars that aren't ugly.”
