And there has been 31% cumulative inflation since the cybertruck launched, so perhaps I should have said if it had been a $49,000 truck. But either way, it’s clearly a luxury vehicle that was disproportionately affected by interest rates.

That's taking into account farm purchases though, which have a unique shape of "a new truck at any price" in good years zeroing out profits.

I think median, agriculture-excluded would be more representative.

Granted, that's still pushed up by loaded in-town trophy trucks without a spot of mud on them.
