      Your uncle presses a hidden button to open an old garage door. Years of leaves and dead vines fall from the top edge, and a surprised bird darts out from its nest on the now-opaque window. As the door creaks open, the scent of stale Axe body spray floods the overgrown driveway.

      Inside, you see walls adorned with Kanye posters, Bored Ape printouts and flash drives in glass cases, and his crown jewel in the center - an original Cybertruck, still in mint condition. With a grin on his face, your uncle struts up to the masterpiece and pats it on the hood. The front bumper immediately comes loose, but he kicks it back into place before it hits the ground.

            Correct. Most didn’t survive. Of those that have, very few are in excellent condition. Of those few, almost none are all original. Those rare few are collectable now. Furthermore, it was featured prominently in a hit TV show. Rarity and notoriety will make a very, very few Cybertrucks into collectibles. It’s probably going to be a while though.
