I just got my "configure your Cybertruck" email. Unfortunately, I have an outdoor parking spot in a rented apartment and running power to charge there would be difficult/impossible. Yet, I would like a cybertruck.

I am going to try to buy a house in 2024-2026 so I can have a charging spot/garage so I can buy the EV, although not in a huge rush given the local real estate market (Puerto Rico), hassle of moving, etc (and relatively few miles/yr on my present car, although it's a 2006 and gets about 10-12mpg).

I wonder how many people are in similar situations. A PHEV would actually be the optimal new vehicle for me -- no need to charge, exempt from 40% import duty, and highly efficient in stop and go traffic -- but I want the Tesla. (I've also never owned a new vehicle, and kind of enjoy owning an old/cheap enough truck that if anything happened to it I'd be relatively unconcerned.)
