Even less, the median household income is 80k: https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/p60-28...

Was it MKBHD who made some weird claim that he spoke to a bunch of people, "most of whom thought the cyber truck was closer to $1M and were amazed to hear it was more like $100K"?

I have NEVER heard that. It makes zero sense and sounds more like the fever dream of a Teslarati: "Wow, I know the median home price in my area is $500K, and the median household income $80K, but all of a sudden there is this explosion of million dollar Teslas on the road!"

You can apparently lease a Cybertruck starting at $1000/month. That is definitely within range for someone on a 90k income, even if it is isn't the most financially smart thing you can do.

The middle class is the bourgeoisie, not the 50th percentile.
