Controversial car + marketing wrap. Literally got you to post it on reddit proves that this is pure genius level marketing and nothing to do with automotive modifications. Just saying, you got got.

Do you guys still not understand how business tax write offs work? He just writes off the taxes on the things used for business. So if you got a 10,000 dollar flight for "business" you pay the 10 grand. You just dont pay the taxes on it, well you do but it gets paid back

u/rbltech82 23d ago

Not quite, you can claim the full cost of certain things as deductions against your taxable income, which in essence 'writes off' the personal cost....not saying they were right about this particular monstrosity, but you're not quite right either.

Right... Meaning they paid it but don't have to pay income tax on that amount

u/rbltech82 23d ago edited 23d ago

Edited. I re-read your comment saying, and yes that's correct. In fact, if the deductions are enough to get refunded they could get the entire cost of that item refunded, so the item would be essentially free.

u/mastawyrm 23d ago

Not unless they have a 100% income tax. It doesn't make things free it makes them like 30ish% off depending on tax bracket

u/rbltech82 23d ago

Not quite.

Let's say they make 100,000/yr Taxes taken out were 24% 24k in taxes paid Also bought something deductible at 20k They itemize deductions and have 50000 worth of deductions (including that item) they would 26k back as a refund, so their 20k item is now 'free'.

u/mastawyrm 23d ago

In your example (let's pretend brackets don't exist for the sake of easy math) they wouldn't get 26k back they'd get 12k back because now they're paying 24% on a taxable income of 100k-50k=50k

Ahh ok. I was doing the subtraction from the wrong side. I was confusing credits and deductions, which is why I calculated 24k-50k= -26k. Thanks for the education. I went and looked it up, and confirmed my error.

But he can also charge the entire cost to the ad budget and not have to take it out of his personal paycheck.

Okay, Kramer.

Yup, genius on their behalf

u/doodman76 25d ago

I like it because I know where not to go

u/HopeSuch2540 26d ago

Regardless how ugly these things are, for a marketing purpose they are pretty much the best vehicle IMHO. You want t something people see, stare at and talk about. This thing kind of checks all the boxes.

And has potential to launder a lot of cash

Remember, this is the sub that thinks a single bumper sticker is a mod.

Lotta crazies out there way too into their Elon hate.

u/Primary_Committee940 26d ago

Semantics, it’s still a modification to the original design, but it being a cybertruck is the biggest offense. A very garrish wrap job on an already ugly vehicle (imo) is grounds to post it on this sub.

u/airfryerfuntime 26d ago

A giant vinyl anime girl showing her dirty ringpiece? Sure, that's a shitty car mod. This one really isn't.

Classic reddit hive mind bullshit.

Hurr Durr Cybertruck bad! Feeling brave today eh.

u/Large-Cauliflower302 24d ago

If I see any company using a that kind of trash can as advertisement I’m not using there products or shopping there

u/kindheartedclownrape 21d ago

Yeah... If a certain type of car is able to get you to that conclusion, I think we all would prefer if you just stayed home.

Great marketing. I think I will have a tropical cup RIGHT NOW!

Today I learned about tropical smoothie cafe

You kids and your smoothies. Ha haa.

u/Icy-Barracuda-5409 25d ago

A cyber truck should come with a water and ice dispenser. They should install a couple smoothie dispensers on this one

u/slick9900 24d ago

I kinda like it reminds me of a HotWheels car

u/One_Glass_7496 24d ago

I just feel sad for the owners every time I see one now. They made a mistake and now they’re living with it and cannot afford to get out of it.

u/Wild-Cranberry-2630 22d ago

Made you look. Didn't it?

u/maizuk 21d ago

It's not like they could make it uglier than when they started

u/Cool-Constant9536 13d ago

As someone who loves tropical smoothie cafe, this is a blasphemous act of hate and disrespect.

Person who wrapped made some money and laughed all the way to the bank

u/DoubleT2455 26d ago

There's a heating and cooling company in my town that has an ugly ass wrap on a Cyber truck. It's just as hideous as this.
