At the time, the luxury Tesla Cybertruck cost between $81,895 (equivalent to GH¢1,318,869.02) and $101,985 (equivalent to GH¢1,642,406.21). Therefore, it was speculated that the price of Osei Kwame Despite's vehicle fell within this range.

Are Tesla cars great on bad roads?

Tesla cars are cars built on great performance and technology, they are not meant to be driven on bad roads full of potholes especially deeply muddy areas in very rural and under developed areas.

What can a tesla handle?

A Tesla can handle a very smooth highway devoid of many potholes and bumps, these are on major city highways and inner city roads, a Tesla can also handle a light gravel or slightly uneven surfaces, the technology allows the car to maneuver on these types of roads. The instant torque and traction allows the Tesla perform very quick maneuvering in these very mild road conditions. However, the tesla struggles when the road is very terrible.

In summary, the Tesla is a very great vehicle. Its greatness can be highly achieved on very good roads and it is advised for bad roads, a traditional SUV or $X$ pickup truck will be an ideal vehicle to travel on such roads.
