A Ghanaian social media user has expressed amazement over the lavish lifestyle some individuals maintain despite the economic hardship in Ghana. This reaction follows the news that an unknown Ghanaian has imported the luxurious Tesla Cybertruck—reportedly the first of its kind in the country.
With a price tag that can reach $80,000 or more, the Cybertruck isn’t just costly to purchase; bringing it into Ghana adds significant costs. Ghanaian customs duties could add up to 60% of the vehicle’s original price, meaning an additional $48,000 if the car cost $80,000 initially.
For many Ghanaians, the presence of such a high-end electric vehicle amidst economic challenges is both surprising and a symbol of wealth disparity, with some online observers questioning the prioritization of luxury over practical economic needs.
