When Tesla unveiled its highly anticipated, all-electric pickup called the Cybertruck, it quickly took over the internet.

But not everyone is convinced the truck is worth the hype. To understand the divide, CNBC found six people who put the $100 down for the vehicle and asked what made them take the plunge.
