    Aside from Tesla’s policies being outrageous…

    It’s a niche product. The people that really wanted one may have already gotten one. Smarter folks are looking for alternative products.

      Actual truck drivers are getting an F150 if they have money or a RAM if they don’t. Tech bros dipped their toe in for the cybertruck but those that were game are a small crowd and will probably get their fill before the end of the year.

      In other words there is no market

        Yeah this right here. The cyber truck is just a status symbol. Like a v6 platinum f-150 crew cab sitting in a suburban driveway with an absolutely spotless bed. But for the very small well paid tech bro market.

        My next truck will be electric because thats where the market will be in 15yrs. Electric is a good change, but it still needs to do truck things. Like move heavy crap and access lakes via what is basically the suggestion of a road. The cyber truck does neither of these tasks well.

        Is the Ford vs Ram vs Chevy really still a thing? Cost had nothing to do with getting a Ram for me. It was simply the only brand that still offered a bench seat on more than an entry level work truck.
