My point is, since you fail to understand, is that people who want a big vehicle for the sake of a big vehicle (ie: People who drive trucks and rarely use the functions of a truck) are not going to buy it. It doesn't matter if its bigger than a hummer. You think because I am a Tesla fan that I am going to blindly believe that everyone is going to be a Tesla fan and believe all truck owners are going to trip over their feet to buy this vehicle because its .01% bigger. Dumb.
I want one, but: I don't buy new I don't buy first year of new models I wait for the software and hardware bugs to get worked out I want the big pimpin' but no ****ing way am I spending $100k on a car or truck in 2023 I will buy one certified refurbished with a new battery in five years or so and save 70%ish
Personally don't think either of these will become true. Too expensive for fleet vehicles and too costly to repair. I don't see the government using it either, unless it's like one in a city just to try and get police to be one of the people (like the slab police car in Houston).
Production numbers are going to be low for the foreseeable future. Its not going to be hard to fill a 100k plus a year demand. The big question is production numbers, not demand. Unless someone has an early reservation, they are not getting one in the next couple years. Debating true demand is pointless at this point. Potential customers can't try them out.
70% savings? Bro, 89% savings. Do they even sell certified? Pretty sure you have to look around on Craigslist for used Tesla's like a pervert because dealers wont touch them.
That's not what I asked. I didn't ask for numbers. I asked for the types of people that will be in the market for this car. For example, if someone asked me who the minivan market is for, I can say it's for someone with kids or a large family who likes ease of access to all rows of seating. Who is the cybertruck marketed at? You already ruled out douchebags who likes big cars - which is the #1 market I would first said... true truck bois think EVs are for soy bois.....................sooooo....i am a little confused.
ram raids, drive by shootings, driving into crowds, and bike/pedestrian accidents. i'm thinking the cybertruck has more potential to generate bad publicity for tesla.
Ain't NOBODY certifying them *****. Unless their biz model is to file bankruptcy (killing all warranties) every year then spin up a new business name.
Wait a dam minute..................Did that dam robot just take a gun from another robot and shoot that truck............it looked so effortless and smooth. I think his real ambition is this
Yeah, maybe the Cybertruck is suppose to be the halo product that pioneers new technology (which Tesla surely did with the stainless steel, suspensions, drive by wire with four wheel steering), similar to how Model S was a halo product before more mainstream model Y and 3. The $40k price announced years ago really set the wrong tone and people's expectations. Though if that's the case, Tesla really needed to stuff more batteries to make the range number really really pop. Go ahead and charge an arm and a leg for it, but it's gotta be best in class in everything. Hopefully some of this technology will trickle down to more mainstream products in the future.
I'm kind of amused by this thing, but I'll take a Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo instead, thank you very much.
