Considering the pickup EV has been an enormous commercial flop, only selling barely a fraction of Musk’s promised 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertrucks a year, there’s a good chance Tesla is using the mercurial CEO’s other venture to boost the numbers ahead of the end of an otherwise disastrous year.
I failed to understand why Tesla shareholders thought that it would be a success. Everything about it is stupid. Far apart from any political situation that musk cause caused.
It made out of suspect material that is obviously going to corroded and accelerated rate thus causing them to have to do financially onerous repairs, it’s a regulatory nightmare anywhere outside of the United States, it’s demonstrably not a very good truck and thus has a very limited market, and it’s unnecessarily heavy without offering any real benefits for that weight so it has terrible range. Oh and it has a tendency to get stuck in mud any deeper than one micron. What a wonderful product, why isn’t everyone getting it?
