As an owner of multiple pickups, I don't see the cybertruck as a competing product. I certainly couldn't imagine it being a suitable replacement for any of our rigs, but it's cool in its own right. I would imagine people will buy it for what it is, if it ever sees the light of day.
- specialist 3y agoYa, quirkiness wise, Cybertruck is like the EV version of a Subaru Brat. Or maybe even a PT Cruiser. I have no idea if it'll be a successful product. Not my taste, but I'm not the target market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_BRAT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_BRAT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser But from Tesla's presentations, the Cybertruck's impact on their manufacturing, designing the machine to make the machine, has been considerable. Like a demonstration platform. Cybertruck's reduction in labor costs and part counts will be game changing. For instance, no body or paint shops, which entail 1/3rd of the production cost (IIRC). Assuming the next two passenger vehicle models follow suit, I have zero doubt Tesla will hit their 20m/year production targets. And make a brazillian dollars doing it.
- mbushey 3y agoWhy's that? I'm selling my Dodge Ram 2500 crew cab 8' bed Cummins Diesel as my CyberTruck reservation should be towards the top. I view the CyberTruck as a superior replacement for the Cummins Diesel. Then again I own a Model Y and really don't want to own another dino powered vehicle. I've replaced way to many engines and transmissions in my life. I have a 1 ton gantry in my garage that hopefully will never be used on gas/diesel powertrains again.
