I think that customers very regularly buy flawed vehicles. Some of the most consistently popular SUVs and trucks are have had pretty low build quality for long stretches. Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler… It’s not like the biggest selling trucks are known for build quality. It’s Ford, GM, and Dodge we are talking about here. Hell, Tesla’s existing lineup’s build quality is a running joke, that hasn’t stopped them from selling a lot of vehicles. The article is bringing up a legitimate issue but I just don’t think it will matter for sales. The cyberbro demographic cares about panel gaps as much as the typical Escalade buyer. The electric truck market in this price range is basically just the F-150, and while we don’t know the Cybertruck’s price, I think it’s going to launch in a way that is very cognizant of the street price of the F-150 and well below the Rivian R1T.
