> the Cybertruck turns out to have similar performance
Cybertruck is heavier. It will have worse performance as rolling resistance and drag are your primary losses in modern cars.
> Some customers have them now.
10 employees have them and the website opens 'sometime' in 2024, with the model people are actually interested in not available until 2025.
Tesla is a no-show, and will remain a no-show until sometime next year
> because as of right now the options aren’t moving the needle.
Ford Maverick is doing wonders actually, and as a 40MPG Hybrid, it's probably got more environmental friendliness than most people realize.
Maverick launched at $20,000 as well, so it's a true mass market vehicle. Not like this $80,000 hunk of Cyberwhatever.
Even the $60,000 price is beyond the means of the typical truck buyer. $80k is absurdity.

Did you not realize that the opening event we were commenting on delivered trucks to customers? > Ford Maverick is doing wonders actually, and as a 40MPG Hybrid, it's probably got more environmental friendliness than most people realize. This isn’t a truck in the category we are talking about. The people who buy f-150,250,350s are not getting Mavericks, electric or not. I think your confusion might be around thinking that trucks are just cars with an open trunk area. If you don’t tow things, none of this will make sense to you and you should stop commenting.
