1. there is essentially no market for pick-up trucks outside the US.
2. the market for pick-up trucks inside the US is dominated by suburban American dads. They love trucks because they can imagine pulling up to a job site in one. We all know, even the suburban dads, that if you pull up to a job site in a Cybertruck, the guys working there are going to laugh at you. Look into your heart. You know this to be true. That's the kiss of death. (That and the fact the panel gaps are like two inches.)
- stephenitis 3y agoTrucks are great for moving furniture, bringing garden material, wood, and mulch from the store. I'm a Model Y owner and I still would not get a Cybertruck. If its too big for the Y I'll rent a Uhaul if its worth it, or borrow my friend's truck. It would be a nice upgrade for my occasional camping trip to have the outlets and truck bed space for all the gear. so far the Model Y fits everything. give me a minivan-like vehicle though...
- FredPret 3y agoWho cares - you can sustain an ultra successful vehicle just in the US. American suburban dads are an economic force on par with entire global regions. If they want cyber trucks, for any reason, TSLA will be just fine.
