  > “He launched Cybertruck into the teeth of the hardest segment to crack.” I don't know who his market is outside of Tesla Bro's. Did he think the guy driving an F150 or Ram 1500 would buy this? I haven't seen a single construction guy working out of one of these. Why would a trade use it? They don't off road well, and they are big and clumsy for the inner city. What a waste of time and resources. could have made a 25k commuter car and possibly sold millions. Too late for that now. China will drive him out of business without Gov protection...

  It looks like a cheap prop for a Hollywood sci-fi movie --- with quality and usability to match. It simply can't do what a truck is expected to do. It boldly goes where the typical US truck buyer doesn't want to go. Driving one makes an equally bold statement --- I'm an Elon fanboy with more money than sense --- and proud of it.

  Deliveries have been suspended. The production rate is throttled down. If production is halted for more than a couple of weeks. I bet it will never start up again.
