I was really hoping the Cyber-truck would be a homerun as I thought about eventually buying one. I might still once the price craters after the majority realizes its one big turd.
The Model X when fully loaded was once over $150k. If you're patient a CT is very likely to come down in price. As to your "turd" comment that just depends on what you want in a truck. Some people will love it and others won't even consider buying it. That is no different than many purchases we make.
It's an EV first. Truck second.
Odd to say this without pointing out that those trucks greatly surpass almost all EV trucks in towing range and have a much lower price point.
Again depends on your perspective. If someone is interested in off roading and encounters a lot of water than the CT is a truck first and EV second. I won't buy a CT but then again I won't buy any pick up truck since they don't match up with my needs. A year or two from now assuming the price comes down like it has for the Model S/X and if charging and range are improved some people will decide to purchase it. Obviously if you're into serious towing the CT is not for you. Even Elon knew it would be controversial. He was right
Tesla/Elon NEVER said that. People made that up. What Elon actually said was that the CT may not sell/not be popular, but Tesla was going to male it anyway. If it turned out to be a dud, then Tesla would pursue making a more ‘traditional’ looking pickup truck.
It's the opposite, people are setting up strawman arguments just so they can "win".

Here's what Elon characterized back in 2019:
"The CEO also previously suggested that demand for Tesla’s pickup may be less than that for the company’s flagship Model S sedan and Model X SUV combined owing to its unique design."
Tesla unveils its first electric pickup, the Cybertruck, starting at $39,900
The truck is Tesla's sixth vehicle model since the company was founded in 2003.
He was well aware that mainstream buyers might not like it and that it might end up as a very niche flop. That there were so many reservations was a surprise.
Over half the posts in this thread are just you trolling.
Instead of delivering what they said they would, they saw GM and Rivian testing 4 wheel steering. Rivian was smart enough to dump it. But not the young stupid Tesla engineers. They just plowed forward with 4 wheel steering and failed at all points.
if the price is right?
