very happy with this.
From what I've observed of US garages, fewer than 10% actually use them for cars, most are filled with junk.
Of the few that actually put cars in there, they are just for
cars. I don't think I have ever seen someone park a pickup in their garage.
It's a truck, its supposed to be on the driveway or field or something.
Let's be real. The cybertruck is still going to miss the pickup market by a country mile. I'm not saying people won't buy them; they will (and I will). But it's not going to take pickup marketshare in a meaningful way, until the design is changed to better address the market.
Being in TX will be good for Tesla. They'll learn more about their market, and their TX employees will educate Californians about what middle-America pickup consumers want.
I think this is missing the point about the truck market just like observers ten years ago regarding electric sedans.
At that time the market was saying nobody wanted a premium fast electric sedan - now look where it is, with the old market leaders playing catchup. Tesla redefined the market and left the others behind.
Right now the market is saying people just want big fake manly trucks with a huge front grill and unneeded bulges and pointless "brush guard", Ford and GM right now still think it's just about having an electric powertrain to replace the ICE.
The last thing Tesla needs to do is redesign the Cybertruck to match the current market. They're aiming to change the market.
