As soon as I saw the Tesla Pickup, I was completely instantly in love and saw an immediate thing of beauty. My love of it was instant and never changed. I never thought otherwise. To those of you who
cannot conveive of people like me, let this be a lesson to you that other people will buy this pickup, including, apparently, 7.7% of the people in the above poll. In comparison,
every other leaked concept of the Tesla pickup was gross and disgusting, and I hoped to God that they would never release any of them. Well, apparently, God answered my prayers.
The poll is at 7.7%. Most TMC voters are not "tough built pickup" people, because they came here to buy some fairly nice family sedans and crossovers, and even some of those people admittedly came from the Toyota Prius, which is not a pickup. The poll has
at least 7.7% of the pickup buying population expressed in it, if not far more, like closer to 40%, in terms of style. The competition looks sissy in comparison.
The current market for pickups is a brazillion pickups per year. I'll go get the numbers. ~2,374,060/year in USA. 7.7%*2,374,060/year=182,802 CyberTrucks per year, with revenue $10 Billion/year, just for Tesla, if the above TMC poll is to be used. But that's not the whole story. The above TMC poll probably doesn't represent the real market.
The whole story is this:
(Yes, it is almost two hours long.) After you watch that real quick, you'll see that the pickup market share is probably far more than 7.7% as the above poll shows. You just don't know it yet. And Tesla won't depend on you to buy it if you don't like pickups and especially if you were looking for a half-ass compliance car pickup-lite half ass wimpy nothing of a car. Tesla's pickup is a real pickup.
Their competition is scared stiff. You will see them loudly brandishing insulting cartoons and all manner of other insults of the beautiful tough Tesla pickup from now until the 2040s, and it will still be the toughest pickup on the market, unless someone else decides to step up and actually do something other than a shined turd-shaped tinfoil painted so daintily that they never want to scratch their precious weak non-Tesla pickups.
This is Tesla's market to lose. The only way they could lose it is if their competition bribes government to mandate Tesla actually build a weak pickup that cannot meet the stated specs, and worse, make it look like a shined tinfoil poop-shaped tird like all the other pickups and cars these days.
