The cyber truck is such a miss. If they had built a normal truck, but electric, they could have tapped a huge market. Instead they went super niche with the sci fi truck. I hope for Tesla's sake that Tesla have enough fanboys.
I mean, if I could make money by announcing a limited run of any product. I would definitely keep announcing them. Certainly seems easier than building out a Truck with all of the promised capabilities.
Tesla needs to fire Musk, abandon the childish and already dated Cybertruck and just build a normal truck/SUV. One that can compete with popular offerings from Rivian, Ford etc. and soon to be Porsche, RangeRover etc. And that can be easily sold globally unlike Cybertruck which has concerns from Australian regulators (and likely others) about whether it would be street legal given its unique sharp metal corners at ch…
Car manufacturers don't need to sell the same model everywhere anyway. Regional markets are large enough to absorb a full model's production.

The number of cybertruck reservations say otherwise. It’s riskier, yes, but might payoff. I wouldn’t buy a normal truck, but a cybertruck is my dream vehicle. I’d rather own that than anything else, even if money was no object. And I’m far from a Tesla fanboy.
Honest question.
What is it that makes it your dream vehicle?

Many US SUVs can not be sold globally. If they make a "normal" one, they will have the same problem. Car manufacturers don't need to sell the same model everywhere anyway. Regional markets are large enough to absorb a full model's production.
I'm not a rocket science/engineering/business genius like Musk but pretty sure having one design that may require some minor regional modifications is going to be significantly cheaper than having two completely different cars.

And 10 years later, I realize anyone else with industrial experience could have done a better job of delivering cars than Musk could.
We are giving this guy more credit than he deserves. There have been far too many layoffs at Tesla, good employees with similar vision, all because this guy was a billionaire jerk, without the billionaire title.

And maybe the self driving stuff will turn out to be useful too. Too soon to say.
Electric vehicles are coming much more slowly where I am and they cost 1.5-2x what they do in the US. So I bought a ICE car this year. But I hope one day a cybertruck will be a practical option for me.
