I’d never buy a Tesla. Has nothing to do with disliking EV’s or Musk. My dislike of Tesla stems from horrible build quality, abysmal paint, and the fact that when you need any service you must go to Tesla and their prices for non warranty work is horrendous. They are not mechanics, they are simply parts swappers. Hard pass on anything Tesla.

The Cybertruck is going after the more extreme edges of those on the XM spectrum.

Tesla has always been straight up trash.
The new truck is a $59k vehicle intended for the lower middle class. This has been known for some time now. I wouldn’t own one. Can’t get past the awful looks and weight of them. And we don’t care how fast they are. They are in a different class. They are an EV ie a trans vehicle. EVs should race EVs and gas cars should race gas cars. Plus when I see a Tesla on the road you automatically think oh another POS Joe Biden supporter. 😂😂 |

Cybertruck is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
More power to you if you don't mind the awful quality on top of the horrendous looks. |

Just a genuine observation.
Cybertruck conversations in real life can either invoke joy or negativity. It's very similar to how it is online. You either hear "they are so cool" or "What a POS" and "EVs are actually worse for the environment..." I've noticed those who have achieved high levels of success in life tend to view the Cybertruck more positively. The're usually happier people in general who add positive energy to a room and are nice to be around. The "it looks like shit and can't tow" people are generally miserable and are usually a few rungs lower on the ladder. |

Conversely, is it not possible that there are a great many people who have "Achieved Success" who are convinced that they are always right as evidenced by their "success"? Perhaps that mentality confirms that the greatness of the cyber truck is proof of their good taste? Remember when the Cyber Truck was going to be faster than a Porsche, go farther than a Model S, Tow more than a Diesel Truck, and be under 50K? I do, and I think it's at least partly to blame for a lot of people's dim view of the car. |

Most of the trucks apparently averaged 1.3 miles / kWh. So a little over half what they normally get at highway speeds (2.0 to 2.4). What would a diesel pickup get towing a 4,000 lb car on a 1,000 lb (?) trailer vs. it's normal economy? Considering that this was up over a 10,000 ft-mountain, I'd say "can't tow shit anywhere meaningful" isn't accurate. |

If you tow a lot....don't buy an EV truck. But reality check, how often does anyone use a truck to tow? I live in Truck Central, TX. The answer is....much lower than you would think. Those that buy to tow, tow often. But most people use their pickup just like a roomier, lifted car and very occasionally tow, and short distances at that. And even the ones that tow often are usually just taking their boat to the lake 40-50 miles away, driving around with a landscaping trailer, bringing their UTV's out of town, etc. No one is forcing you to buy an EV truck. But don't say it can't tow anything meaningful. Much like most people's responses to EV's is to give extreme use cases (I can't road trip to Anchorage tomorrow morning if I want), same with towing. The reality is that it'd work fine for most people. And if it doesnt....just buy an ICE truck. |
