I'd easily make the bet that the Cybertruck will be a giant, enormous flop. Sure, there will be plenty of early demand from the "I have the first one on my block" crowd, but I've heard numerous, numerous reviews about how the design, from the flat metal panels to the visibility, is a practical disaster.

I am genuinely open to "convince me otherwise" opinions. E.g. if there was a buyer looking at, say, a Rivian or F150 Lightning, is there anything beyond just the pure novelty that would tip them to the Cybertruck? I just haven't found basically any reviews that don't think there are numerous problems with the design.




A lot of people used to rave about the look and design of Tesla vehicles.

That seemed to stop once the Cybertruck was unveiled.

I think a lot of people thought it was a joke, and then slowly people realized Tesla was serious about making a vehicle that looks like some graphics from the 1990s that never finished rendering.


The CT will likely be a bit cheaper than the Rivian or Lightning. Beyond that, probably the same reasons why more people buy Model Ys instead of Mach-Es.
