Def a certain market/buyer for these trucks. Getting it wrapped from the get would be best.
Seems a lot of people care more about what their vehicle looks like but don't give a shit about their body (best thing they will ever own).
Of course people care about how things look. It legitimately looks like the model was designed by a pinewood derby truck. But beyond that, it's functionally a stupid vehicle. It's a truck with sloped sides, so forget about reaching over the side of the bed to get something. You'll have to walk all the way to the back of the truck. And its still an electric vehicle which requires too much god damn time to recharge with half the fucking range of a gas vehicle. [Reply]

It definitely depends on how you use it, but I find that I spend less time 'fueling' my electric car than I did my gas car. This is mostly because my car's range (~320 miles) far exceeds the distance I ever need to drive in a day (~100 miles), so I never need to stop anywhere specific for fuel, I just spend 10 seconds to plug it in when I get home in the evening and 10 seconds to unplug it before I leave.

Yeah, we're nearing 5 years with my wife's Leaf. It gets a whopping 150 miles per charge, but I'd guess we've used a public charger fewer than 5 times, and even then it was mostly just to see how far we could push the range. I didn't buy it to take road trips, so we just always charge overnight at home.
Some people do make road trips work, but I don't personally have the patience for that. [Reply]

I'm from what is considered truck country here in California. Seems flyover people just have an opinion based off what they're fed through the internet.
I'd be curious to drive this Cybertruck. I'm guessing it drives better then most vehicles. I did sit in one and it is hard to see out of so you have to rely on the Cameras. Guess that's just a learning curve. [Reply]
