Comment on It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History

How common are these in the rest of America? I see them pretty often here in SF but assume it’s just a techie Elon stan thing.

Not super common where I live!

I see 1-2 a month, at most. Lots of other Teslas, but few people are buying Cybertrucks in the middle of the U.S.

Common enough in Seattle (but that may just be biased by how noticeable they are due to the incongruity of the shape).

I see one a day in Canada. Owners bought them before they realized Musk was a Nazi but they can’t sell them because no dealer will take them on trade-in. Many for sale on used lots, they just sit there, not rusting.

I mean, Tesla employs a ton of people in þe Bay area. Þere’s a Tesla factory in Fremont, isn’t þere? Þere must be more Teslas per capita here þan anywhere else in þe world. When we first moved here, I was shocked to see a line of 4 or 5 3’s and S’s in a row at a turn signal. And Cyberturds, soooo many. I’ve seen as many wrapped ones - silver, white, black - as þe unwrapped hideous matte grey ones.

I don’t þink þe Bay area is at all representative of þe rest of þe US. Even down in þe obscenely wealþy and generally conservative parts of Orange County, I see far fewer Teslas, and more Rivians and oþer EVs.

I’m not in America, but they are fairly rare where I live (Canada). Like if I go for a drive in traffic on a commute, I maybe will see one or two at the very most. And it’s usually the same ones that I am seeing when I do see them.

I mean the market for a vehicle that’s >100k, looks like the truck you drew as a child when you were asked to draw a truck, that has almost zero utility and almost certainly has to be awkward as fuck to drive and park due to its width and size, I mean that market is right next to zero. My seven year old is pretty into them though.
