Cybertruck, hummer EV, Rivian r1T are all driven by old northerners with vacation homes down here in central Florida. Essentially the truck of "I'm well off but have no personality"


Is there any truck that would show that they have a personality?



I mean that's just what I see here. All these people live in gated communities walk their corgis and stare at children at their neighborhood swimming pool.


Imagine if this was released in 2021 car price boom

Still seems to be best selling EV truck. Amazing vehicle with price to match it.


> Still seems to be best selling EV truck

Barely - and that's with 5 years' worth of reservations. I think 2025 is going to be a completely different story now that the initial surge is over and sales have dropped off a cliff.


People waiting out for cheaper model. Happened with all Tesla's. All of them were doomed. All of them became best sellers.


Sure, some people are waiting out for a cheaper model - but the sales so far have been 10% of what was expected. That's a disaster. Methinks lowering the prices aren't going to stave off the disaster. Not helping matters any is the value of used Tesla's are tanking - including the CyberTruck.
