heh.  The Cybertruck is the Tesla I like the least of all the Tesla's.  But frankly, I would not buy any Tesla car until they work the bugs out.  I don''t think the EV's are ready yet.

FTFY

China is dominating EV production & sales while the West whines.

Frankly, everyone I know who owns a Tesla loves it (all Model 3 owners except one Model Y). That includes a friend who is an old-school car guy who, not that long ago, rebuilt his F250 engine in his driveway and does all his work on the F250 and two motorcycles. He's had the used Tesla since July and loves it.

Other friends have had one since shortly after the Model 3 came out an love it. They've been all over the map - Toyota Corolla, Prius, Tacoma; BMW; motorcycle. Husband is a car guy. They love the Tesla (but they still have the Tacoma for when they need more space, but I don't otherwise see it move very much).

The Cybertruck is a disaster. Musk is a maniac. But people seem to like the cars a lot

I'm old school: if I'm going to make a radical technology change, I want a dealer/service shop nearby.

That's all the West does.  We've forgotten how to design, build and market things.
