Is Cybertruck demand dwindling?

[Sjohnson20]

It’s still going to take awhile to convert gas truck buyers into EV truck buyers. There’s still a lot of people that don’t want an EV.

Remember this when you make a warranty claim.

Impact damage is never covered by warranty, regardless of brand/model of vehicle.

I'm simply pinting out that what will damage a "Ford tough" F-150 will not necessarily damage a Cybertruck. You have a LOT more leeway with the Cybertruck when it comes to rugged environments and things like hail and tree branches.

I'm not sure where you are coming from, except your perspectives always seem to be an attempt to shroud the Cybertruck with negative doom and gloom.

The bigger problem is there are not enough EV pickups that offer the value of the Cybertruck. Tesla will keep selling as many as they can make, but they won't ramp more production lines until they have the new, more efficient manufacturing line fully baked.

Elon knows there is no point in selling more volume until they have the needed manufacturing innovations in place to ensure strong margins. Because that's what allows lowering prices to stoke demand, should that be necessary with higher production volumes. He's no RJ Scaringe. There is no point in making vehicles that weaken the company's financial position.

The negative doom and gloom are the parts that aren't covered by warranty. The doom and gloom are the trucks with parts and pieces flying off because they're glued together. If the truck was so tough, then why put in the Owner's manual anything outside of using the truck as a vehicle, voids the warranty? Everything you did in your brush video just voided your warranty. I hate being negative but it's impossible when factual evidence just hits you right in the face.

You fail to acknowledge any negativity at all no matter how circumstantial the evidence proves otherwise.

Negative Nancy here...this line here, is why I believe Elon said "we shot ourselves in the foot with the cybertruck".

Haha! There are still a lot of people that don't like craft beer. That didn't prevent Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada Brewing from becoming a billionaire selling craft beer.

Ken was an amatuer brewer who wanted to brew commercially. Before he invested the money, he decided to set up a tasting table in public to see if people like his beer. He asked passerbys to sample a small cup of his beer. This was before American beer drinkers had developed a taste for the non-existant craft beer.

9 out of 10 sidewalk tasters didn't like it. One out of ten loved it. When he told his family of his plans, they advised against it (in light of the fact that 90% of the people thought his beer was awful). His family and friends told him he would be stupid to invest so much money in making a product that 90% hated. But Ken was undeterred. He told his family how many million beer drinkers there were in the US, multiplied by 10%, and said that was the size of his market. He was ecstatic that 10% of the public loved his beer, so he invested the money.

Over time a larger portion of beer drinkers developed a taste for craft beers and other craft breweries (the competition) started springing up everywhere. None of this prevented Ken from growing his production as fast as practical, and from becoming a billionaire from selling craft beer.

In other words, it doesn't matter that there are a lot of people who currently think they don't want an EV. In actual surveys, the number of people who are open to buying an EV is somewhere approaching one half of all motorists. And that number continues to grow over the years, thanks to Elon and his teams. Without Tesla there would be no vibrant EV market, EVs would be an expensive specialty market. Elon has forced legacy auto to release mainstream EVs, even if they have to sell them at a loss.

My warranty is not voided because I drove it through some brush! That's a real naive view.

All parts are covered under warranty. Impact damage is never covered under warranty.

You are not telling us anything we don't know, you are just trying to cast a cloud of negativity over the evidence showing just how tough and capable the Cybertruck really is.

You are a real negative Nancy. You said it yourself.

Why are you like that?

Same with the Model X, but it was a stepping stone to more profitable products. You think Elon is making money ditching Starships into the ocean over and over again? It's a stepping stone to more profitable products.

That's tax payer dollars he's throwing in the ocean.

I think I was born this way. I've seeked help but my therapist hasn't responded to my last call. That was 8 months ago.

But have you read the owners manual under warranty?

Actually, that's false. SpaceX is saving the government billions of dollars over the cost of a legacy space company like Boeing to provide exactly the same contract services. And Boeing is far cheaper than having NASA do it themselves, so the overall governmental savings are even more enormous.

Why do you use this forum to continually spread so many false narratives?

Are you joking?

 

[HaulingAss]

But have you read the owners manual under warranty?

Yes, and I have actual reading comprehension.

Go somewhere else to spread your false narratives, my warranty hasn't been voided.
