According to Forbes, Tesla share price fell about 6 percent following the Cybertruck debut; this caused Musk’s net worth to drop to $768 million, leaving him with $23.6 billion. |

Heh, Ford has a NORMAL functioning electric truck. If Chevy/Dodge/Ford builds a normal pickup that has an electric power train Tesla can get ****ed. |

By going completely different, they'll appeal to a DIFFERENT audience in the beginning, allowing them to showcase what their version can do. In the future, if they decide to tone it down, they'll have a reputation to go off of and perhaps have more of a chance of convincing people. So in short, this model isn't for traditional truck buyers because traditional truck buyers probably wouldn't have considered a Tesla anyway. By going so different on the look, though, you'll start to temper your concerns over time after seeing them popping up all over the place. In theory. It's a very different approach, but it does make some sense. |

How about take a page from Toyota, and build a truck that truck guys want? The new Tundras for example. They weren't in the big truck market until they burst on the scene with their redesign. Nissan, with the Titan. When that thing first came out you'd see it popping up all over construction sites. That was truck was hot when it was released. Aggressive styling, comfort, and torque is what you need to pull buyers away from the big 3. It can be done. Nissan and Toyota have demonstrated that. But that ****ing thing in the OP? It's hard to imagine any working class, truck owning man wanting that. You say they'll appeal to a different audience, but i can't imagine that thing selling enough to change anyone's mind. |

Hauling a big screen tv from the entertainment center doesn't count. For people who do its your office tools and equipment while on the road. In my case it also must transport a crew and their gear for out of town work. This Tesla thing is interesting but I wouldnt want to work out of it. My truck needs to be personalised not what a genius thinks works but what I know works. I build my bed box drawers to fit my needs. Id have to see it in person to know if I could configure it to my needs in the field. I have a good relation with our person in charge of fleet vehicles he is agreeable to my needs but Id get laughed out of the office pushing for that thing.

I'm still trying to figure out what demographic buys that.
