Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

I wouldn't trust anything the Chinese state about their products. Chinese lie and steal.

My sister, a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, joked with me 25 years ago that in China R&D means Replicate and Duplicate.

Yep

Anyone see the CT that got hit by a SUV and it tore the CT in half? The whole bed and rear axle were ripped off of the vehicle.

Went by Tesla dealer today and lot was full including Cyber… my guess is immediate delivery available?

The article I read didn't mention what hit it other than compact sedan, but, yeah that doesn't speak well of it's construction/ruggedness if a small car can do that much damage to it. Poser truck, that's all it is.

I think it was a turd. Neat concept. Poor execution. Too high is the price.

If Ford is out selling the CT... It's bad

Pretty sure it was a Range Rover or Land Rover SUV. The article I saw just showed a quick picture of the front of the vehicle and the damage was moderate, for the damage to the CT and other vehicles it it.

So far this year, Ford is outselling it.

Read where customers were complaining about manufacturing dates were old and vehicles sitting outside for extended periods before sales. Probably not unique to Tesla.
