If it weren't for Musk standing to make a profit from it and Tesla's history of questionable design decisions and quality issues, I'd potentially be interested in one. I like how it looks (although my aesthetic choices are certainly not everyone's cup of tea,) and the specs are pretty impressive if they manage to deliver on them.
There's a lot of hunger out there for more EV trucks, musk fanboys will gobble up anything he is involved in, and lots of people make questionable vehicle purchases, I think it will sadly sell just fine.
I predict it will flop harder than the Segway.
Wait, should I stop expecting the Segway to finally become the next big thing??
Here's to hoping Musk tries some extreme cyber trucking on a very high and dangerous cliff somewhere too.
They were supposed to change everything. When was the last time you even saw one?
Only ones without a handle, and not branded by segway.
