Design is too polarizing and impractical
37%45 comments
“It was garbage that's why lol, sales were abysmal, just because you want something to look different doesn't mean it has to be ugly af”
“Yooooo, for the Americans (I am European)... The cybertruck isn't "too big". It is considered unsafe for public roads henceforth banned in the EU.”
“I dont understand Tesla catering to the “urban crowd”…thinking inside the box”
Disappointed because it is a great vehicle
19%23 comments
“Best car I ever owned. My three Tesla cars the S, the X and the Cybertruck are now discontinued.”
“It really is a shame, because it’s the best vehicle I have ever owned in my 40 years of driving. Understandably, the exterior is polarizing, but the functionality of it as well as the amazing features you get comparatively to other trucks, there’s simply no comparison. I think it’s funny that my 2018 cyber truck is now worth more than it was just a couple days ago.”
“6:03 yep, the Cybertruck is the only Tesla with a limo like ride quality and the stereo is %$^&*! awesome. We rented one for a week and loved it. FSD also seemed to work better with the cameras up higher.”
Tesla should make a conventional truck
16%20 comments
“Tesla needs a truck but they need a normal truck design just make it more modern and it will sale! Make something to compete with the RT1 from Riven.”
“He said if it didn’t sell well he would make a more conventional model.We need vans and trucks.”
“Just make a dam family van. Haul people and luggage at scale.”
Price is too high and under-delivered
16%20 comments
“The price and shape are impractical. Let’s hope they can keep the plaform and change the body styles to a full size SUV with 3 row seating, a van, or a stripped down truck. The windshield and tires are too large that makes the prices way too expensive to buy or maintain.”
“The phase out was inevitable, muti-year delays in production, not meeting range expectations, price increases , early manufacturing defects and styling lead to the cancelation. I want to know how much of a loss they incurred. It was an expensive test bed for the technology being used in the cybercab.”
“My question is will they still deliver the base that we're ordered at $59k or are they going to cancel those as well. Still waiting patiently for mine, reserved in December, ordered in February.”
Concerns about maintenance and spare parts
6%7 comments
“And now if you bought a Cybertruck, good luck getting parts.”
“If I owned a Cyber Truck, I'd be looking to sell it - parts will start to be hard to find. The same reason I sold my F150 Lightning when they stopped building them.”
“how will people get parts?? will they keep making parts?”
Will become a valuable collector's item
6%7 comments
“If I was still living in the US, I would definitely buy one to keep.”
“It's going to be one of the most iconic low-production consumer vehicles in vehicle history. Each one is basically already a collectible item, like a DeLorean but with good engineering.”
“It's clear to me the Roadster will be produced with the CT line and that will be shut down when all the millionaires orders are fullfiled, what a joy its been with the CB! Hopefully Elon you will keep all the tooling to bring it back some day!”
