What does that 15minute lecture say?

It basically says that cheap work trucks make better work trucks. Like many of Doug’s opinions, he’s not wrong, he’s just missing the point. Nobody is going to buy a Tesla truck based solely on towing capacity.

He seems to be making the argument that people bought the Model 3 because it’s a “good value” and won’t do the same for the cyber truck.

No Doug, people buy a Toyota Camry because it’s a good value. They buy a Model 3 because it’s freakin cool and it’s not $80,000. The cyber truck’s value proposition is not “utilitarian vehicle” either.
