The cybertruck was announced in a different world, there’s no longevity to the novelty of something so “weird”. The high-like feeling of “oh my god that’s so weird I need one” eventually wears off and Tesla’s half-decade delays have let the moment slip through their fingers long ago.

The electric F150 and the Rivian are already delivering on the promise of a great electric truck. All the cybertruck has going for it now is novelty and with Musk’s cultural standing worsening day by day, it’s hard to imagine which ordinary people are going to ever buy the thing.

I agree with this mostly, but I do wish my car had stainless steel instead of paint.

Paint is the most fragile part of the car and it's dealing with that is a fact of life but it shouldn't need to be.

With more advanced manufacturing maybe someone can make stainless steel car that doesn't look like it's from a 1994 video game.
