Again, it's the answer to a ton of questions nobody asked.

Fixed that. It reminds me of a Yoga Berra quote: 'Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore because it's too crowded.'

They are sold out for a reason, just not one someone from Detroit can understand.

Do you honestly think people are clamoring for a "bulletproof" pickup truck that can also filter mustard gas? It's a status symbol for Musk sycophants and not much else IMO. It's not going to change the game in terms of how people view an electric truck.

How do you qualify this failure? I cite sales as evidence of Cybertruck's success. In one year, I predict it will outsell all other EV pickups.

I can think of a couple of reasons we are still not ready for wide adoption of EVs. Cost of course, Gas vehicles are still cheaper but that is changing. Charging network is a biggie. Our country lacks a good coast to coast network. In my area the only chargers are in the homes of EV owners. The power grid is not prepared for the massive increase in usage needed to charge. I can stop and fill up, hit the bathroom and be back on the road in 5 minutes while an EV needs at least 30 minutes to recharge before you can get back on the road. That is a big one that will overcoming. Finally with all the worry over saving the planet no one seems to be willing to discuss the graveyards needed for depleted batteries that can't go into landfills or be recycled.

I don't think Rural America is ready for EV. The national infrastructure along the interstates is coming along.

As for recycling, read this... Scrappers would love to get their hands on EV's.

Taken from a Jalopnik article. It did say that the study didn't delve into who was at fault in any accident counted.

A new stat has emerged to set Tesla bros alight on social media platforms around the world: Tesla drivers are involved in crashes more than the drivers of any other car brand, a LendingTree analysis reveals.
For its analysis, LendingTree analyzed tens of millions of insurance quotes involving 30 different automakers between the dates November 14, 2022 and November 14, 2023. That study revealed that Tesla drivers have 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers; the EV maker is followed by Ram (22.76) and Subaru (20.90)

Wow, Tesla drivers beat out Ram drivers? That's embarrassing...

Again, Tesla underestimated the idiocy of America drivers. I have been in the passenger seat watching the driver do stupid shit...

Because they were arrogant asses who marketed their cars as self driving and it's stuck in the national consciousness. They are simply reaping what they sow. The 2-3 second acceleration also gives them the idea that they can weave through traffic like maniacs and not significantly raise the odds they hit things.

Just like the Hellcat, Ferrari, Shelby, etc... Tesla isn't the first car that attracts douchebags.

It's the first one that is ostensibly not aimed at those folks that attracts them anyways. The thing isn't a sportscar or a supercar... it's just a regular ol car.

I think that TC Talks is either a Tesla fan boy or has invested in the company.

Nope, and I dislike Musk and am enjoying his financial implosion.

It's a brilliant car. The factory, built in 1/3 the time of a domestic retooling, stunned my dad (who was in the biz). Tesla as a company is quite impressive, give it's age and who they compete with.

Critics take a shot at tech that is brand new, and it's only issue is related to user error, not design failures. If you consider how few moving parts a Tesla has, and most of it's trouble can be fix with software upgrades, it's a great value.

Sandy really shows the difference between Tesla and a respected domestic EV.

The Tesla factory IS A RETOOLING of the old NUMMI plant in Fremont.
