Sooner the cyber truck is cancelled the better it would be for Tesla. The development cost would have been better spent on a crossover that would better compete with market demands. In just the second model
year, Toyota is on pace to sell 150K Grand Highlander and even more profitable Lexus TX models that are made in the USA, a vehicle to compare with these models would have been more appropriate.
Personally I love the cyber truck. I think it’s such a cool vehicle…a total novel type vehicle….but I see why it’s a flop

The mental gymnastics I see now to defend the cybertruck. Instead of coming close to Tesla initial sales estimate of 250k per year now the goal post has shifted to its selling better than the lightning and rivian so it's a success.

Might have been just clickbait, but I think I read somewhere that there is a rumor that the new Model X and the Cybertruck will be produced on the same line, so they can be more flexible with production. If true, that also makes me think the new Model X might be significantly bigger than the current model. Will be interesting to see what happens and if any of it is true.

If it was a vanity project to show "see, we can do it" with a one or two year run, I can understand the stainless panels. Actually I can't, but anyway, hopefully the engineering and advanced tech that went into it (like the steering and 48v architecture) will make it's way to future Tesla's. It will probably go down as one of the ugliest vehicles ever made, which is an achievement in itself

Anyone who brings an affordable minivan/family hauler with family friendly gadgets built in wins.
Lucids 70k station wagon/van thing that identifies as a SUV with the soul of a sports car is $20k too expensive.
