Those "pieces of junk" are probably going to end up being the most popular truck in history. Can you even classify it as a truck?

Yeah, the Cyber truck is going to be one of those head scratchers, kind of like how people love to drink rotting liquid that tastes like rotting liquid, even though it destroys their liver, brain, and ability to think straight

I didn't say it's not going to be popular I'm just saying I don't get it...or should I say, I don't feel it yet. I'm sure when my brother in law gets his and I drive it I may actually like it

I'd guess 1.4M.

I don't think "worshiping Elon" has anything to do with the numbers.

I think Ford or Chevy may disagree.

That it's even a truck, or that it will be a popular truck?

You said it would be "the most popular truck in history".

It has 1.6 Million pre-orders...that doesn't even count the "post" orders, Tesla will be filling backorders for the next few years. Maybe not in history, but it's going to be popular. I still think it's ugly

Oh, lol. I'm not really either.

I still remember both the "bulletproof" windows broke at that "reveal".

Oh yeah, I remember 🤣. I'm sure someone got fired that day.

On another note, as someone who has a lot invested in Tesla, I hope it does well. And I'm sure it will, I know a lot of people personally who have orders in and are patiently waiting for the release of that monstrosity

Cybertruck is likely the most radical vehicle ever made in the modern era.
