^ quite a few of the 150k reservations will get cold feet? sure...but i think more will pull out only because the options aren't ready by first delivery

it's the same size as f150, i've yet to seen those struggle in drive-thrus in north america nor parkades that wasn't built for asian malls (aberdeen/crystal mall)...i have heard new condo parking stalls aren't sized for anything larger than a compact crossover so i guess ymmv

mkbhd is a massive tesla fanboy, pretty sure he'll buy it even if he doesnt need it...$$$$

explorer interceptor is 38k

f150 crew cab the vpd k9 unit uses i'm sure is way more than $40k cybertruck

i can see the existing police fleet being replaced by EV for 2030
