I'm still mourning the speculated concepts that were floating around prior to the official announce, when it was going to look like this:
Looks like an Isuzu VehiCross!
Then the reveal came and I was aghast. But in denial and disbelief I still put a deposit down anyway lol.
Because imo you're right: despite what it looks like, and what one might think about the CEO, Tesla has nailed it with the supercharger network and core EV tech. Non-Tesla EV ownership is like "well it's pretty annoying it isn't as good at actually being an EV as a Tesla, but I will accept that because X Y and Z."
Tbh if the Cybertruck had ended up looking like the above, I probably would've gotten that instead of the Rivian. It's too bad lol. That's a good size too: it's like Maverick sized, and look how well those are selling. People really just want an inexpensive off-road capable crossover with some DGAF space in the back. Throw in a GMC-style passthrough folding mid-gate, and you solve the bed length problem too.
Also it's way late, probably just solely because it was hard to manufacture the stupid cold-rolled stainless steel allegedly-exoskeleton that
nobody asked for. Damn it why!!
