A Leaked Tesla Report Shows the Cybertruck Had Basic Design Flaws
I have been a huge Tesla fan - we own 2 (model 3 and Y). I think Tesla perfectly executed the barn raising of a new EV car company: (1) Build a premium roadster (2) Build a premium sedan (3) Build a mid range sedan. Each step allowed them to develop expertise and attract the right customers with the right expectations at the right $$$ amount. The design of each car has been elegant: simple, but attractive.<p>The Cybertruck was a huge misstep. I imagine truck people are mostly practical - so a design out of blade runner not only creates unnecessary engineering challenges, but misses most of the market.<p>When I look at all the Rivian&#x27;s around town, I think, man, that is the truck that I expected Tesla to build. The Cybertruck is clearly at vanity project at way too early a point in Tesla&#x27;s history. An embodiment of Elon&#x27;s departure from reality.<p>Tesla - please drop the Cybertruck (and the robots, too)! And though I am no fan of mergers - maybe you should look into buying Rivian.
