  1. Yes, they will ship it in a Lexus a year from now. That's second price, not first. ;-)

  2. If you want a curvy truck with sexy eyes, buy the Rivian. It's cutesy, for sure. I like it. If it could sing, it would probably sound like Marylin Monroe in "Santa Baby". It's also cheap. Oh, wait. No, it isn't. It starts at something like 73k. Could Tesla produce a Tesla branded Leaf? Sure. Would you love its 0-60 acceleration of 7.5 seconds and a mediocre crash test rating that puts your kids at risk? Of course you would. Oh, wait... :-)

  3. OK, in which case Tesla didn't mess up the truck any more than the entire industry messes up their annual automobile show concept car presentations. Have you ever been able to buy a production car that looked anywhere close to a concept? No. Not until now that is because the Cybertruck actually looks pretty much like the concept. In other words... Tesla takes the cake even in that category. At the very, very least they have delivered on looks. ;-)

  4. I could buy expensive pieces of junk from Ford and GM and Toyota etc. for many decades. They call them "trucks". ;-)

  5. Everybody is getting paid because everybody has to pay the rent, kid. The trick on the internet is not to become a troll. I agree with the guy that Electrek hasn't managed that. It didn't start with the Cybertruck, though. I stopped reading them when they began publishing utter crap about cheap Chinese e-bikes.

  6. He is making fun of Electrek... which is not hard, really. I stopped reading Electrek when they began evangelizing e-bikes as the next mode of transportation. What bullshit. ;-)
