If Musk fulfils just 15 percent of Cybertruck preorders, it would equal the annual unit sales of Toyota. If the polarizing EV flops, Tesla could be in big trouble.

It will be a huge cause of accidents killing children based on what I've seen. Field of view seems more limited than on other SUVs and they all suck in that aspect.
I feel like this would have been a hard sell even three years ago, but now, with Elon being as polarizing as he is, it’s going to be an even harder sell. I don’t know what demographic that thing is even for, other than hardcore Musk stans.
I wonder if they might pull it off. Two of the things that people talk about most often, looks and the mismatch between “EV buyers” and “truck buyers”, were already known and ignored by the people who made preorders.
It doesn’t matter if you or I think the Cybertruck is ugly. The people who put down money either disagree or are willing to tolerate it.
The other major factor is cost, and there’s no way to put a positive spin on that. The Cybertruck is more expensive than people were told it would be. Right now, I see that as the biggest problem, at least as far as preorders are concerned.
Those weren't "preoders"; that was another Telsa lie that everyone repeated uncritically. People paid $100 dollars for reservations. That does not represent a firm commitment, nor the wherewithal, to purchase a 6-figure vehicle.
