This is a good thing!
It will reduce the number of flippers that but the truck just to sell it for more the next day.
ain't no flippers coming for the cybertruck
Come on now, let’s not be that delusional. Doesn’t matter if you love or hate Tesla/Elon Musk, but Tesla has become a juggernaut that hard to deny. I hate their cars, but it’s seems to be the most common modern car I see on the road (by modern I just mean newish cars).
Their shoddy build quality and the rise of electric cars from old school car companies could kill them very quickly. I don't think Europe amd Asia have as much of an affinity to Tesla as America does.
It sells fairly well in Europe actually. I was in Italy this past summer and was surprised at how many Teslas I saw(not A LOT, but more than I was expecting). I looked it up and saw that it has sold over 200k in 2022 in Europe, for comparison, Tesla sold 350,000 in the US. I know it’s a bit apples to oranges (country to continent), but US just has a huge market cap for personal motor vehicle, so it’s a fair comparison imo.
I do agree with you though, that knowledge about their shobby quality is getting more widespread. So maybe cybertruck will sell like shit.
