I think, if it actually goes on sale, it will be a lot of "Early Adopters" who have the newest and latest trend. Like the Cybertruck. One thing about them, you don't mistake them for a different car. I went by the Mazda dealer to get some parts for my CX-5 and they had three on the lot. People look at them but everything else on the lot is rotating but the Tesla just sit there. Nobody wants them.

Another startup electric vehicle company...... I would be reluctant to buy from them, as you just don't know how long they are going to be around. I've seen too many come and go, in a short period of time....... I would like to have some confidence that I'll be able to get support/parts for my vehicle for the foreseeable future.
Nice idea, but thus far a poor implementation.

Electric vehicles are generally a parts problem. Try to get replacement battery cells for a Toyota, Ford, or GM electric car that is 5 years old. You can't find them. They've moved on to newer battery technologies and don't make the older stuff. For the lack of a single part - a battery cell, your car is dead and you have to buy a new car, even if everything else works. How many ICE vehicles are obsolete and unrepairable within 10 years?

Yeah, we do need to take care of our environment, but, the 'quick and easy' solutions rarely are..... This is a shining example of that.

Well, the folks at Slate irritated me with their ****-poor marketing. How many videos are needed to show the truck can be wrapped? Why are there videos with the frunk being filled with ice, whipped cream, and other stupid crap? Why are there no videos detailing the truck's current capabilities during development and the production goals? I canceled my order.
Meanwhile, I found a 2007 Club Cab 4x4 one owner in New Mexico that I'm closing the deal on. More to come.
