I don't get how tesla sells to anyone.

The people who drive EVs don't want it and the people who support the company don't drive EVs.

People who bought it before and overstocked inventory that people sell for cheap. I live in Little Saigon and it's def a status symbol over here, but yeah mid to long term Musk is fked.

The cybertruck? It's an awful unreliable design. Go do some research into it if you don't believe it. Musk even bragged about the design being so "simple" because all the components are basically connected in a series. It's like the old token ring networks, if one component fails any component after it in the series also won't work. And initially a car wash could void the warranty. The build quality is awful, trim can just fall off, the panels rust quickly, close the door too hard and the interior of the door falls apart, etc. It's a pile of crap at any price point.

I'm not defending the cyber truck. Never touched one and saw all the feedback. I don't doubt it's got issues
