Business/tech conservatives fucking love them. And a lot of apathetic Americans (which is most) literally do not care about any of the Elon stuff. They just see an EV car.
Now, the only market for Cybertrucks are the douchiest rich tools. There's other cooler EV trucks if they didn't want to buy a drivable billboard.
...Actually, the only people who SHOULD want it are people with a business because it actually works pretty well as a drivable billboard.
Even without the Nazi in charge, Tesla has poor quality control. They wanted to put the biggest monitor ever in a vehicle so they chose non-automotive grade that yellows. They designed a trunk that leaks water because it never rains or something. They designed doors such that if you slam the door hard, the door card falls off. They designed a pedal and trim such that the pedal could get stuck under trim and cause unintentional acceleration. They designed a truck using an aluminum frame instead of steel. Oh and then they chose a grade of stainless steel that has more issues than the delorean. Oh, and they took out lidar sensors and somehow still think they’ll achieve level 5 self driving. Anything safety critical needs a redundancy.
There were huge rebates as well at some point.
