Yep, you wouldn't be able to get one fast enough if that was sold in the US. It's been obvious for a while that the big auto companies and dealers are delaying EV adoption as long as they can. That's why every EV that comes out looks like a shitty lego car instead of a normal looking car. Elon is a moron for lots of reasons but building the stupid cyber truck instead of something like this is up there for all time dumbass ideas.

That thing has a lower towing capacity than a Nissan Pathfinder.

I'd guess that an extremely large portion of truck owners rarely tow anything and the ones that do aren't looking for an electric vehicle. A truck with these exact specs put out by Ford or Chevy would sell out immediately in the US. This exact Chinese made truck would most likely sell out too.

the towing capacity of my 420hp 6.2L v8 yukon denali is probably gigantic. but jokes on them, I'm never taking the tow cover off of it in my entire life.

i’m not sure who the market would be for this chinese made truck regardless of specs. but I can say with certainty that they’re not going to be taking much, if any, business from the ford buyers who have supported the f-series.  i’d expect the same for chevy/gmc.  these dudes don’t like or want electric and they’re especially TSC and not purchasing something from china.

In other EV news a guy in my hood got a cyber truck and it’s the stupidest looking thing I’ve ever seen. Pictures and video don’t do justice to seeing this thing irl. It’s so lmao.

Yep, I've seen a couple here in KC the past week or so. They are just terrible and I'm still amazed anyone thought it was a good idea. Apparently they are having crap tons of issues too.

I agree with this.  I mean, show me one Chinese sticker of Calvin pissing on some other Chinese brand of vehicle.

the Tesla dealership on State Line (also my hood) has a dozen or so on the lot.  they are pretty ridiculous looking and I can’t imagine any serious person buying one.  even worse than the  looks, is the performance.

pretty on brand for elon mush.

[pissclams]

Damn I thought you were sporting the new Bronco

had it for a year and traded it in for a 24 f-150 raptor with the 37” performance package because I needed the best desert runner that $$ could buy for all of my desert racing I do 24/7/365

Saw one on my commute a couple weeks back. I think it’s easily the most efficient way to communicate that you’re an easy mark.
