Tesla Cybertruck orders have surpassed 1.9 million just days after CEO Elon Musk detailed that demand for the vehicle is "so off the hook, you can't even see the hook."
I’m not sure if being a fan of old sci-fi is for or against liking the cybertruck. IMHO the brilliance of the Tesla vehicles, to date, has been that they don’t try to look like futuristic vehicles as imagined by mid- to late-20th century (physical effect era) sci-fi films. Instead of looking goofy, they’re normal.
The cybertruck is a radical departure from that, and I suspect it’s going to hit a wall of interest/demand. I think there is a knee or sharp cutoff, with few people in the “don’t care either way” category. Lots of people (non-NASCAR fans) would be happy with any truck that is reliable and has the features they want because they all look like normal trucks. That casual demand wont extend to the cybertruck.
