Have we completely forgotten about how Tesla dealerships were shot up, firebombed? Video after video showing cybertrucks vandalized with scratches and spray paint?
It may be a terrible car from a terrible program, but these events at least bear mentioning. If you saw it happening in 2025, would it have a cooling effect on your decision to purchase? Who would want the trouble?
The targeted vandalism/terrorism definitely stopped a lot of purchases.
Lots of people are still buying other Teslas.
The discussion was about the cybertruck. If vandalism specifically against cybertrucks has cooled sentiment, then a response stating that all the other Tesla models are still selling is a non sequiter.
You seem to have forgotten why those things happened. It was the Nazi salutes Elon did at an official US government event.
Well that totally justifies terrorism against people who aren't even Elon Musk
