It’s crazy how many Cybertrucks I see in my hometown, and I don’t live in that big of a city. They are incredibly popular. This car will be incredibly popular to. Peoples are getting bent out of shape about the “thrust” and “rocket” variants, but who cares? Those will be few and far between. For rich collectors mostly. How about just the base model? It looks wild, I’m sure it will be fun as hell to drive. They are going to sell a ton of these things.
Cybertrucks objectively missed sales expectations by a lot. The numbers are well-documented.
The Mitsubishi Outlander outsells it.
I can’t imagine a car without a steering wheel benign fun to drive. Tesla has never been known for handling and driving dynamics.
The 3 handles quite nicely, I'd compare the performance model favorably to any BMW M3.
I have never heard any serious automotive journalist come up with that sort of comparison.
Numb steering, crashy handling, that’s what the gearheads seem to say about Tesla vehicles.
They go fast but they are absolutely not at the top of the class for driving dynamics.
I’ve test driven a Model Y Performance and the steering was lighter and more numb than my basic economy car. The car goes fast but that’s all it does.
If the roadster has drive by wire like the cybertruck that’s going to be even worse.

They sell 20k of them per year. It's the opposite of popular
Did you read the post or just skim.
They ARE popular, I see 10-20 a day when I drive around. Now if you want to compare to a corolla, I don't care.

They're distinctive.
Count Corollas for a day. You can probably see 10-20 at once in some spots.
