True still thru today: Trucks priced higher than the Cybertruck sell at higher volumes than the cybertruck.
Which undermines / invalidates your point.
See: F150 Raptor: 20-25k units per year (estimate), avg price: $100k
Yeah, but those ppl want trucks, not an EV "truck"
Worst thing Musk did in context of Tesla is to alienate core demographics for EVs with his politics.
Musk's politics? It was Biden that chose Unions over Environmentalism and American manufacturing. Almost everything spiraled after that, to the point where people were unabashedly claiming the whole Nazi salute thing. Looking back, it was wrong to let the crazies have their way.
Unions and environmentalism are two orthogonal issues. I'm not sure how you tie those two together.
There isn't even a need to discuss the intent of the salute; just look at who he donated to and who he supported as candidates. The problem is that buyers who want EVs are much, much more likely to align with the opposite ideology.
You don’t think that thing was a least a homage to the Nazi salute?
