I think Cybertruck's mistake ultimately boils down to the bed design - it just wasn't practical enough.

Enron Musk.

These people are the lucky ones, the depositors for the roadster have been waiting for 10 years and will never get anything.

I hadn’t heard that they are officially selling in the UAE.

But I did hear that parallel imported cyber trucks to UAE was a substantial part of US sales.

Good for Australia and New Zeeland. But the ones that had dropped the deposit on a cyber truck can they really be allowed to handle their own economy?

People are and should be allowed to make bad financial choices, provided that they take on all of the consequences from it themselves, and not expect to be bailed out.

Good. There are far too many dickheads driving oversized obnoxious vehicles hostile to the public.

General Motors truck and SUV designer Karan Moorjani said “that’s what this truck should look like – a massive fist moving through the air.”

Not sure what the causal relationship is but I suspect it's a bit of both ways. Driving a big "fist" probably makes people drive more aggressively but I suspect assholes are attracted to buying them too.

Unfortunately this won't do much. There are so many Ford Rangers around that Ranger Danger is a term. And BYD seems keen to take over with the ugly shark.

I wonder whether nore stringent pedestrian safety compliance requirements may have come into play. When I first saw that thing, that was the first thought that popped into my head.

Hopefully, but seeing some the other American "trucks" hitting our pedestrians, sorry I mean hitting our roads, I wonder if anyone is really keeping that in check.
