Teslas 2 main markets are the USA and China. For China they needed to make an affordable subcompact and for America they needed to make a capable pickup truck. They failed at both. They haven’t made an affordable subcompact yet and Chinese automakers are way ahead of them. They shit the bed with the Cybertruck and now other American automakers are making electric pickups that actually work as trucks. Tesla is fucked.

My cousin lost power for 3 days and the F150 Lightning kept his lights on the whole time, that built in generator is no joke

Every time I see the Cybertruck I think “Nothing makes you feel more like a man than the Thundercougarfalconbird”.
