    That is the real take away. They have a large waitlist but can’t seem to build them.

      I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. They have a large waitlist and are early in iteration on this product.

      I’d bet they have hardware recalls for the next 18 months that taper off as they ramp up. The amount of new engineering that went in the cybertruck is insane compared to any other vehicle in their lineup.

      This is why you see all of the legacy automakers having problems making EVs, having tons of recalls, and pulling back. New technology is hard to mass produce until you work out all the kinks in the design and workflow.

      I wouldn’t by a CT because I don’t like the aesthetics; but, if I did, I wouldn’t buy one for at least 3 years from now. Same reason I won’t buy a Rivian R1S. They aren’t at the point the recalls are down to manageable. Rivian may be good in another year or 2. The ford EV line… seems like them pulling back means they won’t have a decent EV track record for at least a decade, if they’re still around then.

        Most people on lemmy just want buzzwords, catch phrases and group think. Most Tesla recalls are ota. The pedal is concerning because if it does get stuck, it’s hard to just turn the car off.
