They now seem to be as common as any other car in my area. I see one or more every day. I can’t imagine what would make someone want to buy one besides the “hey look I have an obnoxious new thing” effect, and that appears to be quickly diminishing.
Haven't seen many in Texas other than liberal areas.
That said, they're actually really nice, will be getting one after another gen or two.
But I don't view it as a truck, more of a modern bullet-proof[1] el camino, still keeping an ICE truck for work/play.
I actually really want one and could afford it, but the combination of abundant apparent QC issues and reports of poor/slow customer service kill the idea for me.
Once they’re out there for another couple of years and there are published statistics - and I’m able to get my hands on some used ones to see how they’ve held up - I’ll reevaluate. Until then, I’ll stick with my 25-year-old Jeep.
