I like the aesthetics a lot. It recalls the DeLorean, which is one of my favorite automotive designs.

But the cost is steep when I'm more in the market for an SUV or offroading vehicle than a truck. Not to mention that the extent to which Musk and Tesla are intertwined with politics is really not an easy sell for me.

Yeah I'm another who actually likes the rough idea of the aesthetics.

A sedan built by another company with similar aesthetics without completely ignoring...well basically everything from safety to build quality, would probably be on my potential list.

Also the things are built like utter shit. The panels come unglued, they rust in the rain, the engine, suspension and steering malfunction, the trim cracks, they leak, they burst into flames, then the door handles don't work when your Cybertruck bursts into flames.

I have to assume that politics or sunk cost are the only reasons people keep these things because they are objectively awful vehicles.
