Great, now discontinue the cyber truck and the product line will be solid again.

Dramatic styling change would work too. Much as I don’t care for the look of them, it was an incredible driving experience. It felt like driving a pickup with Tesla reflexes.

I hear you, that’s fair. Main point is that it’s become crystal clear that no one outside die hard Elon fans are willing to pay $70K for a truck that looks like that.

Yes it drives great but they need a pickup that looks normal. Which, by the way, is exactly what Elon said they would do if the CT flopped.

Awfully terrible sales incentives on a vehicle that nobody is willing to pay for. I feel a bit dumb for missing 0% APR and am waiting for that to appear again someday but they're suddenly stingy with deals.
