It basically says that cheap work trucks make better work trucks. Like many of Doug’s opinions, he’s not wrong, he’s just missing the point. Nobody is going to buy a Tesla truck based solely on towing capacity.
He seems to be making the argument that people bought the Model 3 because it’s a “good value” and won’t do the same for the cyber truck.
No Doug, people buy a Toyota Camry because it’s a good value. They buy a Model 3 because it’s freakin cool and it’s not $80,000. The cyber truck’s value proposition is not “utilitarian vehicle” either.
