> demographics of people pre-ordering Cybertruck vs electric F150
The location of the people would be a bigger signal than the demographic (on income or age).
An F150 would be bought by someone who does not care about a supercharger network & probably does not live near one (& also wants to run their house off it when the power does blink off for a couple of days).
I'd bet someone who buys an F150 would also be in the market for Starlink more than a cybertruck buyer.
On the Supercharger note, I'm starting to look at Tesla as sort of competition for Shell/Exxon rather than directly to GM or Ford.
