He’s right about a couple things

1. Cybertruck is hella late. Lapped even by other makers

2. Cybertrucks don’t look great. The videos of them driving around just don’t quite live up to the hype. If the excitement for the car will be less after launch, why launch it ?

I think they already sold them, and people are now waiting on their car.

Non trivial fractions of automaker ad spend are targeting recent buyers to feel good about their purchase.

2) They look different, great is in the eye of the beholder tho. I would still buy one if they were priced reasonably AND they've been out for a while. I never buy a 1st edition of any car. every car needs a while to work out the gotchas, and I don't like being a beta tester for a billionaire while paying him to give me a shoddy experience.
