Cybertruck starts deliveries

Trying to work out the thinking behind it. Like when I used to wonder why people would post articles/pictures etc. that were clearly incorrect, misleading or just really bad. It is because bad and controversial gets way more coverage than anything actually truthful, logical or sensible.

This pickup is the automotive version of basic clickbait.

Oh the Cybertruck is clickbait at it's finest, If Tesla had come out with what would be considered a normal design, it would not have gained anywhere near the same interest.

There are a lot of good things about the Cybertruck though, and I am sure it will go down as a design classic.

Only Americans are stupid enough to buy something like that

That is actually not true. There are pre-orders from around the world. The Cybertruck has gained huge interest, as can be seen by over 1 million pre-orders,

Fair enough if true. You got a link for those stats?

There are no official numbers. But there are sites tracking pre- orders, and they have the number well over 1 million.
