I'd hardly call it "weak" with gigafactories setting new standards in efficiency, and Tesla being the only "recently" founded US carmaker making massive amounts of cars. All while they have more vertical integration than the competition.

Cybertrucks are for pioneers. If you want something super reliable, just get a "boring" Model Y. They've improved all parts of the design continuously, the cars are indistinguishable from the early ones when it comes to finish quality



> Cybertrucks are for pioneers.

Well, here in NJ at least, Cybertrucks are not for pioneers, but inevitably for wealth signaling of mostly clueless people to show they have cash to throw away.

There are of course many wealth signaling cars, but the Cybertruck is in a special noisome class all its own.


> If you want something super reliable, just get a "boring" Model Y

Not according to the many comments here about Model Y.


What's unreliable about the Model Y, other than some fit-and-finish issues? Does it have battery failures or mechanical/electronic problems?

Most MY and M3 owners I have talked to rave about their cars and have very high customer loyalty.


> Cybertrucks are for pioneers.

Pioneers in what? Old ways to get fleeced? Cars that can’t car?

Look if you wanted a tow truck princess at least an Alfa looks good.


Looks are subjective. The "narrow mustache" alfas have make the absolutely ugly for me, even though I do understand some people consider then pretty for some reason.

CB's aren't "traditionally pretty" but are objectively distinctive, IMHO cool af, futuristic like DeLoreans. Kids love em, and I love the looks of a Testarossa the same now I did when I had a model as a kid ...

Also, CB's absolutely "can car". Better than DeLoreans for sure lol

What? You think people are paying that kind of money to be beta-test a car?


Kind of? That is what how the early adopter "section" of buyers work. It's not a secret that supercars have more arbitrary faults too, and repairs aren't as available as getting your Corolla running again.

CB has a lot of experimental stuff because it's truly one of a kind of a car. Most buyers know this. Comfier and more reliable than a car made purely for showing off of course though, it's a car that truly looks like it comes from the future but that you can still daily drive by design.
