Unpopular opinion: I think it's great that a car exists that wasn't designed by committee and says "fuck it" to sensible design principles. It'll be a commercial failure, but a collector's item in 30 years.
I would agree with you if it wasn't a design that ignored safety regulations. Current design is not even road legal in the EU due to steel panel thickness being against the maximum allowed limit.
I see people mention this a lot but I'm not sure if Tesla as a company really cares. Pickup trucks are not huge sellers outside of North America from my understanding.
And that's just pickups in general, the Cybertruck is pretty big. I'd imagine a majority of the sales would be for smaller pickups.
