At this point, do any companies seriously see the cybertruck as “competition”?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Doubt it. No one builds cars like this and its on purpose. Steel this thick is heavy, costs more and has no benefit at all.

It's not a genius move to make steel thick. There isn't anything special about the metal they are using ,

Yes. These selling assault rifles and inflatable dolls. Cash is limited.

Sorry, I don't see cybertrucks getting off the ground.

Nobody wants to replicate or compete against the Cybertruck directly, but it is the first production car to implement several key technologies like steer by wire a 48v low voltage system rather than traditional 12v one. Tesla has had a lot longer to develop these than the competition, but ultimately Elon's stupid design and love affair with Trump mean Tesla won't succeed commercially from these innovations.
