RE: When Hate Goes Mainstream. What It Feels Like Driving a Tesla Today.

You're right, most people abhor change and likely always have. I remember reading stories about how people railed against electricity and automobiles when they were first introduced. People thought electricity "leaked" from the outlets and the wires and caused them harm. The CyberTruck design is as polarizing as Musk himself. I like it myself but wouldn't own one. I appreciate some of the new tech that's been integrated into it like -- steer-by-wire, and the 48V architecture. I definitely don't think it works for people who need to tow. I think they were aiming at the demographic who use the trucks for regular transportation, occasional off-roading, and light hauling. Batteries just aren't advanced enough yet to make towing with an EV feasible. The Silverado and Hummer EVs come closer but their batteries are humongous and insanely heavy. The tech will get there but I think it'll take new battery chemistry.
