That was only because there were no other truck alternatives when they first showed the cyber truck. I still think they'll sell a ton of them, but their sales will be greatly diminished by Rivian, Lightning, and Silverado EV.It still has millions of pre-orders.
Truck demand is infinite. Sales won't be diminished by anything. Everyone who makes a decent EV will sell everything they can produce.That was only because there were no other truck alternatives when they first showed the cyber truck.

Nobody is having trouble with their 80k EV,
So, will truck buyers shy away because of the infinite, instantaneous torque? The unlimited horsepower? The best in class payload? The best-in-market ground clearance?
This is a ridiculous statement. Sales of all vehicles from all companies are about 100% right now because there simply aren't enough vehicles. There is definitely a limit to what people need and will purchase.Truck demand is infinite. Sales won't be diminished by anything.

EVs are years maybe a decade or more away from being viable. The vast majority of consumers don’t want them. That’s why they need government subsidiesSo, will truck buyers shy away because of the infinite, instantaneous torque? The unlimited horsepower? The best in class payload?

What will be their hangup?

Tesla is raising prices at will, just because they can, and subsidies don't do much to help.EVs are years maybe a decade or more away from being viable. The vast majority of consumers don’t want them. That’s why they need government subsidies
Again, a ridiculous statement. I'm not a EV hater at all. I would seriously consider one as my next vehicle, but if Tesla and every other manufacturer all of a sudden could produce 20 times their current amount, they'd all have vehicles sitting on their lots for years.*There is no limit to high-performance EV sales.

*Not including small niche builders. Anyone who makes, say, 30 per year could probably sell 20 times that much.
So, in the impossible situation you listed, they wouldn't sell everything.Again, a ridiculous statement. I'm not a EV hater at all.

Everyone in the entire world who makes one has sold every single one of them, and they'll continue selling everything they can produce until it's the entire market. They're just that much better.
Scarcity doesn't drive demand or price in the absence of quality and desirability.Scarcity is driving demand and price. Like worthless diamonds.
Get back to me when you find an unsold Tesla in the next decade.
You made an impossible statement, I gave an impossible situation. Eventually ICE cars and light trucks will be non-existent, that much, I agree. I don't think it will be all that soon, but eventually we will get there. When we do and the supply chain issues of today's COVID era are over manufacturers will be pumping out as many vehicles as they did a few years ago. And just like those companies in 2019, they will have surpluses on their lots. It will be a long time until EV quantities can be made to make up for their current demand, but a time will come when there will be excess vehicles sitting on dealer lots. I love EVs, you're just a little too optimistic for me.The point is clearly that all makers of good EVs will sell everything they can produce.
Which class are you comparing it to? Half ton trucks? For much less than the Tesla costs you can get a Ford one ton with twice the payload. With 21,000 lbs of towing.So, will truck buyers shy away because of the infinite, instantaneous torque? The unlimited horsepower? The best in class payload? The best-in-market ground clearance?
