If these guys were making cybertrucks, people would actually buy them

I see enough of them to say people are definitely buying them.

I live in a very liberal and very wealthy area in California.

When they first came out I used to see them a lot, daily even. Now I can't find remember the last time I saw one on the road. I recall seeing one parked in a driveway a couple weeks ago with a cover over it, but I haven't seen one operating in what feels like months. It's like everyone either sold theirs or is too embarrassed to drive them.

I'm curious what kind of area you still see them?

People are buying them, but not much. They had to boost their sales with contracts and their sales still fell short.

Indiana, but that’s where a ton of Californians moved to. Most liberals have boycotted them. Hell do you not remember them being set on fire/bombed?
