How common are these in the rest of America? I see them pretty often here in SF but assume it's just a techie Elon stan thing.

Not super common where I live!

I see 1-2 a month, at most. Lots of other Teslas, but few people are buying Cybertrucks in the middle of the U.S.

Common enough in Seattle (but that may just be biased by how noticeable they are due to the incongruity of the shape).

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not in America, but they are fairly rare where I live (Canada). Like if I go for a drive in traffic on a commute, I maybe will see one or two at the very most. And it's usually the same ones that I am seeing when I do see them.

I mean the market for a vehicle that's >100k, looks like the truck you drew as a child when you were asked to draw a truck, that has almost zero utility and almost certainly has to be awkward as fuck to drive and park due to its width and size, I mean that market is right next to zero. My seven year old is pretty into them though.

It's bad... But the Pontiac Aztek was a thing.

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

But the Aztek was the first crossover. Part car, part SUV. The world didn’t know they wanted it yet. Now almost every vehicle is either a truck or a CUV. I can’t see what is going to be redeemable about the CT. Maybe electric pickups will take off among the Tradies, but CT wasn’t even first there.

Didn't it get a redemption ark with Breaking Bad?
