I would not be surprised if the cybertruck outsells the F150 in 3-5 years Just like the Model Y is the top selling car in the world regardless of class.
Doubt that it outsells the F150
I think this will be more possible than people think. The F150 sell about 900K/yr, a massive amount for sure.
But with the push to EVs, Gas stations adding charging stalls, increase range it will more practical even for local haulers/construction workers.
The Cyber at 300 true miles in 3-5 yrs will be enough for most F150 drivers.
Cyber will eventually ramp to 250K/yr in 2-3 yrs, and prob 500K/yr in 3-5 yrs if there is enough demand. The 900K F150 will have some volume eaten up by the Cybertruck and other truck EVs.
I bet the Cyber will follow the same demand curve as the Model Y. The same was said about the Model Y when it first came out and 3-4 yrs later is the best selling car in the world.
I just find Tesla as a much better product than ICE for most drivers. It is a life changer and you will find very few people who buy a Tesla and hate it. I hated Apple and Amazon when it first came out but once you get into their ecosystem, it just is easier and never wanting to leave. Tesla has an ecosystem that will just get bigger.
Many on here disagrees but this is my week which is what most people who have a Tesla has.
Monday - Charge overnight to 260miles (80%), lots of school stuff and drove 150miles
Tuesday - Charge overnight to 260 miles, school activities/golf range, HEB, errands and drove 120 miles
Wednesday - Didn't charge and left for work 40 miles away. Work has a level 2 charger (it cost us $1K to put in) and let with 260 miles
Thursday - More activities, sports events will drive home with about 160 miles
Friday - Will not charge and leave with 160 miles, work 100 miles away and has Level 2 Charger. Will leave work with 150 miles and will charge at home.
Work place will have high penetration of level 2 chargers. Its cheap to put in and great for employees.
So this week will drive about 650 miles (Very Typical) and charge at home about 350 miles costing me $12 with no extra loss time. The ICE option is 2 gas station trips and $60+. From a practical, time, monetary standpoint, it is a no brainer.
