We own a Tesla Model Y and are very happy with it. At the time we bought it there weren’t any great alternatives on the market that also offered the Tesla charging network. Even today the model Y is a practical family vehicle, that’s fun to drive and has a lot of storage at a reasonable price to own.

I had reserved a Cyber Truck years ago and haven’t got a message from Tesla yet. There aren’t any demo models at the dealerships to test drive, the final price is significantly higher than the initial estimates and significantly higher than the top model of a Ford Lightning which has some steep discounts right now. The Cybertruck almost costs as much as the Hummer EV which is an impressive and beautiful vehicle. There’s a lot of really good alternatives out there.

Sales may pick up once people can actually see and drive the vehicle but it may be priced out of the market. Especially the way the economy is in Canada right now.

Sure the acceleration specs are insane but if I’m buying a performance vehicle for fun to drive I’m buying a car. If I want an electric truck the lightning does the trick, is less affordable and can now use the Supercharger network which before was a dealbreaker. The charging network outside of Tesla’s is highly unreliable and inconvenient. If you want a high tech sexy truck the hummer is more attractive. Not to mention the Dodge Ram EV which is going to be the most practical (cost aside) daily use EV on the market with the range extender generator.

I can see more interest in the Tesla Roadster than the Cybertruck.
