I don’t get why Tesla is suddenly responsible for building out the charging network for everybody else?

Opening superchargers to everyone right now and making Tesla owners wait in line would be pretty dumb if you ask me. If they can get to the point that they can have excess and sell it for profit, great. But is this really where they should be spending their money right now? Building charging capacity for other manufacturers? |

Yeah, I really don’t get the position that Tesla is doing something wrong, when every other automaker is doing basically jack shit to build charging capacity.
I’d have some sympathy for the argument if there was an indication that other companies had approached Tesla, offered to invest money in the network, and Tesla said no. But as far as I know that hasn’t happened. Why aren’t we yelling at all of the other companies that aren’t negotiating deals with Tesla to have their cars use the network? |

It doesn't look any better out on the road.
But at the same time there's something "fuck traditional designs, let's drive over everything" intriguing about it. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybe...ighting-video/ |

Survey of a bunch of 200 Tesla truck fanbois. Still remotely interesting.
They managed to appeal to the market of non-truck owning, non-ev owning people who like to go camping. |

This was on Jalopnik within a day... Especially the lower picture with the integrated ramp... Pretty cool if someone made it - but at a reasonable compact size and without the Prepper/Bulletproof/Hummer-ish nonsense..
I still don't see the truck succeeding. I know one guy who has a deposit - he was laughing about it. He needs nothing f150 sized cannot fit it anywhere. I think Tesla should have started with compact sized one. Their audience is much more urban than rural. |

I never did like sharp, squared-off body lines on cars, so this current Cybertruck doesn't do it for me.
IMO, these design elements look good on cars like the Countach or Esprit, and even then that's kind of stretching it.
