    I’m surprised this isn’t just because of there being more competitors to Tesla like rivian. Tbh though I dislike cars, I just have to use them sadly.

      There aren’t any. By volume Tesla is still the biggest EV maker by far. The competition is nowhere close to catching up. If they screw up the launch of the Cybertruck, they’ll really be in trouble, though. Also, the valuation is to a large degree based on the promise of full self driving. That seems to be an increasingly distant prospect, though.

        Hasn’t the F-150 has already preemptively destroyed the Cybertruck? I suppose most people driving pickups don’t actually need a pickup’s functionality. They’re just told they need a pickup so that’s what they buy.
