Tesla’s Cybertruck sales lost the gas pedal. Almost literally… as sales were put on hold. Its creator, Elon Musk, may suffer from the greatest case of hubris ever contracted by a genius. The line between genius and madman cycles close and he has been alleged to have crossed it by taking on so many tasks that he can no longer do any of them well. Musk loves the moonshots but his attention seems to drift away to chase after the next bright shiny object that grabs his interest when the unfinished work gets hard on the current one. Tesla has gone from being unable to manufacture enough EV vehicles to satisfy the initial demand of those infatuated with them, to when once filled, additional demand turned out to be less than they expected it would be from the less infatuated. Color me fully un-infatuated. I see Tesla’s new truck as the ugliest tin can ever put on 4 wheels. I kept wondering when someone was going to clue Tesla designers in on the fact that they were building an EV ugly duckling but they did not want to hear it. They actually expected to mass produce a near $100,000 model…
