Wonder how the cybertruck sales would have gone if tesla had done that.

(250,000 pre-orders, vs now ~5000 sales/quarter)

I don't think sales be different. Not many people are ready to drop 100k+ and wait months/years for the delivery.

I am so glad these hunks of steel and road hazards are illegal over here.

I would venture a guess that... other... things happening related to Telsa over the course of the couple of years between the announcement and when you could actually buy one had a much bigger impact on sales.

Well, I think the cybertruck was announced at least a year or two before they shipped. A month wait is one thing, but giving people literal years to think about and find flaws with your product is a really bad move.
