I regret that Tesla doesn't make trucks, so i can replace my fleet with Tesla's; I'd buy 120 of them tomorrow if they made one.

Well the long range cybertruck is 62k after tax rebate, which is almost palatable and arguably better than the cheapest F150 EV's, although the looks still might cause strife where strife is not needed.

And you still have to deal with all of the quality control issues that have been plaguing the Cybertruck.

I'm not sure they Cybertruck has suffered more quality issues than any other new car and platform. The big issue for me is if I got one, it would instantly be the most noticeable vehicle in the parking lot, and possibly the most expensive. I could afford the long range version, and in many ways it is a great deal, but I can't have a more noticeable car than the CEO or CTO lol. I assume you would have the same issue if you're buying cybertrucks as fleet vehicles, where people start accusing the ceo of wasting money, even if they're technically cheaper than a comparable EV pickup

> but I can't have a more noticeable car than the CEO or CTO lol

What kind of crazy company do you work for where this is something to worry about, at all?

Also no, I don't believe most new car platforms have problems with large metal bits coming off as you drive, at frequency high enough to cause a recall.
