There's a reason why the reverse Jim Cramer ETF was a thing.

I watched him everyday for a couple years and believed him to be a guru.

After a while I saw patterns start to emerge and I'll leave it at that.

I want to be wrong and give benefit of the doubt but don't think I am.

I saw a lot of small wins for the little guys watching the show and major fumbles and whoopsy daisys right on cue. Just in my opinion of course.

So there's a lot of footage getting circulated of the truck being tested at an off road center about an hour south of here, and it's not good. It is definitely struggling. That center, for those that aren't local, isn't exactly the Rubicon Trail. Obviously pre launch, but these are going to be release candidate test vehicles.

Someone with some off-roading experience (e.g. not me lol) talking about where they're testing with some vids of an R1T doing it as well. The length of the CT is going to be an issue for off-roading

Cybertruck will sell like crazy first year and then rest of it matters only if it is priced well. IE something like 50k-60k start and not $100k.
The CyberTruck will cost considerably more than Model S/X.
I would be shocked if its prices anywhere below $100k.
Its 7,000lbs with enormous battery, larger everything etc.

It will sell fine for few years and i can see many folks trading in Gwagons and Model X for this thing. I personally think its cool and most daring Tesla product thus far.

Nobody that buys this thing will take it off-road.
It will go over curbs at drive-ins and mall parking lots.

I think it goes without saying that Tesla must have very smart engineers that will figure this out pretty quickly.

It's not as hard as sending rockets to outer space.
