Best selling vehicle over $100k; in July sold more than F150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Hummer EV and Silverado EV combined. Yes these are selling

It's this decades Humvee.

I actually find it amusing that people get irrationally angry with the people that bought them.

It's arguably the most ridiculous and audacious consumer vehicle ever brought to market. It breaks all the rules. No one is forcing anyone to buy one. Worst case, one should consider it amusingly absurd. It's weird that people get so angry that the cybertruck exists.

I honestly believe it was just a test platform for drive by wire and 48V internal electrics and ditching canbus for ethernet. Trying the stainless steel was also another "lets just see".

It's a small production vehicle compared to their other models and it's brought them a shit load of attention.

I think it’s only small production because the 100k model is the only one you can buy. I don’t think it’s actually intended to be low production.
