I really think it was 2 and 3 that sank the CT. The design was always polarizing from the get go. I could even see your second point getting a pass because lets face it nobody thought it was gonna be $40K. If you did you were a fool or just got caught up in the hype. I mean like name one EV on the market today with the features that the CT has for $40K.....the answer is none. That price point was never gonna happen.

Number 3 though....OMG. Not even gonna touch number 3 but the backlash was swift and harsh. It sank the CT before it even had a chance to even get going.

It was always going to be $55k+ (after tax rebate). $40k would have cannibalized their car lineup.

HUGE dropped ball on marketing it. The production release was phoned in. They should have showed off an endless variety of wraps & customizations!!

The political backlash was nuts: switching from left to right politically (as an EV maker, although the most recent demographic data shows more equality), the salute stuff, the DOGE stuff etc.

I've never seen anything like it! I still like the truck & think it's cool, but I cancelled my reservation & have moved on. Fingers crossed for the Slate for our city car!

technically there is a market for truck/utility vehicle in the $40k range, just look at the absurd number of overpriced SUV and quad cab trucks. with a stainless body exoskeleton there is no need for a factory paint shop, which can knock off 10-20k off the price of any car and eliminate a ton of the cost of body and paint employees knocking down total cost to build. the Slate truck is using plastic panels and vinyl wraps for that very reason.

Very curious to see how well the TELOS truck sells!
 
A neighbor in my community had one. I believe "had" since I haven't seen it in a couple of months. Wonder how much he lost if he did unload it. Originally got it at the height of the craze last year.

I always wondered why truck bed campers are so expensive. For 25k you can buy a mid range camper trailer.

Nearly all of my cars have been (well) under $25k lol

He did mention that the CT's EV range was FAR better with the bed camper (over 200 miles) vs. just 100 miles when pulling a camper trailer

Meanwhile this puppy is $199:

I drove out there once. Freakiest experience ever...I almost had a panic attack once we lost sight of the road because it was hard to tell where anything was lol

That place would be fun. I've always wanted to bring a vehicle to it's max speed just to feel what it's like but there's nowhere here where it's legal to do that.

Why You Wouldn’t Want Your Studio To Sound Like An Anechoic Chamber | Production Expert

Is “neutral” and “flat” really the ideal in terms of our studios and our speakers? This question got Eli Krantzberg thinking about how our monitors are gauged, measured, and tested. After all, what good is making your room neutral, if the speakers aren’t putting out properly calibrated sound?
