Here is my take......
the skin is low-grade 300 series stainless. most likely 302 or 304 (they just call it 300 series). bird droppings and falling leaves will leave staining just like DMC did on the delorean when they were launched with 304 and later switched to 316. Tesla is NOT using 316L which would help their forming issues and prevent some staining. (This does echo the statement, those that do not understand history are doomed to repeat it)
vehicles parked near the ocean will see more staining
Get a ding, you must replace the whole panel. there is no body shop equipped with repairing the panel. Not sure a tig torch on the rolling computer is a good idea anyway.
11K towing capacity. no clue on range at that pace, however based on the other e-truck tow testing. I will stick with my dead dino powered vehicles for now because when I tow something, it for 500+ miles, at 70+ MPH
options. the other e-truck offerings (Ford, GM, Rivian, etc) have more options to choose from than Tesla/Cybertruck. the last 4 years since the cybertruck was announced in 2019, the whole e-truck market has bloomed.
bed access. the apocalyptic moon-vehicle styling means that no-on is standing on a running board to access items in the bed. that will get old fast. unless you just want the truck as a status symbol and not a truck
back in 2019, what was originally a wow factor has fallen to a mee-too factor, and that mee-too factor will be ever present as Stelantis and other manufacturers are launching in 2024
I personally know people that put money down to get a manufacturing slot years ago. even their interest has waned with the delay
Now, drop a compound turbo diesel into a 1954 pickup truck with a built 6-speed, custom chassis, manual roll-up windows and will be interested and drool over it
