Subject: Re: GEICO ending coverage of Tesla Cybertrucks
My prediction is that it will become the best selling truck in the world, possibly the best selling vehicle (not used for Robotaxi).

Perhaps it is my myopia, but I don't want one and it isn't because of the looks. I want a mid-sized to compact, two-passenger EV truck that can haul a 4x8 piece of drywall. -60 in ten seconds is fine with me.

Because of byzantine fuel economy regulations, you cannot buy an ICE truck like that in the United States. They are all four passenger with short boxes. And fairly big. You can't buy a small-ish truck anymore. If you read contractor/handyman forums and such, everyone is dreading the day when their 2000-ish pickup craps out because they won't be able to replace it. And if you look at what shows up at the jobsite, that's what you see for the most part. Those are the kind of trucks that get work done. There is a huge untapped demand for normal trucks.

It seems that since electric vehicles wouldn't have to meet CAFE regulations they could be any size the manufacturer likes. But thus far the EV truck models are all four passenger with short boxes, including Ford and Rivian. None, including Cybertruck, are able to accommodate a 4x8 piece of drywall with the tailgate up.

I guarantee a compact to mid-size, two-passenger EV pickup with a decent sized box and decent range would fly of the shelves.
