I think EV has to make it to the this class for it to be successful, yes. They can't remain as Type X/Y forever if it has any chance of phasing out ICE.
At ~$60k (dual motor) It would have to be my DD but its made entirely of Stainless Steel, so its meant to take damage and get scuffed up. There will be a period in which it will probably have a nice wrap, but knowing me I'll get tired of it soon and want to go overlanding in it. The suspension, and lack of parts as Tesla is sadly known for, is what really strikes me as the big unknown as the chassis/sheet metal is way more stout than anything Mitsubishi has ever made for non-military purposes.
i played with my Monteros everywhere from Big Bear, Joshua Tree and Big Sur in California, I've treked them across UT and AZ in 120+F heat a few times and drove through the avalanches of 2019 in 3 feet of snow in CO and made the mountains at 10k+ elevation in Colorado my playground. All of them had the battle scars to go with it. I don't think these rigs are meant to stay 'pretty,' and I cannot recall the last time I went to the mall to be honest.
Suffice to say, the Cybertruck has a lot to live up to. But if it some how doesn't, then I think I'm just going to have to accept that I had a good run with them and just stop playing with these rigs entirely and be boring with a Model 3 or something.
