I really, intensely wonder about the age demographic for the Cybertruck. As I mentioned in this and related threads, I kinda _get_ the appearance. I’m two years younger than Musk, and it appeals to my 80s childhood aesthetic along with [Landmaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmaster) and [Ark 2](https://small-sci-fi-screen-craft.fandom.com/wiki/ARK_II_(Vehicle)) that showed up in the Saturday Sci-Fi matinees I was extremely fond of on the local stations.

So many of the cars of that period were super angular, pointy and we (well, my friends and I of that age) loved them. Now, the modern “me” looks at the Cybertruck and overall disapproves, because it looks like it would be hard to see around, park, and all the practical elements of everyday life, but the inner tween/teen still quietly mutters “It’s cool.”

So, if most of the people buying the car turn out to be men in the 50 year old (+/- 10) bracket, I would say I wasn’t surprised.
