don't fixate on small and cheap. Cyber truck and Semi. High margin, heavy profit, and very much under-developed competition.
agreed. there has been monumental 'best product at a good price and better cost' fails.
Poor marketing, mis-understanding of target audience, unpopular association or optics-fails: vhs vs betamax, ipod vs zune, blu ray vs hd dvd…
Even offending the local culture such as anti-union, sassing popular pick-ups, perceived elitism, insufficient associated patriotism…

It's all about the robustness of your supply lines, follow up maintenance facilities, and allowing affordability and maximizing market access (truck or compact or SUV or large sedan in your area). –soooo, experience and ability to deal with the current dealer ecosystem.
