Really? Both are basic sedans
That's like saying the Civic is a scaled version of the Accord. You really make people doubt what you say by asserting such
sillyness.
Really? The key point being made, which you & others have missed, is that developing a totally new vehicle type, i.e. a truck,
is a more complex development/production process than just producing another passenger vehicle, as wasn't the case with the
M3 given the years of production of the MS and its years in the field before the M3.
Have you read this?

To most they're basically similar for development/production.
When it comes to choosing which sedan would work best for you, the final decision mostly depends on your preferences. If an efficient, affordable sedan is what you’re after, explore the 2019 Honda Civic Sedan. If roomy cargo capacities and sporty performance appeal to you, consider the 2019 Honda Accord Sedan.
You're quoting a DEALERSHIP website as a source? :lol: :lol:
Dealerships don't know what they're talking about half the time, the other half of the time they're lying.
The Civic and the Accord are different platforms. They're both sedans, but different platforms. The CRV used to be (and may still be fro all I know) based upon the Civic platform, just as the Acura RSX was based on the Civic platform while the TSX was based upon the Accord platform. Different size unibody, different size engines, often different transmissions and suspension as well.
In regards to the Model 3 vs the S, the Model 3 when developed had almost no common parts with the Model S, with exception to the MCU and AP computer and related parts.
It has a different body and body manufacturing process.
It has different battery cells and packs
It has different motors
It has different inverters
It has different doors.... trunk.... frunk... seats.. Roof Glass...
It has different suspension
It has different wiring
So, let's go back to your point about development of the Cybertruck vs the S, X, and Model 3. It is a radical departure from the other designs, primarily due to the way the body is designed. If it were a "regular" style truck, it would be a lot easier. Tesla has learned a lot from the mistakes of not figuring out the manufacturing process as part of the design process. However, this style of construction that they are employing isn't new. It's been used in the aeronautical industry for quite some time now, and SpaceX will be using it as part of the new rockets in development.
The funniest part of the Internet these days for me is people who think, that whatever it is they do on the daily in their day job along with whatever it is they do sitting behind their computer screen that...
Tesla, who can attract some very smart and talented engineers cannot hire a bunch of people with more knowledge, experience, and intelligence than some rando on the internet.
That isn't to say that those smart and talented engineers may not suffer from hubris from time to time. The Model X is a great example of where they didn't consider design all the way through the manufacturing phase. I'm pretty sure they have that worked out of their system by now.
