You (or any other true believer who buys one) not caring whether it can do “truck” things doesn’t change that. It is very amusing that your argument started out as it’s a great truck “with great range, even towing”. Now it’s great because nobody cares about those things. |

Every single $80k+ Cybertruck produced will sell for at least the next 4 years. |

I never said that they wouldn’t sell. There are people lining up to buy pink cups at Target. This is no different. It’s a novelty and there are plenty of idiots with money. What’s your point? |

Most 1/2 ton trucks are used as daily commuters and occasional hauling. Our work garage is full of pickup trucks. Most of them work in IT and not a profession where they need to haul things on a regular basis. |

42 minutes? If it takes you 42 minutes to make your case for EVs, you are either full of bullshit, or have no idea what you are talking about (which is basically the same as being full of bullshit). You can take your pick which you like, or come back with an explanation that takes less than 5 minutes to make a point.

I live outside of town, fairly rural area. Many people have trucks but I only know one of them who hauls a camper across the south with his Titan. Most truck owners buy pickup trucks for their utility. Those shiny new F150 SuperCrew or Dodge Rams likely will never see the offroad.. Guys who do offroad stuff usually use old dinged up trucks for that and not $60k+ shiny new ones. The VAST majority buy them as daily driver and that they don't have to rent a truck every time they buy larger stuff from Home Depot or Lowes or haul stuff to the landfill. That covers probably most 1/2 ton pickup truck owners. Those who seriously haul large trailers for many miles usually don't buy 1/2 ton trucks. They get at least a 3/4 Ton or 1 Ton truck for that. When I hauled my race car, I first had a Sierra 2500 Turbo Diesel and then a F250 V10. I wouldn't have considered a smaller truck as I hauled my race car through the mountains at times to participate in races. Therefore, for the TYPICAL 1/2 ton buyer, the Cybertruck fits right in. I don't know what percent really go offroad or haul large trailers with a 1/2 ton truck but I believe that it's less than 5% of all 1/2 ton truck owners (at least NEW 1/2 ton trucks). |

As I said, I had 6 Pickup Trucks and I remodeled homes (and still do at times) and I never went offroad and I never hauled more than 8000 lbs |

It's perfectly fine for the usage pattern of the vast majority of 1/2 ton truck owners. I personally would suggest that people who want to do true truck stuff will get 3/4 ton or 1 ton trucks, not 1/2 ton.

Although based on the customer demographic, I guess taking even more range out of the Tesla wouldn’t matter if it’s only used to pick things up at Target and make and a quick stop at Starbucks. |
