That was a rhetorical question, because it's not great as a truck. Stainless steel done wrong. See also the Delorean which I've met physically. Completely useless as a sports car (too small engine) and the Stainless steel was a gimmick as it is on the cybertruck, though worse as the steel was only a skin on the fibreglass body which started to detach. Only any use as a film prop.

And yet so many people seem to be comparing the Cybertruck to other trucks, electric, hybrid and ICE.

Two acquaintances of mine in California purchased a Cybertruck and were quite happy with it driving around town for a couple of months. Then they made the mistake of trying to use it to tow their mobile home to a campsite about 800km/500 miles away for an annual family get together . They got about 150km/94 miles from home before having to hit a charger since the Cybertruck had dropped to ~8% charged. At that point, they charged to 90%, turned around and headed home. Once they got home, they hooked the mobile home up to their Dodge 3500 and headed back out. When they reached the station where they had used the charger, they filled the truck back up which cost them $9 less than it had taken to charge the Cybertruck and continued on to the get together. They did stop again to fill up but 10 minutes to fill up compared ~50 minutes for the Cybertruck for 10% to 90% and 1 stop compared to ~5 projected for the Cybertruck).

What ticked them off the most was that the Cybertruck did not come close to correctly showing the range drop due to towing the mobile home (the display showed ~290 miles range with the mobile home hooked up compared to ~334 miles range before the hookup).

It's also made of the wrong kind of stainless steel, and aluminium alloy (cheap and light) or titanium (madly expensive, lighter than steel stronger than aluminium alloy) are better. Land-Rovers were Aluminium alloy bodies.

It's not bullet proof and can't go off road. A status symbol.

EVs are fine for urban vehicles. Not good for rural or heavy goods.

I think the only thing uglier than a Cybertruck would be a Cybertruck with a little ding/dent in its flat stainless panels (from careless handling of the door of the car parked next to you). That would stick out like a sore thumb.
