I was working at Microsoft when Steve Ballmer said "No one is going to spend $500 on a phone" in response the iPhone.
It's okay to own a truck even if you don't work on a farm. I own an f150 because it has way more legroom in the back than any SUV, it can haul my mountain bikes, and it's easy to haul stuff I buy from costco and home depot. Most of the time the back is empty. I don't think it makes me a horrible person.
The Cybertruck would do all of that just as well.
