>> Many pickup owners will never tow anything. About 1/3rd of pickup trucks sold are to commercial buyers, though.

  Sure, but that doesn't mean they're used for towing. Across a wide array of business types, they're used as rugged cars with a company logo on them.

    Those numbers include 3/4 and 1-ton trucks which are used for all kinds of commercial purposes, the might not "tow" but they are still carrying thousands of pounds of work equipment etc. Just because a truck isn't being used to a tow a trailer 24/7 doesn't mean it's just being used as a 'rugged car'.

      I don't think there are any announced plans for an 3/4 or 1 ton electric trucks, so these will be competing with the "overgrown passenger car" class of pickups, not the "miniature big rig" class.

        The Cybertruck is technically a medium duty truck, or at least it was according to the 2019 announcement specs.
