Another way of putting it -- To drive 50,000 miles, a Ford F150 or similar has to consume ~8,500 kgs of gasoline:
> 50,000 miles / 20 mpg * (3.4 kg/gal)
The Cybertruck Battery weighs ~1,400 kgs, and probably lasts at least 100K miles even with poor charging practices
So you would have to compare 1,400kgs of Lithium with at least 17,000 kgs of gasoline over the lifetime of the vehicle.
If you want to be totally fair, you could include your car's share of the weight of fuels used in the electric grid. However, even charging from a fairly dirty grid is more efficient than an ICE, so this wouldn't change things much.
