I watched the whole launch event, my takeaway is that the Cybertruck is is going to really take off. I say this as someone who really disliked the initial aesthetic. Here are 3 facts:
1. It outpulls an F350 Diesel (and an F150 lightning and Rivian R1T)
2. It outurns any vehicle due to rear-wheel steering
3. It is faster than ANY truck AND most sports cars (it beat a Porsche 911 while pulling a 911 on a trailer)
4. It is bulletproof. They showed footage of two different gun types shooting the car. I imagine you are going to have certain celbreties get one of these simply to "flex" as the cool kids say these days. Some people will also get it because they are in cities where drive by shootings DO happen frequently and you can at least duck inside your Cybertruck.
Now, believe it or not, but there are people who do work with trucks that really need to pull a lot of weight, and being able to pull a little more than the F350 is going to result in less trips, so functionally some people will get it just for that reason. Also, moving a truck on certain job sites is a PITA sometimes, and the all wheel turning is going to be like magic in some situations.
I predict this will change the entire industry.
