The vehicle isn't moving. It's a several ton vehicle. No matter the rate of turn, it has no forward momentum to assist the turn. This is the same reason that non-power-assisted steering vehicles are easy to turn at high speed, and difficult at low/no speed. It takes more energy. This means the quicker (in terms of acceleration and velocity) you turn the drive wheels the more energy it takes and the more wear and tear it places on the steering components and tires.
Even if this wasn't by design and is a limit of the "power" of the power steering system unable to "keep up", so what? Try going 0.5mph and see how it feels.
Also notice its not LAG. It starts turning THE MOMENT you turn the steering wheel, it's rate of change just isn't the same. That's not latency. The vehicle still turns the wheels when you ask it to, even when stopped. In what scenario do you need a stopped vehicles tires to steer from lock to lock in under 3 seconds?
There is plenty to complain about the cybertruck. This aint it, chief.
