I think you are both partially right. The Cybertruck embodies all the compromises you have to make when your marketing team (Elon) makes a lot of promises that engineers have to try and deliver on. Take the ridiculous shape of the car itself that Elon clearly drew on a napkin and refused to compromise on going forward. The engineers had to "just figure it out" and so you end up with a windshield wiper that is 10 inches longer than the one on city busses and costs $75 just for the rubber blade. That isn't innovative and it doesn't solve any specific problem other than they got painted into a corner.
