the problem with the Cybertruck is going to be its size, it's humongous, it's in the same class as a Ford F-250. Going to be hard for a lot of folks to find the space for that behemoth, especially for the people that like to camp but don't have hard core needs like farmers and construction workers. I think Rivian will have the suburban-outdoors people market down pat if they ever manage to actually ship and the car doesn't suck.

It’s in the same weight class as the F250 but it’s roughly the same dimensionally as an F150. Batteries are heavy.

This. Dimensionally, it's almost exactly the same as an F-150. There's no reason to complain about the size.
