Well tesla has seemed to trying shooting themselves in the foot with their truck rollout. Naming it "cyber truck" then making it look like a bad hot wheels, giving it a small bed with angled sided making it badly shaped for carrying many loads (like a pickups bed is meant for), using new manufacturing technique for its body which results in problems that slow production, bragging about it being indestructible then breaking it window trying to demonstrate how indestructible it is.

I genuinely doubt the average Cybertruck customer is planning on using for hauling anything more than kids and groceries.

Because people buy based on what they like and enjoy, not what's optimal.
