You know what? I think I kind of agree with you. At least the cybertruck is a stupid vehicle which I'd be comfortable saying pretends to be a truck without doing any of the things a person who needs a truck needs their truck to do.

I think gating the definition of "truck" behind "not electric" is stupid, which is what I thought you were doing (and to be honest, your comment is worded to make that a reasonable interpretation); but if you just meant "these trucks are stupid and don't do what I need a truck to do" then I can't disagree.

thank you, that's pretty much my reasoning.

I one day hope that EV trucks will be useful to me to replace my ICE truck, but for me none of them hit the boxes.

some of them are logistical in relation to charging vs having an extra can of gas though, so it's hard to say.
