Cybertruck uses the new 4680 batteries which were supposed to offer significantly better performance [1] at lower cost.

Instead they are worse than what we have today and there is no evidence that the costs are lower.

And the supercharger network is no longer an advantage as almost all EVs will now be using them.

Cybertruck uses the 2.4 4680 without dry coating. We've already seen the CT has amazing thermals, great charging curve, and we haven't even seen the 800v charging yet. We also have a floor on the cost with the range extender, which is the cheapest 50kwh battery I've seen first-party.

Tesla is becoming a commodity and you don't see an advantage?
