Are you suggesting that modern trucks can’t be used as trucks?

I mean the Cybertruck, and EV trucks in general to a certain extent, are rather lousy trucks, so they aren't seen as aspirational the same way a normal F150 or Submariner are.

There are some good EV trucks out there. The Cybertruck is kind of uniquely bad because they tried so hard to make it unique and funny looking.

The customer is always right. If they were good, sales wouldn't have plummeted as soon as the novelty wore off.
