RIP Cybertruck. You Were Unloved, Unwanted, and Utterly Absurd

I mean efficient in engineering terms, not economics. A cybertruck is not as efficient as a small SUV (model Y) which is not as efficient as a sedan (model 3).

Cybertruck — 2mi/kwh

Model Y — 3.8mi/kwh

Model 3 — 4mi/kwh

But economic terms are what matters.

I just think it's kind of weird that the entire context of your argument is on vehicles that live almost exclusively within the 95%+ percentile of energy efficiency. The cybertruck/lightning is equivalent energy efficiency to something like 70mpg, so yes, it's half the efficiency of a vehicle in the 99% percentile of efficiency but it's ~2x more efficient than the average car on the road today and ~3x more efficient than the average truck.
