I think all these EV trucks are out over their skis when it comes to hauling, towing and range. (Big-Rig EVs do a good job of hauling potato chips, but that's about it.)Any range anxiety, and real-world range is compounded with EV "trucking", far worse than the usual disappointing range performance of the EVs we have seen so far. They just don't really want you to know how bad the range gets, so don't bother trying to find out.

This Cyber-Truck strikes me as more of a novelty toy than anything really useful or practical. Congrats to Musk for building it, though. The vehicle weight of these and all EVs being twice or more than similar ICE vehicles will become a huge costly infrastructure road maintenance and construction issue.

If EVs didn't have the blindly perceived save-the-planet platitudes to go with them, likely they would be banned, like the Corvair...lol

But the harangue of 2+2=5 continues to proliferate, so carry on...

I found some Cyber-Truck apparel that goes with the future theme of the truck...
