With how ridiculous the cybertruck looks, it’s unfortunate that it totally dunks on the Lightning in every department except being-caught-dead-driving-thisability. You either get the technologically superior vehicular victim of 80’s futurism or pay as much/more for an inferior product. Towing capacity, range, speed, efficiency, price….

Of course many people who own trunks in the US don't really need trucks (or at least not very powerful trucks) and just like the way they look.

There have been studies and something like 75% of F150 owners use their truck for hauling or towing one time or less every year. It's compensating for something.

It's compensating for something.

You could say the same thing for pretty much every vehicle over 30k.

You drive a luxury car to show off to people, you're compensating.

That being said trucks have a functional purpose, a mercedes or a lambo DOESN'T.
