...about the Cybertruck? At 1:30am Musk posted one sentence that, in effect, said CT production will end; it's "winding down."
Looks like ALL you "nay-sayers" were spot on. All the criticism leveled at that vehicle turned out to be, more or less, 100% spot on.
If you hated that "thing," regardless the reason(s) give yourself a gold star - you called it!

I'm curious if any were ever used as a genuine pickup.🤔

Totally unusual. Some things astound you and then, after many viewings, become common place and more accepted. I hated seeing the Rolex watch for the first time. Clunky, bulky and after many years of seeing it, it became the classic, in my eyes, that so many saw before me and I had to have one. Well, I bought two of them. (No longer have either but that's a different story)
The first time I saw a Cyber Truck in the 'wild', I gasped. I had no idea what it was but I instantly hated it for the pieced-together-by-non-car-kids that I just knew it had to be.
I've changed my mind on it a skosh. I didn't dislike it because it was electric or a Tesla but that it was so far out there. Soften the sharp edges and it might have looked better. But like these youths with 9 inch spiked pink and blue hair and 200 piercings, they want to be seen and that's how the CT came across to me. Will it be replaced, do you know Chris?

"Soften the sharp edges and it might have looked better."
Well, that's been said about a billion times - but of course the problem is that there's really no way to do that with the type of "stainless steel" mandated for the outer "exoskeleton." The body also serves as a frame structure.
However....... 😉 😏 🤨

I, for one, want nothing to do with one.
