Ford is moving to range-extended trucks; Which makes better sense for what is after all a work vehicle. The EV market in general is making a push on range extenders. Which is why Geely and Renault have a JV producing them. Tesla has to do the same. However, The Ketamine Kid and his vision will probably slow if not stop that.

Inode,
That isn't a bust yet.
Compared to the initial hype, Cybertrucks failed to live up to it.

I'm sure in the long run, the Cybertruck may survive as a novelty vehicle. It might even be a viable predecessor to a future electric pickup truck. Similar way Teslas made it into the mainstream.

But in terms of practicality, it's just not worth it, except maybe as an Urban Assault Vehicle for either law enforcement or people who want an edge up in road rage incidents.
