Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

[Fuddyduddy1952]

A lot of people want a 'one size fits all' vehicle which I'm thinking is why crew cab large pickups are so popular, a 4dr family sedan+truck, but just like I have a variety of tools I bet there would be a market for a small inexpensive truck.
I see a lot of Mitsubishi minicab trucks around here. They're inexpensive, economical, tilt bed (imagine unloading gravel, wood, dirt, hay...anything with a tilt bed). For getting supplies or working around the farm they have a purpose.
An electric similar with 150-200 mile range could be very useful especially if not expensive.

These little trucks punch way above their weight and from farmers in the mountains carrying immense loads to market…

Their weakness is safety at highway speeds.

I’ve seen several plates in Washington State and spoke to one owner at a feed store… she said it’s perfect for her horse operation…
