14. These things

were never a utility truck. And let's face it, 95% (or more) of the ones sold were sold to urban people and the truck will never leave the pavement. I think Musk banked on that.
Anyone who actually uses a truck for its intended purpose could have (and did) tell people that this thing was never a real truck to begin with and couldn't possibly do much more than haul groceries or a TV from Best Buy. It was not built to do any real work. I also see a lot of these videos where the person trying to show you how the truck fails (example the one above trying to climb a slick hill), have no idea how to even do what they are trying to do, so it's a combination of both. the F150 couldn't make it up that hill either, without knowing how to do it, hence why it stays up on flat and dry ground to do the work.

Not to even mention how butt ugly that thing is. For some reason a lot of people can't help but to follow and mimic the latest fads and trends, and the cybertruck is or was nothing more than that. It was new and they insisted on having one because no one else did. It's all about getting attention.
