This is a brilliant move on Musk's part to ingratiate himself with the Dodge Ram crowd and sell more Cybertrucks in the red states. Well played, sir. Well played.
I don't know how far Cybertruck is going to penetrate the truck market. 73% of truck owners literally have only owned the same make and model just upgraded from year to year.
I was planning on buying the Cybertruck to replace my Tacoma but was forced to buy a new truck after the Tacoma was totaled. I got a diesel Ram 2500. Now I don't see any advantage of the Cybertruck over a diesel, however it does have an advantage over gasoline.

It's sad you think humans are just drones only influenced by ads
Trucks are more powerful than cars, more power equals more freedom and independence
If society came to an absolute abrupt stop and everything we take for granted today no longer was available (I'm talking worse than this quarantine) a truck would be useful in many ways a car couldn't be
