6,600lb tow capacity. You can dislike a thing, but like, you should probably at least get the facts straight.

Let's see the production model pull 6600 pounds on an 80% charge. Which by the way I see no stats on this on the site. But I'd much rather see production demos before I trusted those even. Even Cybertruck struggles to tow full weight at full charge further than 90 miles.

How much you want to bet you'd be calling a real truck to tow your ass out of that situation? There's a reason electric trucks haven't taken off for real work use cases.

The cybertruck is built pretty poorly. I think we can use truck stats from reputable automakers.

When were electric trucks realistically available on the market for a reasonable price?

I use a truck regularly (forestry industry), there's huge desire for them, they just haven't been around until very recently. You can't buy a secondhand ol beatup electric truck yet, so I don't expect them to be taking off yet.
