> Towing with an EV is terrible.

If you have to charge, it can be a pain. It's fine for towing short distance. It can tow up to 11k lbs.

> The truck bed isn't practical for anything but a lawn mower.

Hard disagree. I've hauled gravel, lumber, furniture, appliances. It can fit a 4x8 sheet of sheetrock with the tailgate down.

> When I ride in one it rides like a car.

It drives like a sports car. Literally the most fun vehicle I've ever driven.

> It doesn't look good dirty.

Disagree, I think it looks better dirty. More dystopian.

> It's also super expensive

The price for the AWD dual motor is comparable to other pickups.

It's also the safest pickup truck you can buy, according to the IIHS and NHTSA.

Make it make sense. A silverado Turbomax can tow 12k and the bed can handle cargo up to 2500lbs and it's around 45k and a cybertruck easy 85k. Don't get me wrong some of what I said was opinionated.

I think a more apt comparison might be a fully optioned silverado trubomax, which can range $60-$75k.

AWD CT can haul 7500 lbs, air suspension, tonneau cover, premium sound, 240v out, FSD, etc.

spec for spec though. The majority of trucks sold are the turbomax spec a turbo charged 4 cylinder. About 20% of them go to fleet sales.Higher trims yes Cybertruck has some good options but go see what WHistlin Dixie did to his and you'll understand more of my opinion.
