=Once the infrastructure issues are fixed, which they will be, I'm afraid the traditional pickup truck will become a thing of the past. Just my opinion
Sure and I respect that. I just couldn't disagree more.

I appreciate that and your view as well. I make no claims in predicting the future, so at this point I can only look at numbers, and they are going in a positive direction for the Lightning. I believe that if non Tesla infrastructure didn't suck like it does, the 281 percent growth would be double that. Right now if you want to drive a Lightning between NorCal and Southern Cal, you have to deal with this:
Non Tesla charging, Bakersfield, CA
But once you get better infrastructure like this, more people will buy them:

Ford is on their first iteration plus they are new to making EVs next version will no doubt be greatly improved. What I can't predict is if traditional truck buyers will consider a Cybertruck if I had to guess not that many. For work purposes that is a totally different story a truck that is almost indestructible is very tempting.
Job site trucks look like hell, paint damage, rust, dents everywhere that won't be happening on the Cybertruck.

Oh no, people will be PPF'ing their Cyber Trucks LoL. The traditional work trucks, like my neighbor has for his flooring business will exist for a long time. Also my cousin, who lives in the Central Valley and has a construction company, I can't see him ever leaving his heavy duty RAM diesel trucks where they haul tons of road building equipment. He actually has a huge diesel fuel tank in his backyard for filling up his trucks

For long haul towing you have to go diesel (except the Tesla Semi) but for doing city runs the Cybertruck will save businesses a small fortune.

Towing small trailers, or Caravans has become very popular among Model Y and X owners, I'm sure people will use their Cyber trucks for towing as well. But using it as a work truck, we'll have to see
Just got my $100 refundable deposit back on my Cybertruck last week (it was surprisingly quick) -- I figure if I invest it in a high yield savings account, that $100 will be able to pay a hefty chunk of the CT when I can actually get my hands on one in 20 years,
