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:
Tesla Charging, Kettleman City, CA

Job site trucks look like hell, paint damage, rust, dents everywhere that won't be happening on the Cybertruck.

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.

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

I don't believe they will ever make enough Hummers to be considerd a competitor to the Cybertruck in a meaningful way.
Two totally different trucks too but for someone buying it for just cruising around, I can see a few people cross shopping the Hummer and Cyberruck.

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,
