I watched it. First, it sounded more like a company ad or PR than an actual engineering explanation. Second, while it may be true that the triangular frame-design and sheet-steel thickness gives it a strength-advantage, that pyramid-point does also contribute to substantially less space-efficiency than a traditional three-box pickup.

I doubt the Cybertruk will take over the F-150 anytime soon. But the Lightning sales are already slipping. I think it is the dealer markups. Dealers are not doing Ford and favors.

I dunno. With over 1 million pre-orders, never say never. I'm not a fan of the Cybertruck myself and would get the F150 Lightning over it, but I'm not going to deny that there is a possibility that it could outsell all other trucks. Or at least come in a close second. But my money is on the Cybertruck

A possible advantage the Cybertruk could have is price, we will see how that works out. Interesting times ahead.

Can't be. Pickup trucks, at least the ones that are used as such, need to haul, tow, etc. Range is killed by a load, for EV or ICE trucks. But ICE trucks cn be filled quickly. Just my 2 cents.

And as for demand, Ford can't keep up. There are a lot of people who wanted the lower trims, but Ford isn't making many of them so people back out. But for every one that does, there's someone willing to get a higher trim.

Best truck I've ever owned by a mile. It's absolutely fantastic. The reality is most people aren't towing boats every day. I have a boat at our lake house, it tows it better than any other truck I've had. By miles. It's like there's nothing attached.

Ford is supposedly ramping up to 150,000 Lightnings per year. Cybertruck is going to sell very well, but it will take time to ramp production (just as it did for Ford) and it's going to be highly unlikely Tesla will meet the base model price targets. Just like every other electric truck you're going to see top models before you see many base models.
