As much as they want to tote this as some kind of trades solution, I can pretty much guarantee you this thing ain’t gonna be parked at many job sites.
Also, it will be a decade or more before EV trucks ever have the long range towing payload of a one tonne or 3/4 tonne diesel. The guy with the 3500 Cummins will be in Calgary towing a 5th wheel trailer a day and a half before the Tesla has made its 6th stop to charge in the kootneys

It's not perfect for everyone but no vehicle is. Living on Vancouver Island I can be in the bush within 15 minutes. You could take 6 people into the bush with tools and lumber and build a tiny house/cabin. then use the truck to power it for a few day when you are there. You have to think outside the box.
According to Tesla's website a Model S longe range will need 3 stops to get from Vancouver to Calgary with a total charge time of 110 minutes. The Cyber truck will be different but it gives you a rough idea.
