Other than people who use their truck for work are the soccer mom's/baseball dad's and hicks with small dicks. Most of the mom's and dad's will have no problem with either the Lightning, Rivian or Cybertruck. If they already have a Model S/3/X/Y, the odds of them getting the Cybertruck are really high.
For the hicks, they will get buried in their gas guzzler.
Personally, I really like the look of the Rivian and am not a big fan of the Cybertruck's looks but I would never buy an EV that can't use the Tesla Supercharging network as it is so easy to use.

Lol.. you’re discounting a huge portion of people who have travel trailers, toys, etc. that these trucks will never be able to replace.
Try towing an enclosed trailer with 4 snowmobiles with a model X, good luck.
I thought with gas prices the way they are these toy haulers and camper trailers etc. would be dieing a slow death, but over the past few summers/falls I’ve never seen so many rigs out on the road in Kamloops/Kelowna/Penticton. Etc
Also, jobs like the pipeline etc. there isn’t one electric truck because that would be a huge burden
