    It’s a truck, meant to tow and haul loads. If this is its range unladen then it’s hauling range is 50% or less of this range. Meaning a full charge gets you 82-103 miles, which makes it nearly useless as the thing it’s supposed to be: a truck.

      Believe it or not, some people tow short distances, and some people use trucks as trucks without ever towing at all.

        But Tesla specifically marketed this as a fully capable truck, which it is not. The F-150 Lightning gets the same range towing as the Cybertruck gets with no cargo.

          Of course it is. Once again, range is not the only factor people consider when choosing a vehicle.
