Who cares about rural customers. How will the suburbs like it? That's who actually buys all those trucks.

Days after the Jeep Gladiator (a Wrangler pickup) was available, I saw several in the suburbs. This is Tesla territory, so come 2022 there will be a bunch of Cybertrucks taking the kids to school.
How many rural areas have you been to? I see small houses with a half-dozen pickups sitting around all the time when I get more than 100 miles or so out of a major city. And places like ranches, farms, and orchards seem to operate small fleets of them.
Of course, they usually span the past few decades of makes/models, but there are plenty of towns where the trucks outnumber the people.
I think one big issue will be that a lot of people are like 50 miles from the nearest major highway or town, which makes the range a bigger issue for daily use.
Its a population question. just more buyers in the city.
There are more people in the city, but are you sure there more truck purchases? I'm not, but all I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't.
