> However, if you are pulling your lawn care trailer around town, you will not have a problem,

I live in a high CoL area, but I still can't imagine a lawn care business affording an $80k truck. Most of them seem to drive used Tacomas and Mavericks.

People who are paying $80 to $90k for a luxury pickup truck aren't particularly worried about operating costs.

With perhaps the exception of a few climate-change believers who happen to also run construction companies or farms/ranches (they do exist!), what F150/Cybertruck owners are worried about is signaling to others that they paid $80 to $90k for a luxury pickup truck.

To this day, I've seen 1 Lightning loaded with construction gear.

I've never seen a Cybertruck doing heavy work - they are usually rolling squeaky clean around ritzy parts of town, or getting stuck in snowdrifts in the mountains.

The EVs I see doing work: Ford Electric transit vans.
