Well Elon Musk does have the mind of a 14-year old. :P

To me the Cybertruck looks like something out of a cyberpunk dystopia, and I sincerely hope the design doesn't catch on to other vehicles. Not that I think most vehicles today look much better than it.

I might put $10 on it being this generation hummer both in who buys it and how it's used

It's the eco-conscious choice for the "Mad Max" doomsday prepper.

Doomsday preppers want old trucks before computer-controlled engines (EMP hardened) running on diesel (easier to bulk store for long term without degradation). And not just one bug-out truck, but a menu of vehicle options to survive different scenarios.
Or so I've heard... ;)

I really don't think any serious prepper is driving a vehicle so dependent on the grid, let alone one that doesn't even have buttons on the console.

It seems more like the vehicle for the tech bro, "how do I take this public service and turn it into a company that pays me instead" set.

They probably don't look at it like this but electric is a million times better for doomsday crowd. You can charge it with a simple solar panel setup. Fuel goes bad, and runs out.
