I picture Cybercabs running around picking up and dropping off people. I see Semis running between cities delivering long-haul freight. And I always imagined Cybertrucks doing everything else. Cybertruck was the multi-mission utility platform that Cybercab, Robovan and Robotaxi could not be. It also had the potential to act as an important piece of the energy puzzle. It would carry folks in rural areas, manage dirt/gravel/snowy/rough roads. It would haul up to 5 people at a time It would transport 5+ Optimus robots plus their tools, consumables, batteries and equipment to job sites at a time… and even power the work if needed. It would transport medical equipment, refrigerated medical and food needs. It had room in the back for business tools, equipment and short haul cargo/supplies. It would run welders, compressors, saws and other job-site tools. It would power food trucks and events without noise or pollution. It would provide energy storage for emergency backup. It was the Swiss Army knife of the fleet. It covered the messy, local, hybrid cargo/people/robots missions and business needs that pure people movers fall short of doing. Boy oh boy, Cybertruck would have been a perfect pairing combo with Optimus! And, of course, Cybertruck already has also been everything passionately conveyed by the community… personal enjoyment, freedom and independent movement. Elon must have a better plan. He has always had a keen understanding of how best to proceed. I remain optimistic for Tesla’s mission.
