I suspect it's due to battery allocation issues. The Cybertruck is going to use more batteries than a car. Given their low price target, they probably feel making 1.3 cars per Cybertruck(or whatever the ratio is) is more profitable. I think we'll see lots of these types of things going forward, as companies realize batteries are the real limiting factor. It's also why the Tesla semi doesn't make a lot of sense.

This bodes well for my bet with my brother the Ford Lighting would outsell the Cybertruck. Yay me.
