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

That bet is money in the bank already.
The advertised pricing fir the Cybertruck was known to be out to lunch for a while already. It’s way bigger and heavier than their other vehicles, so would require significantly more battery capacity, and was the cheapest vehicle they had advertised. It made no sense.
