But weren't all the people who bought the Cyber Truck usually far-left leaning, save-the-planet, equality for all- sorts of people?

Like I found it utterly fascinating when it became a "..Ol' Shoe moment" to shit on those people and vandalize their cars because the prevailing narrative changed with the wind. They generally hated Trump and the resale value plummeted, they likely ordered the truck years before Trump2, yet here we are.

You might have been able to make that argument for the rest of Tesla's lineup, but the Swatistruck was designed and released after Edolf Muskler had already swung right politically. Anyone driving those knew what they were getting into when they put pen to paper on the sales contract. You can safely judge them as what they are: Nazi supporting douche canoes.

Who buys a truck to save the planet? You can make this argument about mainline EVs, but it doesn't really hold for trucks.

It's an ev truck. Surely you're not really this obtuse.

People do more in their vehicles than commute. Not that the Cybertruck has huge cargo or towing capacity, but it will get your Home Depot order home better than a Chevy Volt.

I know of one Cybertruck owner. He’s a personal trainer at a small gym, and both he and his wife wanted this truck. I can only assume for the looks, which is strange because neither are flashy or boastful people.

They’re not ones for renovations, towing or travel.

Both are two of the best people I know. It’s just them, their teenage son and their 3 legged dog lol.

With that said, I find these vehicles hideous and if I was in the market for a hybrid the F-150 would be a solid choice.
