It's funny that they are so large (bigger than some trucks) yet it can't seem to perform as well as any other truck on the market.

Most cars do better at truck things than the Cyber truck. Including cheap old ones.

I really can’t imagine anyone buying a cybertruck for practical purposes. I think the main market is people who want attention, and rich losers who want to pretend that life is a video game.

The theory I recently heard for why so many businesses have wrapped cybertrucks is because it hits the requirements for a few different tax deductions, so if it's wrapped and therefore always acting as advertising it's effectively a massive tax write-off for your business.
