I have a truck that I got for cheap (under $4k) and never used as my main commuter car back when I was still commuting, but there are some very practical differences between a truck and a Tesla that most people wouldn't want to give up. Mostly in the form of cargo capacity and towing capacity. As stuff like the cybertruck and f-150 lightning trickle down into the used truck market they'll get more affordable to the average Joe, but for now it's out of reach for a lot of people. I do agree with you though that the people out there blowing $40k+ on a vanity truck could definitely go with an electric (or a much cheaper normal pickup)

Yes I don’t mean to target anyone with real uses for a truck, more those using them to commute. I personally find myself wanting one all the time as a homeowner but can’t seem to justify it personally for the two or three times a year I would actually use it!
