This is similar to discussing the off-road capabilities of a Range Rover. The extent of off-roading for most Range Rovers is typically just driving onto a front lawn. Most cybertruck owners will likely show little to no concern about its towing capacity.

The hope with new technology is always that its better than existing tech, possibly in extreme ways (10x better). It would be great if electric vehicles just blew away ICE vehicles traditional metrics, I think that's one of the ways Tesla got its foothold in the first place with the Roadster acceleration numbers.

If the selling point is only environmental, and not price or anything else then the transition will be a harder sell to consumers.
