My average for keeping a vehicle barring a lemon is 10-20+ years so somewhere in that window depending on how reliable/condition as the years tick away.
Yes two times for sure one I didn't verify, the one I didn't verify was on a newer car and the steering reportedly jammed causing an accident. The other two were old rock crawlers at low speed and had steering shaft separations.
Even with that I am not worried about the increased failure...
That would be a lot of weight, I am running 3/16 steel plate in strategic locations and it rarely gets bent.
Edit: a 5x8x.25 steel plate weighs over 400 lbs.
$2.4-2.6M installed... been looking at them and hoping to work on getting grants to install in areas to support critical infrastructure... and to clean up our crappy power.
No Tesla installers in my area, still considering going off grid but decided to try to move the COOP into a direction where it is better for the community first.
No problem it was an interesting discussion and I am expecting dealing with the solar installations to be one of the more difficult things. Silly contracts with the power supplier, and an already bad reputation with the localish installers.
I know politics are generally a no no but due to things happening that pissed me off and not liking the direction things were headed, I am running for a position on the board of our local electric coop.
Typically I am the type that is perfectly happy being off to the side playing with my toys...
My dailies don't get much in he way of modifications, maybe slightly larger tires but the tires on the Cybertruck are already huge. I might go skinnier with a more road worthy tread pattern but I am not anticipating doing much. I probably wont even add skid plates. Though if I do wind up...
The old CJ series Jeeps didn't come with a good heater, I ripped everything out but the core and it still doesn't blow much. My wife made me put her door back on after a boulder wanted to get a little too friendly with her.
I don't have a good answer for that, due to my lifestyle and where I live the 500 mile battery pack is dictating my purchase decision more than anything else. I am hoping to be able to get the dual motor with the long range battery pack but I am not holding my breath. I also have FSD reserved...

34.9 tall by 12.4 wide would indicate that the bed is in the 79.8"x49.6" range
The variables we don't have is whether the tire manufacturer measured the sidewall bulge as part of the tread width or the actual tread width, I have seen it go both...
If you think about it it would have to have the same interior space width wise as mid sized truck. The tires stick out, full sized trucks aside from dualies or Raptor are fully within the fender width. The Cybertruck's body is narrower than the wheels and always has been.
Second these are BIG...
Had that happen when my Nissan was brand new while camping. It was parked very nose down and we had some heavy rains roll through. A long screwdriver and a hammer took care of the plastic covers over the holes real quick.
