chill.Cybertruck specs make it more than JUST "full-size 1/2 ton truck".
Cybertruck overlaps some specs of payload & towing of some lower trims/engine Ford F-250s, Chevy/GMC/RAM 2500s.
Also some mid-size pickup truck buyers who limited themselves to mid-size ICE only to save fuel might move up to Cybertryck because they can get large savings on fuel and get more capacity.
So the market for Cybertruck is more than just "full-size 1/2 ton truck".
There is no reason to exclude Cybertruck from fleets. We already know of people with intentions to buy more than 5 (some as many as 50) for fleet (not scalping) and that is just early adopters. Once Cybertruck is out there there will be more fleet orders.
i was agreeing with your point. 250K 1/2 ton trucks in retail is a sh*t ton.
and even emphasizing that your point wasn't strong enough
if CT manages to sell 250K/yr, it will be selling in the top 3ish of full sized (non-HD) truck sales on a unit basis
and to the extent it doesn't eat into 250/350 market or fleet market but still manages 250K/yr, it may be in the top 2 of retail 1/2 ton sales.
PS: i've long said the CT is more accurately considered a 3/4 ton truck, not a 1/2 ton truck, but people's heads explode when that discussion is had
