Finally, the most missed feature in a pick-up truck is here!
> The futuristic-looking truck has a bulletproof, stainless steel body and is “waterproof enough” to cross rivers like a boat, among a long list of claims that only seem beneficial during an apocalypse.
This, however might actually be useful, given the current geopolitical climate...
Man: "I'm a marketing manager who lives in the suburbs
and commutes to work on the highway. I live alone, so
of course I needed a car that can seat 12 and is
equipped to drive across arctic tundra...it just
makes me feel better!"
Woman: "The new Maibatsu Monstrosity...mine's bigger!"
Edit: expect a ~73mile range at 14k. For comparison an f250 towing 15k lbs gets about 9mpg. With a 55 gallon tank, the f250 is still a better option for practical reasons. Let’s revisit this 5 years after the cyber truck release
I guess another question would be - how often do pickups get used for towing, and how far do they normally go? I've heard that only rarely do people use the bed of their pickup, let alone tow.

You must have missed Elon's marketing pivot a some years ago from libertarian tech-utopianism to libertarian tech-dystopianism.
Indeed, you sound like the target market for the cybertruck, but if that's what you are feeling in SF, I seriously doubt that vehicle will solve your issue with never going outside.
It's quite difficult to enjoy all that the city has to offer from inside a vehicle, and there are certainly other places that can provide you in particular much more psychological safety than SF.
Sure, you could drive it from your own guarded parking in SF to a destination with guarded parking in SF, but that is a pretty limited set of places.
