Epickups will fail. Can't idle them for hours on end! Can't pull the mufflers off for the BOOM BOOM.

The L/W ratio impact would fall below plan view leading edge radii,body camber,plan taper,and boat-tailng.The L/H is the most important metric as far as aero drag goes,according to Hucho.I've never seen a counterfactual example,so I'll leave it at that.
Every other full size pickup also shares the Cybertruck's L/H.

Give no attention to driving while autopilot is engaged, then have a semi pull out in front of you.

Exactly what I was going to point out. L/H ratio is only part of the story.

Poke a cell pack or two with something long and ice pick like.

Take the battery to DEAD and recharge at a fast rate. Waaay overcharge.
