My tesla model s is about 10 years old now and it's cost of ownership is far lower than any gasoline car I have had. These cars were expensive to buy (but getting cheaper) but are far far far cheaper to own. You can look at the article you are commenting on and see that economists are predicting that total cost of ownership of EVs will be lower than gasoline cars by 2025.

As far as the cybertruck ... this is just the stupidity elon musk has been affected by lately. The cybertruck body is supposed to be made by a fancy new method which Tesla has a lot of problems bringing to mass manufacturing. Rivian is making ev trucks and suvs that are quite popular.
