No. Everyone with a product to sell will claim they've created epochal change (as does anyone who buys the product).
If the cybertruck sells well we might see less airbnbification of cars at least.
I'd guess it won't. If it were the first EV it'd be a big deal, or even the first EV truck, but it's just the first EV truck from Tesla. Are there other reasons to expect societal change from a truck?
No I rarely drive. I also don't like the tradeoffs for refilling/recharging. Teslas have high toy value mostly afaict which probably makes driving more fun. afaict their self-driving isn't there yet so that's not a reason to "get yours today!" Their car owner culture also reminds me of Apple's, which is fine, but with a 100x entry price and less focused leadership.
Primarily I like that it looks weird and is bullet proof.
