IIRC it doesn't do the pickup thing all that well, other than that the purpose of pickups nowadays is mostly as a status symbol. It's kinda surprising, I live in a wealthy mountain town full of electrics but have only ever seen one (1) cybertruck in person.
Edit: UPDATE: saw two today, both had been painted (lol)
I have seen more of them in LA, but it doesn't look like the number is increasing.
I have regular path when walking daily. And there's one person who has model 3, and past year I saw cybertruck showing up there too. First I saw it there connected to charger sometimes it was gone, looked like it was used.
Last month I saw it just covered, for some time and last 3-4 days it is gone. Either the owner went somewhere for a longer trip or he sold it.
The truck is expensive and didn't deliver on its promises, so I think it only became a statement, status symbol, tool to grab attention of others, but at least with the last one it is often getting not the attention the owners desire.
I think right now it is a very expensive MAGA hat.
I live in Washington State and see them all the time. They are definitely purchased as a status symbol more than for its usefulness.
