I think I've seen one, so far.  Is there something functional over the Ford pickup that is worthwhile?

Not that I can tell. In fact, some of the things they've done have made it even worse than the Ford (and literally every other pickup truck, ever). As Jalopnik reports:

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-s-bed-length-is-a-lie-1851544285

It turns out the Tesla Cybertruck’s quoted bed size is a bit of a lie if you actually want to carry anything substantial. Sure, it is technically six feet, one inch long, but an item that big will only fit the bed if it’s less than 6” tall. That’s not ideal if you want to use your Cybertruck for real truck things.

TikToker molesrcool posted the discovery to his page that as items get taller, the more unlikely it is that they will fit in the bed of a Cybertruck. It’s all because of the way Tesla designed the rear bulkhead of the truck’s cabin. It cuts into the bed length the higher you go up. That’s not a good piece of engineering, man.

...

That’s right. If the object you intend to carry is over 30” tall, it can only be 4” 11” because it no longer fits in the bed with the tailgate up. For reference, the Ford Maverick – the smallest truck on sale today in the U.S. – has a bed length only five inches shorter than that, and that truck is nearly two feet shorter in overall length.

...

As molesrcool correctly points out, there’s a very good reason that just about every other truck maker do their best to make their beds a perfect rectangle with a flat back; you can fit more of your shit in a rectangle than whatever shape the Cybertruck’s bed is. On top of that, other trucks don’t have those very high, sloping walls on either side of their beds that make getting things in and out more difficult.

So, yeah. A 6' truck bed that you can't fit very many 6' long things in.

So, folks buy them as a kind of statement?  The EV-150 would be more useful and usable?  At least the Tesla cars are decent as cars.

I rode in the Tesla Y, it seemed "fine", I guess.

Well, if you only rarely need a truck to do truck things, it may still do them moderately well. Maybe not as well as an F-150 Lightning. But maybe you don't need that. 

I can say that of all the CyberTrucks I've seen on the road, not a single one looked like a "work truck". The closest was one that was adorned with a business's graphics and I saw what looked to be a pump or something used for a pool service company on the trailer hitch. I.e. a "work truck" that could have been handled by a Ford Maverick or probably a van. I think the idea was that the truck attracting eyeballs would make it a more effective rolling billboard for the business than if it was a "conventional" pickup. 

But I don't see a lot of CTs that I think are running to and from the lumber yard, or full of a bunch of concrete tools, or used for a landscaping business. (Not that a lot of F-150 Lightnings that I've seen look like that either, to be fair. But I think they'd be more useful than the CT.)

the cyber truck isn't a truck

the E-mustang isn't a mustang

Tesla Quietly Erases Its ‘Climate Manifesto’ and Early History (autodrive.com.bd)

Kind of interesting, perhaps.  

Back in the day, Tesla was presented as an approach that would save us from Climate Change, it was their mantra, and a lot of enviro-types bought Teslas as a result.  They appear to be backing off that now, it's just cars.

And Musk of course has shed any "liberal aura of respectability".
