PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Tesla cutting the Cybertruck and raising its price shows that niche, high-priced pickups struggle to achieve volume, and resources will contract toward mainstream models. In the same period, China's electric heavy-truck penetration reached 50% and EV shares in multiple European countries broke records, as electrification penetrates fully from passenger cars into commercial vehicles and the mainstream market.
