Tesla should stop calling it a Truck

[UCF3]

If Tesla never called it a truck would there be as much backlash? The name truck ruined everyone’s expectation. It’s not a truck and Tesla should stop calling it one

What exactly is a "truck"? To me, more specifically a 'pickup truck' it's a lifted vehicle that can tow and has an open bed to store things in.

"Not a Truck" at the reveal then renamed it Cybertruck later
