You're still not comparing apples to apples. The people who actually need something like this (not this specifically because we both agree it's bad) would not be using it to tow just a small trailer. I agree the cyber truck is bad but the comparison still makes no sense.
If you believe them, Tesla says the cyber truck can have a 2500lb payload and tow 11000 lbs. That's a whole different ballgame than your geo metro which officially doesn't even have a towing capacity.
Some people actually use trucks for their intended purposes instead of a status symbol.
