Watched the video, pretty fun. It really shows that the Cybertruck was designed around Musk's current paranoid obsessive personality.

It is critically flawed in almost every way except two: 1) it's fast as hell. And 2) IT TOOK A C4 CHARGE WITH A MINOR DENT! LOL

Nevertheless, in terms of use-case analysis, it's a sloppily designed truck. And while I have to admit the C4 thing was impressive, if we are thinking about it as some sort of quasi-military vehicle, then, while the C4 thing might be valuable, all of the other critical failures make it worthless and dangerous for that application.

Basically it didn't try to be a good truck because they tried to make it withstand gunfire and C4. And it's not good as a quasi-military vehicle because they tried to make it also a regular truck.
