My thoughts exactly.
Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

The Maverick 4x4 HEV PU is supposed to do better than 35, but that is their real-world all-around calculation. I don't know the Ford lineup, but I do not think there is a similar SUV, but one of the 2 owners here also has a Toyota Highlander HEV, and it is supposed to get over 30. It is bigger.
Note that Maverick is a "compact" PU; the Ranger is a "midsize".
You can also get a camper shell for the Maverick. That PU is really a hot-selling truck.

Could've sworn I've seen one around in a sort of metallic orange.

Lightning can be a flop, as well as the CT, considering Teslas market power in EVs

Maybe shades of gray has SF market share?

Overall a crappy vehicle with weak front suspension. I had one years ago 'Maverick Grabber' and had to rebuild the front suspension at less than 30K miles as the front ball joints were shot as well as the 'A' arm bushings. Ford's 'better idea' was plastic insert joints and hard plastic bushings with no Alemite fittings. Car was a turd.

What I find interesting today is, you have to purchase a hybrid or a plug in EV to get MPG that isn't dismal. My 14 Focus RS turbo gets 40 mpg if I drive it conservatively with a normal ICE motor. No hybrid junk or fire trap battery required and with over 300 ponies on tap, it will suck the paint off all of them other than maybe a Tesla Plaid.
Seems to be that the automotive industry is going backwards not forwards and the price of ownership has risen to insane levels.
