Thoughts on the Cybertruck?

@thisguy20 And a very good reason too.

So far almost all the public ones I've examined in the UK don't even take bank-cards, as some of the self-service petrol and Diesel pumps do, but demand a "smart"-'phone "app" that very likely adds an agency fee or pseudo-"subscription" to the electricity retail cost.

The electricity cost is also not displayed, at least not openly, but might vary by place and time of day anyway. I don't know if it shows on your 'phone when you use it.

I've been given to understand the EU insisted the chargers do offer the card option - perhaps not cash - but even though the UK was still in the EU at the time our government made no effort to enforce it. I have now seen one or two chargers with such fittings, but they still seem as rare as poultry dentures. The chargers themselves are not exactly numerous.*

This is particularly significant in the UK where anything from a third to half of all motorists (estimates vary) would have to use public chargers. They, including me, could not possibly charge an electric car at home - we simply have nowhere on our own land to park anything bigger than a bicycle. Many don't even have that.

* One motorway service-area I use occasionally, installed some of these things next to the building's main door. Cynically and needlessly, to make room for them, the managers moved the Disabled parking-bays from adjacent to the door to further away.

There's also a widespread belief than one such area, on the M3 approaching London, has its row of chargers powered by a Diesel generating set hidden in a nearby building! Errr, not quite what was intended...
