Elon sold his "minds eye"…
Elon sold his "minds eye" vision of an apocalytic vehicle to fanboys, and to anyone who might want one, whether because they actually liked the lines, or because they believed in "boat mode". He doesn't want it back. Because it's a losing proposition. Most people who liked it, bought one. Done deal ($$ grabbed), for Tesla. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see another year of "cybertruck". Surely even Elon can see the competition at Rivian. That is actually a truck. Very different, non-traditional truck, but actually a truck. Working people want vehicles to actually do things. Doing more things... hauling more things well, at lower cost, is the ultimate winner for a truck. And the "Cyber-truck", is the opposite, of that.
