Looking forward to the prop master interview in 30 years where they say they wanted a cybertruck, but couldn't find a running one so they had to rebuild the body on some other manufacturer's stock chassis.
Putting all your chips on musk’s legacy being portrayed negatively huh? What would you do if he successfully gets the historic record to recognize him as a god?

there's no future where all cybertrucks haven't been bricked* 30 years from now

This is a sound investment! Cybertruck will join the club of past death traps like the Pinto and lemons like the Edsel. I'm old enough to remember the 80s movie where Kathleen travels back in time to the 60s and absolutely clowns on her sucker dad for buying a Edsel.
Kathleen Turner in the 1986 film Peggy Sue Got Married is playing along with the timewarp, trying to pretend to be a teenager in 1961 but she starts blowing her cover with "Oh, Dad -- you bought an Edsel! Hahahahahahahahaha"
Replacing every part of the system that connects to the internet so that it can't be bricked remotely and still works under its own power when activated.
BTTF salvaged it from being an obscure footnote in American automotive history into being a pop culture icon, a few years after DeLorean Motor Corporation was defunct.
I don't see the Cybertruck getting the same image rehabilitation.
It's just going to be the chassis standing surrounded by a pile of plastic panels once the glue they used to put it together starts to degrade, which will probably be within this decade

. . .will probably be done by Hollywood once the dust from this mayhem all settles.
Heck, I might well buy a ticket to that.
If it's not going to drive it's the set dressing department.

Would have to keep it like the Mona Lisa: in a glass display with perfect humidity and temperature control.

While people certainly joke about using one in a remake, the guy who owns the remake rights said firmly no remakes, ever.
(You can structure an estate to bar the use of said rights)
They're probably gonna bury cybertrucks like ET Atari cartridges in a mass grave
