What I love most about this thing is the “fuck you” to looking or functioning anything like a big brand, or any really, would produce.

Every truck, car, SUV is essentially the same shape with subtle styling differences unique to the brand.

And “truck guys” will hate it. That’s a huge turn on

You’ll see one with a lift and American force wheels on it soon enough.

isn't that a turn on of a ridgeline though too?

except, dare i say, a ridgeline is a far better functional piece than whatever the cybertruck may or may not be once it exists.

god i saw two ridgelines two weeks ago in central wisco at seperate times both with dead deer oooozing out the back

i wish id have gotten a pic for the real truck crew

For what reason is a ridgeline more functional than a cybertruck? The cybertruck has both a lower and higher suspension, storage under the bed, a larger bed than full sized pickups, 4 wheel steering, can undoubtedly tow more, way faster… etc…. Of course it’s more expensive but these days a ridgeline is flirting with $50k so it’s not exactly cheap either

every pic i've seen of the cybertruck bed has it look tiny as fuck?

ridgeline has underbed storage as well.

50k? i mean kinda?

does anyone actually care about 4 wheel steering? i mean these vehicles aren't big enough for it to matter, are they? or can people just really not drive

 

[Yaj Yak]

undoubtedly tow more? but... how far?

we've seen time and time again how poorly anything electric does towing range-wise.

 

[Yaj Yak]

is way faster a functional attribute of a pickup truck?

if anything that's a novelty at best to me.

my old truck running high 13's was just hilariously fun. it's not like it was a functional benefit at that point.

 

[Jimbo]

Now tow in the cold!

 

[Yaj Yak]

a functional benefit... being able to reach over the side of the bed.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Now tow in the cold!

don't turn the heat on, only use the seat warmers, of course, also i really hope it was in a heated garage before you left. kthanks

The Tesla Cybertruck's Actual Bed Looks Even Less Usable Than the Concept's

The Cybertruck's bed seems to have undergone some big design compromises on the path to production, compared to Tesla's earlier renders.

Looks like a tub to cut up some fresh road kill in.

The rumor is that they have been shipping production units to customers under an NDA until the release event the 30th of this month and they can say “we’ve already delivered 1000 of them” or something similar

I would never accept a vehicle with misaligned panels like that. Crazy!

This isn't true. I have an F150.........and have a pre-order in for a Cyber Truck.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the payload claims are really holding me up too. didn't father E claim to exceed F150 payload capacity?

isn't there some unicorn f150's with 3k+ payload ratings?

 

[Yaj Yak]

godalmighty the hummer ev is over 10k curb weight


edit looks like... around 9k empty.
fucker needs a D plate empty?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

to be fair, elon prob does know more about manufacturing than anyone else on earth because he micromanages every single aspect of the entire process and started a car company from scratch, which is pretty nuts.

this thing is still ugly but people love attention so i'm sure it'll sell like crazy. Like 95% of half ton trucks sold today, it'll never be used to do "truck stuff" (certainly won't be used to tow even short-ish distances)

the hummer EV is a hell of a failure for sure

We've been through this before. He bought controlling interest of the company when they were still years away from actually building anything. Bought in in 2004 and they didn't make their first car until 2008, with the first mass-produced car in 2012.

So yeah he damn near started from zero, they certainly weren't manufacturing anything when he bought in.
