I was watching a Cybertruck driver “test the truck’s wade mode,” and was treated to some accidental comedy. Check this out: “Wow, What a Beast!” Here’s the Non-Exhaustive List of Damages The drive is pretty uneventful, but the aftermath? It’s pretty eventful. The repair bill just keeps multiplying. The driver reports: The craziest part is […]
If you can’t safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?
They’re just coping with the fact they spent 6 figures on this giant piece of shit so they convince themselves their investment was worth it because truck go brrr
Yeah, at this point they know they got conned, and they either have to admit that or double down and act wildly impressed at its ability to, like, drive on an unpaved road.
I read a while back that many of them were shocked the cyber truck didn’t fit in regular parking spaces. In other words, these are people that, for the most part, have never owned a large pickup before. The obvious conclusion is that they bought it for cred or because they think it looks cool, not because they actually need a vehicle that size.
That’s a common theme, yes. They’ve clearly never owned a pickup truck, and don’t realise what they have is actually pretty bad by pickup truck standards.
majority of them dont haul construciton/cargo equipment of any kind, a small dick compensator. i only ever seen the smaller trucks do that, the biggers likely dont have the space for it. i have nearby neighbor who has a big almost lifted green truck, yea you arnt hauling any materials that i ever seen you do, plus your “wife” is a soccer mom karen who bought a tesla.
Yes, yes we do. I own a 24,000lbs tandem trailer that I haul large stuff heavy stuff with at times. Sometimes 300 miles one way. I have a good reason to own a pickup truck that says Hemi on the side…
Those swave and deboner urbane urbanites seldom have an actual use for a pickup truck. But there are places where the trucks wear the scratches and dents of their hard use proudly.
Well, not a boat, a 30’ Airstream. And I haul a ton of pellets several times each year. I also find myself moving heavy or large items throughout the year with it. No, you can’t really rent one to do those things like everyone claims - or the rentals would cost as much as owning the pickup would.
I’m not in the US, but everyone I know who has that type of vehicle is an outdoorsy type, who wants a vehicle with lots of cargo space, high ground clearance, and often towing capacity. Having the cargo area separate from the passenger cabin is also useful for carrying wet, smelly or dirty stuff.
They usually have a canopy on the vehicle as well.
In the US, actually using them for cargo or towing would put you in a small minority. The last research I saw said towing is only done by 10% of owners a year.
I haven’t seen the stats on cargo in the bed, but I imagine it’s MUCH lower since most of these trucks are expensive and shiny. The last time I tossed a bunch of furniture in the bed the person I was buying it from was worried I’d scratch the paint in the bed.
Truck fans in the US are weird and so common now that they look at you strange if you want to use it for actual truck stuff.
😃 Worried about scratching the print job? Tell that to the shovels, hammers, cables and other random work stuff I threw in there. Oh wait, some people don’t use a truck like a tool.
I wonder if it would be cool to own an excavator and never dig anything with it. At least the bucket would stay yellow.
You can go on you tube and search for “mini excavators” or “mini skid steers” if you want to see machinery lawn ornaments. Now, there are plenty of people that own mini excavators that really use them for making a living. But theirs either say Kubota or Bobcat on the side and cost a LOT more than the $2500 these guys paid for the one they just drive around their little suburban acreage.
Same here. Those cars are so expensive to own, that you don’t ever even think of getting one unless you really really need it for a specific purpose. However, I’ve heard that Americans don’t think that way.

I mean, I don’t think a lot of pickup drivers are aware of the fact that their giant ass truck doesn’t fit in a regular parking space
They’re aware, I’m sure, but there isn’t much they can do about it if they need to park there. Even Home Depot and Lowe’s have this issue.
That’s a common theme, yes. They’ve clearly never owned a pickup truck, and don’t realise what they have is actually pretty bad by pickup truck standards.
That also might explain why they think it’s so awesome. They’ve nothing to compare it to.
What about the other people who drive a pickup truck? Do they actually haul cargo or tow a boat?

I do, but I know you’re just trying to gatekeep.

ive seen the smallers one haul construction materials never the bloated giant ones that conservatives love to lift the trucks.

Saw a YouTube video of a guy thoroughly impressed with the glue they use to put cyber trucks together. Glue
Industrial glue is on another level. The Cybertruck is a piece of trash, but modern epoxies are wild.
its sharp enough to cut carrots and deer in half.
truck no go brrrr. truck go …
(because it broke haha)
