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?
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.

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