If you can’t safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

    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.
