Even if I could afford one, or want one, which I don’t for many reasons, the vehicle is so ginormous that it would be the biggest pain in the ass in the world to drive around my city. Parallel parking? Forget it. Narrow side streets that are the width of a car, but somehow you need to let someone come down directly towards you and it’s not a one way? Bumpy roads full of potholes or worn down to the original brick roads, with the vehicle that’s tires wear out faster than any other due to the sheer weight?
Tell me about it. The Cybertruck is an inch and some change longer and 8" wider than my ratty full size 1990’s pickup, yet somehow manages to have only slightly over half the usable cargo volume – 42.80 cubic feet vs. 70.7. And I’m being extremely charitable by treating the Cybertruck’s bed area as if it were cubic starting from its tallest point by the back glass, when in fact it’s wedge shaped.
It also weighs 3269 pounds more (in its lightest configuration) and as we all know by now the Cybertruck’s towing and trailer tongue weight ratings are outright lies. Whereas millions of people have successfully lugged a combined total of billions of tons worth of boats, bikes, lawn mowers, and RV’s with GM and Ford pickups over the decades.
Even for the use case for someone who “needs” a truck, the Wankpanzer is a moronic choice.
