a bicycle does not fit in the bed of the cybertruck




Pretty normal way to put a bicycle in a pickup bed anyway. Needs a tailgate mat is all.

Because no trucks are regular cabs anymore.

Lack of tailgate mat is cursed because that is a carbon frame on a lg-diswasher-thick-piece-of-stainless

It also won't fit in the bed of any of the other 4 door pickups with tiny beds running around (most of them)

Most 4-door pickups have 6’ beds. Maverick and Santa Cruz, Explorer Sport Trac, et al excepted.

Edit: those are less Pickups more like utes, I guess.

Nah it’s because with a tailgate pad it’s a much nicer way of carrying around a bike than tossing it in the bed even if the bed is big enough.

But yeah good god no pad on that is making my teeth itch.

You guys misunderstand. Cybertruck is not intended to be an actual truck. It's a lifestyle statement. Only the truly hip can understand and appreciate it.

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy with how many people are clowning on that pic. Bicycles aren't very compatible with beds no matter what, they are awkward shaped through and through, hanging the wheel over the back is very convenient.

I would not put children in any vehicle which has electrically actuated door latches which may become inoperable in an emergency, so is there anyone who can sit safely in the third row?

If you define "safely" as "maximizing desired survival outcome" then maybe people you don't like?

Little people maybe.

They’d avoid decapitation, but the door situation still isn’t great.

The cybertruck looks like something someone built in their shed (constantly changing their minds about the design) over the last 15 years, infuriating their wife and spending way too much money on it leading to the inevitable divorce.

Did you catch a joke probation, make a super embarrassing post complaining about it, and need some holiday cheer to get you back in the shitposting spirit?

Then sign up for Automotive Insanity's Secret Santa! Some goon will send you a random assortment of items, mostly some broken car parts, and there is an option for penis-emblazonment. I have enjoyed it so much over the years that I volunteered to pick up the mantle from slothrop and organize it for 2023. So come on down and spread the holiday cheeks cheer!

People that willingly do that on public roads need to have their drivers license table away forever.
That said, I could see why a bucks-down person would risk it. Tow services are some predatory motherfuckers.

Counterpoint, the USAA-contracted tow company once tried to convince me to drive my FiST 10 miles to the mechanic after getting into a head-on collision. (It was in a parking lot and not bad, but gently caress if I was driving my car after that. The mechanic was horrified that they pressured me to drive it.)

Bp at some stations has the pumps switched, everywhere else it's green for diesel, seen a few bps where gasoline was green and black was diesel, all on the same pump. Almost hosed my wife's car up because of it before but caught it because the nozzle is bigger.

When I drove interfacility ambulance we had that every few months from new hires or tired people. Some of our squads were diesel, others were gas. Really easy to gently caress up after a long shift and from someone dead tired or brand new.

I think there's some sort of EU standard where gasoline is green handle, diesel is black, E85 is usually blue. When leaded gas still existed it had a red handle.

Yup that's how it is in Europe. Was quite surprised to hear that it's opposites in the US.

i had a class mate of mine give me a free tank of "gas" from his dad's fuel drums damned near 30 years ago now and it turned out to be leaded avgas that my 240DL did not know how to deal with. the thing sputtered and puttered through the whole tank and then i had to replace the plugs afterwards.

Avgas doesn't actually atomize as well as mogas, so you really do need to be tuned for it. You can't just throw it in and expect to go fast because it has a lower vapor pressure to prevent fuel lines vapor locking at 30k+ feet.
