I think the greenhouse is meant to invoke the lines of something like a '58 Impala (which is a chevy, but, whatever) with the reverse A pillar, wrap-around windshield glass, and sloping rear, but the silhouette definitely does have a bit of a humvee vibe for sure since the car is much more angular than something from the 1950s.

Agreed on the front fascia; put a jeep fascia on the front, lift it up to an SUV ride height and I think you've got the next new FCA shitheap to sell to lifestyle idiots

I just bought a Solex 3800. Think I can flip it to a Cybertrvvck owner as a reliable way home? $20K maybe?  (not mine) Picking it up tomorrow. Not sure if it'll fit in the bed of a Tesla

Safety Dance posted:Is that a gas motor on the front? Yeah they use a traction motor up front. There is a handle that you use to lower the motor onto the front tire once you’re moving and it both starts the motor and provides the propulsion. The one we have is a really ratty one but it occasionally works. My son has described it as both the worst bicycle and the worst motorcycle at the same time.

The amount of poo poo my 500 Abarth used to haul would put that “truck” to shame. Hell on occasion we still use my FiST to pick up more bags of animal feed than that if we happen to be out and about in it.

You have to realise that like a lot of truck buyers, Cybertruck owners want to reassure themselves of their manliness and their purchase hence you get performative nonsense like the above and they video of the guy who thought he was 'off roading' on a nice smooth dirt track. These are little boys with spending money and an ego that needs a good massage every now and again. They're just wanting their dad to say 'you did good, kid'.

I fit a 50" sony rear projection HD tv from like 2004 into the back seat of a Volvo 240 by removing the back seat. I've also used a different Volvo 240 to pull railroad ties around a hilly yard we were landscaping, and none of the wheels broke off or anything.

Yeah, that seems pretty accurateJonny Nox posted:I've shipped that much dirt in a Spark It was probably easier to load into the trunk as well. In the Cyber thing you have to reach over the tailgate, so you're absolutely not lifting with your legs. Anytime I had to load heavy objects into my Chevy Silverado, I would either unclip the tailgate or close it, and load it over the top. It wasn't worth back problems otherwise. I don't think this Twitter user did either.

My mom regularly purchases like 10 bags of topsoil at the store in the summertime (since she uses a lot of it for gardening and they usually have discounts for larger quantities anyway) and literally never in all my years did I stop to think that "hmm, you'd certainly need a gently caress you large truck to fit these in" because they fit in the trunk of most any car just fine. They aren't that heavy either, sure you'll notice there's some load in the trunk but that's it.

Someone needs to take one for the team here. Buy a cyber cuck and flood Twitter with @elons by buying a box of screws, a single claw hammer, one 1x6 deck board a Case of water, package of poo poo tickets etc.... take pictures of each of them in the back at one time post an @elon on Twitter with a whole screed of "OH THANK GOD FOR MY CYVER CUCK I COULDNT HAVE CARRIED THIS BOARD IN MY F150" "HEY ELON USING THE CYBER oval office AS GOD INTENDED KEEPING MY TOILET PAPER SAFE ON THE DRIVE BACK FROM COSTCO" "LOVE THE CYBER COCK BUILDING A DECK AND NEEDED THESE SCREWS TO FINISH IT OFF HASHTAG ELECTRIC LYFE" and so on

The gen1 prius here regularly hauls around a ton worth of trailer. At 300k it killed its second or third gen1 battery cells. We replaced them with gen2 cells. The owner wants to get a gen2 and cut the roof off to make a "prickup" ute conversion. Gonna help him with that probably this summer.

There's no way that Tesla doesn't have some sort of insane ToS that let's them silence some critics E: I think we're missing the trees for the forest here. People think that this is what a pickup is for, moving dirty, outdoors stuff that you don't want on the inside of your car. I don't want to get the trunk of my car dirty either, that's why when I'm moving things like dirt, or wood, or whatever, I lay down a blanket or a tarp I hate pulling the lazy card, because it's always the easiest excuse, but I've worked at Home Depot long enough to see that people get pretty motivated to avoid paying $20 to rent the pickup. Is truck ownership just the "have and not need" idiom taken to its logical extreme? The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Apr 8, 2024 |

Payload capacity on the cybertruck isn't actually terrible. Based on the ratings it's over 3000lbs which is a 3/4 ton truck. GMs own numbers for the Hummer is 1300lbs payload which is less than a Camry. The issue is how chicken poo poo the suspension components are and how the brakes and steering constantly fail when driving it off the lot empty. All these dudes with "Ben Shapiro holding a small board in a plastic home depot bag" energy are trying to justify a vehicle they don't need and it's hilarious.
