We like our 2020 Leaf. 60K miles on it so far. Zero Problems. Better interior than a Tesla Model 3

If I had to hazard a guess, 99.999998 percent of all Cybertruck truck owners aren’t using their trucks for actual truck stuff,

The styling looks like a mid-century version of an Aztek. Less frippery and fussiness, but still ugly AF.

Now it makes sense why they don’t like a diversity of plants in their pure grass lawn.

I like encouraging dandelions to grow on my lawn because it pisses off my neighbors who can’t do a damn thing about it.

Heard someone describe Teslas as, “Imagine if you blew your budget designing the electronics for the Terminator, so you had to stuff them into a store manikin. That’s what it’s like to be in a Tesla.”

Seriously, same. I have been quoted in articles on this site, and I’m still in the greys?!

Makes purrfect sense that it can carry a 5'10", 300lb orange elderly man. Elon has made trumps funeral hearse, without anyone realizing it. 

I remember reading that grass lawns became popular because it was a way to flex your wealth. "Look at all this land, I'm so rich I'll just grow grass instead of crops." These trucks are the new grass lawns.

And yet people keep buying them. I just don't understand. 

In this truck’s defense, lots of things might appear shorter than advertised, but the key is knowing where to measure from. I’d think many Cybertruck owners know what I’m getting at.

The problem is that the aesthetics/styling of the thing speaks to having made the absolute worst engineering choices from the get-go. Right from the materials choices to steering to tyres. At every damn turn, they made shit decisions.

So those length dimensions are only 2 ft longer than the enclosed cargo space in my Fiat 500 Abarth (with back seats down, which they always are). And I do truck things with my Fiat including hauling 10 bags of mulch, or 1/6 of a cord of firewood, or 600 lb of concrete sacks, or 8-ft lengths of lumber (yes they stick…

The diagonal size is shorter, too. I recall the Cybertruck bed is 48" wide, whereas most truck beds are more like 66" wide at the front and back (but narrower between the wheels). Pythagoras says the diagonal length of my 6.5' Tundra bed is 8.5', while it’s 7.25' on the CT. That extra foot helps all the time with…

This thing is such a mess. Put aside styling aesthetics or feelings about the CEO and just looking at how it’s designed an put together and they really screwed a lot up. It’s a worse tow vehicle then their own Model X. It sucks as an actual truck from a loading and capacity perspective. Lots of things failing like…

In the Tesla Cybertruck’s defense, it’s awful in plenty of other ways, too!

The big problem is how the US government defines a light truck. While common sense is that a light truck is a body on frame vehicle with a variety of after market truck beds available for various commercial uses. Of course the pickup bed should carry 4 x 8 sheets of plywood, drywall, siding, etc. And the unibody “truc…

One does not buy a Cybertruck for truck things. In the same way that one did not buy a Ford Explorer Sport Trac or a Subaru Baja for truck things.

Everything Tesla says is a lie. Everything its CEO says is a lie. And the shareholders just voted to give him the biggest payday in history, so that company deserves to collapse and be ground into dust.

Who actually plans on using the Cybertruck as a pick-up to haul things? It’s a status symbol. Like the people who buy off-road vehicles that will never allow a spot of mud on them.
