  The main reason I bought a truck was to tow heavy shit, and this piece of fuck trash Cyber truck can’t even do that without the battery failing after less than 100 miles. Meanwhile an F150 can tow six times it’s own weight thousands of miles.

    I’m surprised you mentioned the battery (which is a problem with any EV towing), and not the fact the hitch can just snap off if you hit a pothole hard enough.

    The one person I know who owns a cyber truck was upset when I didn’t call him when I had a truck needing emergency, my wife’s car had broken down on a freeway offramp. The people that own these stupid things are cos playing as truck people even moreso than the average truck owner. The weirder part of his upsetness is, I was already driving a 3/4 truck because my commuter vehicle was not running. All I had to do was go get a uhaul trailer and go get her car. My mind is still boggled that he threw a fit about not calling him.

      LOL. I have a truck for towing and other truck-related things and am quite happy to help others with aforementioned truck activities when asked. The amount of times I get upset when people don’t call me to do truck things is like, hmmmm let’s see…zero. It is zero times. A shrug is all I might manage to evoke from the drama.

        It was the weirdest shit. He doesn’t know anything about towing or hauling. His cybertruck is the first truck like vehicle he has ever owned and for some reason his ego tells him he’s qualified to help. Its probably his total lack of experience that caused his upset.

        To redeem him a bit he is incredibly willing to help people. He’s just got more money than brains and experience lol.

        Do you get upset when people move without calling you? 😄

    Well that would make you in the 10% of people actually using their truck

      I bought a truck as a back up to my daily and weekend warrior, purely for towing and dirty jobs.

      Always used my daily with a tow hitch for most things and honestly still pick it with a 6x8’ trailer on occasion over my truck often because it’s easier to maneuver…

      A few of us exist

    Tbf it’s kinda a fundamental limitation of electric vehicles vs gas that the energy density of gas is way higher.

  Value is harder to deliver than hype.
