Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money

  How are you going to treat it like a real truck? You can’t load anything on it.

    Yeah, it’s incredibly disappointing that the bed is only 4x6 at the bottom. I can’t find any info for the dimensions at the top of the box, if that makes sense. Normal trucks have a much wider bed above the wheel wells for wider things like mattresses or awkwardly shaped things like kayaks.

    The 2500lb payload is on par for a standard pickup, but with a back bed wall shaped like ¿, it’s difficult to even know what would fit or how well.

      4x6 isn’t bad…I’d even say it’s a great compromise…

      For a mid-size pickup.

      Owning a mid-size, I’ve never been limited by anything that I would want to put into the bed of a full size (anything that large is too damn heavy to want to lift up that high).

      Long boards (10’+) are a little inconvenient - they get strapped down on top of the tailgate.

      But a full-size with that bed? Why would you buy a full size if not for the larger bed? (Well, bigger cab too).

        It’s definitely for the bigger cab and longer bed. You can tie a 14" kayak down in a 6ft bed with the tailgate down without any other supports. A shorter bed and you’ll have to use one of those tail gate hitch things.

    So, very similar to many other trucks then.

      Most trucks are just stupid. This one is profoundly stupid.

  Anyone who is going to spend that much on a truck is going to care about the dents.

  Let’s be real, if you want an EV and a real truck, you’re going to buy an F-150 Lightning, Silverado EV, or RAM EV and get a truck that’s at least somewhat compatible with normal truck accessories, and has a service network that’s not going to just offer you Uber credits when you need to get to a jobsite
