Comment on Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles
joemo@lemmy.sdf.org 5 months agoOk, now try to do the things that trucks are typically used for in your geo metro. Towing, transporting construction tools and materials, etc.
I’m not defending Elon because I think the truck looks dumb and is over priced, but you gotta compare apples to apples.

i had a hitch on my 96 metro. so, yeah. and a geo metro totin a tiny trailer looks a hell of a lot less silly than that silver monstrosity
i do see your point. but i think it misses main the issue here; that this isnt a good vehicle let a lone truck.

You’re still not comparing apples to apples. The people who actually need something like this (not this specifically because we both agree it’s bad) would not be using it to tow just a small trailer. I agree the cyber truck is bad but the comparison still makes no sense.
If you believe them, Tesla says the cyber truck can have a 2500lb payload and tow 11000 lbs. That’s a whole different ballgame than your geo metro which officially doesn’t even have a towing capacity.
Some people actually use trucks for their intended purposes instead of a status symbol.

Can we stop pretending people buying this monstrosity are going to use it like a farm implement. Lmao! Best chance of seeing one of these in the wild will be at a golf course clubhouse.
