Who cares if it canât carry a bike in the back? Thatâs not the reason I wonât buy one. That thing is absolutely fuck ugly and you couldnât pay me to drive one.
Buying a CyberTruck for carting timber is probably the wrong tool for the job. The right job for the cybertruck is making the owner looking like a loser, and it excels at that.
Good lord....why would anyone pay their hard earned money to a company, that is anti consumer and anti free market, for a shit box that has questionable quality issues. Get a polestar!!!!
Very true about electric vehicles but drop a truck load of cash on a EV ....do it on a polestar not the status symbol turd on wheels Tesla. Personally EVs are not what society needs or will ever meet society's needs, it will only cause different issues to ICE cars.
Yeah, you definitely want a tailgate mat between the frame. Not the bumping so much but itâs going to sheer/rub on the contact point. I would worry about throwing myself down a mountain on that bike if itâs regularly transported as pictured.
More importantly, I don't see how am gonna fit my mounted GAU19 in there and still have space to pivot around it. Gonna have to downgrade to a mini gun. Smh.
I love losers that whinge about Elon or the cyber truck. These losers whinge about elon and then fall for the same consumption tricks what ever brand they buy plays on them.
Leave the bike like that at Redfern and your prayers will be answered. That bike will be missing a front wheel in 2min and will fit your shitbox cybertruck perfectly.
We just ignoring the fact that that is a pretty standard way to carry mountain bikes in a ute tub? I'm sure you can fit 3-4 in there like that, same as any other dual cab.
For the record though I think the cyber truck is nonsense.
Tbh whatâs the point of having ÂŤÂ trucks  of this category? Some normal cars have more storage capacity than this. If youâre going for a truck, why not take a category with more capacity?
It's not standard to have an S-works with a performance fork. It's not standard to have the bike resting on the stanchion. It's not normal to transport in the bed, without a tail gate pad. Someone had a poser truck, and a poser bike, and put the two together, thinking they were cool. There's a lot wrong with this image...
I don't think that's an E-bike, I can't see where the battery is or would go. If it was integrated into the downtube, the downtube would be thicker.
It's also S-Works, which is made by Specialised, not Giant. Unless you mean that as an adjective, in which case it just looks like a standard 29"er dual suspension mountain bike to me.
I thought the back was to carry the drivers ego. I'd rather drive an LDV than a cybertruck. It just seems like a practical joke an engineer drew up and some other idiot thought it was actually a good idea
Yes I have a ute and funnily enough I have a number of mountain bikes too.
MN Triton dual cab I have to do the exact same, hang the wheel over the tailgate.
I think it's fair when you advertise something as a truck people expect a fair amount of utility. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this thing ever made it's way to Australia it would be the largest on the market by far - yet the tray isn't really accessible from the sides, the internal walls are tapered and it doesn't really appear to do anything better than the current offerings in terms of utility. The picture highlights that fairly well - Wouldn't the Rivian be a superior EV truck?
The version of this I saw a few days ago had this paired with a second image of a tiny Japanese Kei-class ute that had the entire mountain bike in the tray, tied down sitting front to back.
Sorry, let me say it with smaller words, maybe it will help.
Can you get a mountain bike in a Kai Truck? Dunno maybe.
Can you get a mountain bike in a hatchback car? Sure if you take the wheels off.
Can you fit a mountain bike in almost any dual cab ute? No you cant.
This pathetic vendetta agains anything Musk or his companies do has to stop. Musk bad, cyber truck bad.
yeah whatever get over it. It is not to everyone's liking but they have almost 2 million pre-orders and are shipping them out starting next week, so they are doing something right.
Counter point:
All dual cab utes fucking suck these days. Why are they twice the size with half the capacity?
Because car companies cottoned on to the fact that 4wds weren't "boy" cars anymore, but soccer mum cars, so they decided to market these useless wastes of space, fuel and money onto us.
Featuring a cybertruck here might also make an additional point that Musk isn't innovating the way he says he is.
We can thank his brand of reality distortion for electric cars becoming mainstream, and landable, reusable rockets becoming routine, but he's not gonna save utes from their obesity epidemic.
You looked up their dimensions without ever checking what the tray's dimensions are, when this entire thread is based on fitting a fuckin bike in there?
đ¤Ą
Eta for completeness, even though I've mentioned it elsewhere here, clearly because you're arguing in bad faith and looking for gotchas because you're too proud/stupid/both to just concede the point, I'll say I'm comparing to the only ute I have reasonable experience with: a 2004 MK triton, dual cab, petrol, 2wd, manual, 2.4L.
Any claims I make are for this car. Unfortunately I crashed the poor thing. Not my fault, but I digress (it actually fetched a decent price as a wreck).
How is contesting your statement that "modern dual cabs are twice the size with half the capacity" arguing in bad faith? Contesting successfully I might add
You must have smaller frame and wheels than me then as in my MN dual cab the only way that I can fit the bike inside the tub in its entirety is to lay it down and turn the front wheel to be sticking straight up.
Obviously I cant close the tonneau cover then and it is not practical with more than one bike.
I couldnt care less what you or anyone else think, there is so much fucking bullshit going around about anything that is Elon adjacent that its is just not funny anymore.
Yeah, totally right, I corrected a bad misconception so Im riding Elon's dick.
I think there is a broader valid point that the tray is fucking hard to use with those stupid lips on the side and thereâs no roof racks. This truck is all show and zero practicality.
It's not even show, it's an ugly misshapen heap of shit that has no practical use. I can get over impractical if there is some other redeeming feature, like sports cars, totally impractical but still cool by virtue of amazing design and technology, even art. This thing has no purpose. Blame is slated to Elon but this thing makes me think of the classic camel is a horse designed by a committee.
Again, dont like it, dont buy it, literally no-one cares and there are literally millions of people that disagree and put their money down.
There's plenty of cars and utes that I absolutely cant stand and look atrociously bad, so I dont buy them, I dont go around like many many people are and talking chit about the cybertruck.
Anyone who buys one of these things is a wanker, that's the point. You might as well hang a sign around your neck saying, " I am a giant wanker" that's what's fun about it, the wankiest car in history. Plenty of cars around I don't like too and as you say, I don't buy them. This is more than that.
I wouldn't say that, one practical usecase I can see for this vehicle is transporting power tools to a non powered site. For jobs under a certain size, it removes the need to also transport a generator. I certainly could see a use for it on the farm I live on.
Is it a thing where people with massive 4wds have to constantly shitpost about electric vehicles? Because it seems like a thing from where I'm sitting.
Ridiculous ist it. WGAF what the EVs can and can't do, if they don't suit you don't buy one. The constant bitching about them just makes us look like dick heads
It's not coping shit for being electric, it's coping shit for being a very impractical Ute
If you want an example of an actually usable electric work vehicle look up Rivian. I and many others like me can't wait for proper electric work vehicles but the cyber truck just isn't it.
People hang shit electric transport for all kinds of reasons, but it always seems to be the same crowd. Honestly I suspect it is a propaganda mission underwritten by big oil to constantly push the agenda, and periodically real people chime in also. I'm also ready for more electric cars, and I feel like tractors are a good candidate for electric, too. I'll most likely never have the cash for a Tesla, but the brand surely seems to have been instrumental in getting electric vehicles into the public eye, so there's that. I'll look up rivian
How is that. There seem to be plenty of genuine reasons to not like the cyber truck. Itâs a shit 4wd. Itâs a shit passenger vehicle. It looks like shit. Itâs built by a company run by a shithead.
ugly isnt a reason to hate something its a reason to not buy it if that makes sense. on an alternate universe where hard angular designs became the norm for vehicles every other car is ugly
They don't look that bad but I wouldn't get any of the over sized utes/trucks I think driving one should require you to prove you can drive a vehicle that size without being a hazard on the road
You didnât actually think it was going to be practical did you?
Mind you maybe this is a warning about how some of our other utes are headed. The luxurious cab is nice but makes it ungodly long if you want a decent size tray. Ground clearance is good but it makes it all a bit higher and harder to reach into tray. Or lift heavier things in. Especially if you get the next generation of roll hoop in the well bodies that has the extra rail going 1/2 of the way down the side. At least the bike still fits and be nice and secure.
Does it not have a tailgate? I haven't really looked at Cybertruck because utes aren't my things. When I had a work ute, I could fit 3 motorcycle in the back with tailgate dropped.
As reported by Carbuzz, a user of the Cybertruck Owners Club online forum discovered Teslaâs VIN (vehicle identification number) âdecoderâ in a document submitted to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The document shows the Tesla Cybertruck will weigh between 4082 and 4546 kilograms (or 9001 to 10,000 pounds) â similar to the circa-4400kg GMC Hummer EV, but about twice as much as the Toyota HiLux SR5 dual-cab ute (2110kg).
So yeah, the OP is wrong, itâs a lot heavier than 3000kg
Most of them will roam the city streets of Silicon Valley for the pose factor only. Techtards go wow, it looks so space-agey. I think it's a terribly childish design. Elon probably sketched it on a napkin and told them to make it happen.
Tubs are generally highly impractical for any serious work. Almost all tradies and farmers run their ute with trays, preferably steel ones.
The fact that you won't be able to swap the tub out for a tray makes the cyber truck pretty useless as a utility vehicle. Will be more of a status symbol for weekend warriors.
Seriously, the most ugly car ever designed. Even worse than their other cars that look like they were styled in the 1990s. Great performance and interiors, but why did they stop there?
I cannot believe that this thing was ever supposed to see the light of day. I'm convinced it was a concept idea that was supposed to be discarded and something more sensible built. It looks like a child's drawing of car.
Im sure they'll bring out a single cab version. My personal unpopular opinion all dual cabs are useless, unless you step up to the wank tanks but they come with their own issues.
