My Chevy Bolt gets more range at a fraction of the cost and I love it. I charge it at work for free and it has been an extremely reliable car for a couple years now.
I mean yes but not really comparable to what's supposed to be a pick up truck. It's no different than saying your Prius is more efficient than an F150 lol
Calling the cybertruck a Pickup is hularious, you cant fit jack shit in there. So it is more comparable to the bolt than a f150 IMO
There are a lot of pictures on Facebook of people carrying decent sized loads - I saw a stack of drywall, a significant pile of lumber, and some motorbikes. I think it's smallness is exaggerated
I just wish they had made a modular bed design like every other pickup ever. Cyber truck would be an ideal platform for a professional welder, if he could only flat deck it. Dudes carry a high output generator anyways, in theory they could run their welder off the tesla battery, run their welding genny as needed, and never be stuck out on a pipeline somewhere with a dead electric truck.
You can't even fit a bicycle in a cyber truck. You're not gonna be hauling anything.
F150s and the like often have a bigger tank to counteract the lower efficiency. The headline at least is about range, which is made of a combination of battery capacity and efficiency.
Yeah, but an F150 is useful. The Tesla Truck isn't.
My electric bike gets more range than a Chevy Bolt and I love it. I charge it at work for free and it has been an extremely reliable bike for a couple years now.
