I've yet to see a single thing that my 20 year old, rusted out, electrical issues-having RAM 2500 can't do that the Cyberstuck can, except for maybe look worse. Guess my truck can't charge, either.

Also lol the Cyberstuck with its 4 wheel steering has a worse turning radius than a Chevy Suburban (which despite that, may be the only thing it presumably does better than my truck), per the Rich Rebuilds review:



Wonder how well it performs with water up to its running boards (or where they would be if it had them). 20 year old RAM takes it and asks for more.

Beast mode can go 0-60 in under 3 seconds

Can also be used to power a house, and charge other EVs

Things your car can't do, and I don't think any other truck available can do
I was saying people in California have no taste because the tesla is the best selling car there.
Yes, I know

Its 0-60 speed isn't going to offset the multiple trips it's gonna need to haul an equivalent amount of payload to the jobsite that any other remotely competent pickup truck can do in 1.

F150 Lightning has done the whole "power your house" thing since it came out a few years back, that's not something "new" that the Cyberstuck does. "Charging your other EVs" no idea but if it has the hookups to charge a house then at the absolute maximum it's an adapter you're going to need.

Edit - lmao even the Nissan Leaf (and a lot of other cars apparently) does the "power your house" thing (turns out it's called "Bi-directional charging") https://www.cars.com/articles/whats-bidirectional-charging-and-which-evs-offer-it-457608/

Standard bed length is about 6 feet, which is the length of the CT bed

As such it will hold a comparable amount to many other trucks, it's not an 8 footer like some trucks - but it's got an average length

It's true the lightning can do home power, but at least looking at install fees for the necessary infrastructure it's a few thousand less to get the Tesla wiring in place

Length isn't everything, height and width are factors as well.

The Cyberstuck has a 51 inch wide bed, while my 20 year old RAM has a 69 inch wide bed.

Calculating volume from bed dimensions here the Cyberstuck has a 42.8 cubic inch volume for its bed contained below the bed rails. Conversely, my truck, also with a 6ft bed, has a 57.5 cubic inch volume.

If you include the volume on the Cyberstuck that's above the bed rails but below the tonneau cover, that's another 9.5 cubic feet for the triangle, for a total of 52.3 cubic feet. I don't even think this is a safe volume to store things in though since it's against the glass for the rear window of the truck. You can't (or at least shouldn't) dump a bucketloader full of gravel into that unless you want to replace a window and spend a few hours cleaning gravel out of your interior.

If you exclude the wheel wells on my truck that protrude into the bed (about 1.25 cubic feet each) that's 54 cubic feet.

Gave it a handicap and nerfed the bed on my own truck and it's still smaller.
