Title: Latest Cybertruck videos show most complete version yet of Tesla's steel pickup, obvious flaws and oddities persist while production date looms
Post by: Redaktion on May 17, 2023, 20:18:19
New videos of Tesla's Cybertruck have surfaced, and they reveal a number of tweaks to the design of the electric pickup truck, while further inspection also shows some glaring panel gaps and misalignment issues that will need to be corrected before the final production version. Panel gaps and quality control issues have become something of a meme when it comes to new Tesla releases, but hopefully the Cybertruck's long development time will help reduce teething troubles.

I'm just confused at how little space is devoted to the truck bed itself versus the rest of the "truck"?  How is this going to compete with the vast majority of trucks with much. much more room in terms of storage?  YOu know, the reason people use trucks?

I'd wager that most people that buy trucks don't do it out of necessity, but the Cybertruck supposedly has a bigger bed than the Ford F-150 Lightning, if that's any indication. 6.5 feet for the Cybertruck but 5.5 feet for the F-150. Seems to be wider, too, but I'm not sure I believe any of that, considering the images we've seen of the Lightning beside the Cybertruck (the ones where the Tesla was stuck in the mud). The Cybertruck is significantly smaller than any F-150. To be fair, it probably has a shorter nose than any F-150, but we'll have to see what the actual bed dimensions are when it comes out. We all know how Tesla's hype machine works compared to the end result, by now.

It's kinda cute that you think that most Americans who buy large pickup trucks ever use their beds for anything. Half of the average pickups in the US end up as pavement queens to begin with.
