Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles::Also, the charging speeds are below par, but on the flip side, the sound system is awesome and the car is “a dream to drive.”

    Give me a break. Aint no roofing contractor or excavating company using these things as a work vehicle. If you want to see one visit the parking lot outside forever21. But thats kinda the point right? So mortgage brokers can cosplay as blue collar but also look cool for the valet. As a remodeling contractor my truck is an ugly shitbox with a solid drivetrain I maintain myself. Why a shitbox? Because its covered in thinset mortar, paint, dryall mud, and is scratched all to shit from hauling materials to the job and construction debris from the job. The type of person driving these things wouldnt piss on a working man if he was on fire.

      But the cybertruck also fails at looking cool, unless if maybe the idea is to look cool to children.

      Who said anything about contractors? I’m currently watching the ev truck market because I diy a lot of shit and hate having to rent a truck to buy plywood. These aren’t for contractors.

        It’s cheaper to rent the truck and plan your trips well. Hell even better, rent a work van since they can fit more in general.

          It’s much more time consuming and problem prone. I’ve lived this way for years now and want to be able to just drive out and haul shit without the hassle. This shit is a hobby and the rental nonsense makes it feel like work.
