Like any other truck, it depends how you order it. 7700lbs is well over what my trailers/loads are.

Although the specs aren't as high as a consumer would maybe expect, keep in mind that its mainly made for mine use, so range isn't really an issue for those purposes.
Kinda seems somewhat bastardized to create an EV out of one of, if not THE most reliable vehicle/power train the world has ever seen.

Yeah but then you can recharge it with diesel generators with much worse emissions controls than a passenger vehicle ...

Sounds like it'd be easier to just sell some TSLA stock and buy a Unimog.

Watched a few "why I'm buying the Cybertruck", I think this one is the closest thing to what I feel.

He uses it for work a bit here and there, while I mostly need to carry family stuff. But still, the similarity is there.

We both need something that will both haul stuff while still be an excellent family car. And I think CT does exactly that.

Love it or hate when is the last time a new vehicle has had a 7 plus page post on RS in such a short time. Look at how many YouTubers have placed a pre-order many who have non-automotive focused channels. That's going to be a lot of content.

With a 6.5 foot bed, you could use the built-in air compressor to fill up an air mattress roll down the shutter and sleep in the back. If it gets cold you could plug in a small heater. In the morning you could plug in a hotplate to cook your breakfast. Mount a Starlink dish to the truck and you will have high-speed internet anywhere in the world.
If you need more power/range install some Tesla powerwall battery packs in the back.

Truck mentality has not changed in decades. Every truck that comes out looks the same with only small bumps in specs. A little more power, some more towing capacity, some added creature comforts. This truck is going to be used in ways people never thought of using a truck or car.

They have a $100 refundable deposit. That's not a pre-order. I doubt even a fraction of those people will actually buy one.

You can do every single one of those things with any truck that has a 6.5' bed for a fraction of the price. None of that is exclusive to this thing.

That's what everyone says about every slightly quirky truck (Avalanche, Ridgeline, etc), and then nobody buys them.

Newish Toyota Tacoma’s already have 120V outlet in the bed, on top of the numerous anchor points for their endless selection of options from tents to storage units etc. And the amount of people that take advantage of them are probably in the single digits of owners

I’m not trying to bash this truck but to think the EV generational buyer is all of a sudden going to turn into this crazy outdoorsman because of features already available in other vehicles with not nearly the 3rd party support that Toyota etc. Offer seems like viewing this through rose coloured glasses.

IMO the bold move on the design seems to be paying off. Some institutional buyers (namely police departments) are looking to get cozy with Cybertruck.

Which makes a lot of sense really. First, they want to make a statement: police is here, behave yourself! Plus, any vehicle with any sort of resistance to bullets is going to cost an arm and legs. Now they can get some basic resistance to smaller bullets for the cost of a regular vehicle.

Sure I am biased as hell as both a Tesla owner and shareholder, but after seeing the Cybertruck and now looking at other pickup trucks and they feel so... dated?

I'd love to see some better pickup design coming out of major truck companies. It's about time.
For cars we went from the boxes in the early 20th century to the absolute whack of a design say modern Ferraris and Lambos... and even more domesticated cars like Honda/Toyota design has changed a lot through the last few decades.

It's almost unbelievable that pickup stayed relatively the same for the last 50yrs. Which brings the question, is it really the best design already or manufacturer simply didn't dare to think out of the box?

120v at how many amps and for how long? We have a company in Nanaimo https://www.vmacair.com/ they make vehicle-mounted air compressors. The cybertruck has it built-in and it's designed for air tools.

The laws of physics still apply to the cybertruck. If you want to use much more than air nailers or a wheel gun intermittently, you're looking at a 5+ horsepower compressor. That's going to be some significant power draw, I seriously doubt it's going to be that big.

It has 220 so you could run somthing like this.

But who knows what it is running.

Without the specs that could mean it can barely run a pin nailer, but if it's got the waft to run an impact gun strong enough to get its own lugnuts off that'd be a pretty handy upgrade over the usual weenie little tire iron you get.
