    This is irrelevant if you need a truck. Neither one of those is picking up plywood from home depot for example.

        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.

              I understand it if you are using it like weekly, but the savings are substantial if you just rent.

      Okay. The F150 Lighting has a range of 240-300 miles per charge, and an MSRP starting at $50k, compared to the cyber truck starting at $81k.

        Yeah, not saying I even like the cybertruck (I don’t), just that those other evs as re not comparable in any way other than fuel source.

      As someone how yesterday got home 3 pallets and 4 pallet collar’s in a Twingo. I disagree.

      You don’t want to do that every day for work, but in a pinch small cars fit enough. Need more room for a project at home? Get a cart. My Twingo can tow a light cart. That’s 99% of all use cases for me.

      Need even more rent a van. We did that with moving houses and it fits so much more then a pickup.

      I really think 99% of people will be fine with a small car and a hinge. You get pretty good mileage and a small car that is not a dead trap for everybody outside. Even small ev’s are great for that.

        There’s unfortunately no trick to bringing home full 4x8 sheets which is generally what I need. And the rental is too much hassle, especially for small quantities. You need somewhere to park a 4x8 trailer, they’re not small.

      It’s not irrelevant. The two cars I compared it to are smaller, yet they go further at much less cost. To me that sounds like the Cybertruck is way too heavy.
