Tell me about it. The Cybertruck is an inch and some change longer and 8" wider than my ratty full size 1990's pickup, yet somehow manages to have only slightly over half the usable cargo volume -- 42.80 cubic feet vs. 70.7. And I'm being extremely charitable by treating the Cybertruck's bed area as if it were cubic starting from its tallest point by the back glass, when in fact it's wedge shaped.
It also weighs 3269 pounds more (in its lightest configuration) and as we all know by now the Cybertruck's towing and trailer tongue weight ratings are outright lies. Whereas millions of people have successfully lugged a combined total of billions of tons worth of boats, bikes, lawn mowers, and RV's with GM and Ford pickups over the decades.
Even for the use case for someone who "needs" a truck, the Wankpanzer is a moronic choice.
