Agreed on the size aspect. IMO, the Cybertruck would look much cooler if it was like 80% of the size, and marketed as something more compact.

It looks cool in renderings with nothing near it for scale, but IRL the Cybertruck seems almost comically large.



Comically large yet you can't fit a mountain bike in the trunk.


At least in the US, the 'real' test for a truck is if you can fit a 4x8 piece of plywood in the back.

Has anyone seen any pic/vids of this thing with a 4x8 plywood board in the back?

(Yes, I know, many 'trucks' on the road today cannot do this as is. But that's not my question.)


Eh? The truck bed is 2m long, what mountain bike is 2m long?




Big difference though is that when a pickup truck does that, there's still a bunch of space in the bed. Here, the bike barely fits, even with the bike's front hanging out the back.


Pretty sure that's an optical illusion. All reports indicate the bed is 2m long, which means something is up.


The cyberbike!
