@mattjs33 - my man - long time no see.
Yes, it's been a while, hasn't it?
How would this bad boy be at hauling around auto parts. Be honest.
Well, it has the range, I'll give it that. But I honestly don't need a truck with this much capability. We haven't had a full size truck in the fleet in 30 years. We have only two Colorados right now, because sometimes you need to deliver 10 cases of washer fluid or a drum of oil. One has a liftgate.
We use Chevrolet HHR's that we buy used. It makes no sense to spend much more when on some trips you are delivering an oil filter and a couple sets of brake pads. They work just fine for 95% of our deliveries, and get high 20's mpg as well.
I'm actually starting to look at used Bolts. They're quite a bit more expensive but could save us $500 or more a month each in fuel. The only question is cold weather range, and lifespan. They at least have the range. Nothing else affordable does.
Anyway, back to the Cybertruck. Design-wise, it's horrid. I'm sorry. So much to unwrap there. If it had been a cabover or a forward control type, with a conventional bed, it could have set the light truck market on its ear. Instead it reads as an Elon vanity project. I don't understand why there's not even a shred of corporate design theme to it. Teslas aren't bad looking cars, after all.
Everyone hails the specs. I don't care. She might be the best f*ck I've ever had but if I can't stand to look at her, I'm not inviting her home.
Doesn't matter. The True Believers will buy them, even if they don't know why.
