You haven’t given any good reasons to back up your claim. You don’t make any specific points ;) It sounds like you made your comment before the presentation was finished. This is also ignoring the fact that most luxury pickups and SUVs are also impractical gas guzzlers https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/04/28/what-does-your-work-truck-say-about-you/ https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/04/28/what-does-your-wo...

  I did in another comment in regards to goose necks. The bed is where it’s at for practical truck use outside urban areas. This design ruins a lot of obvious uses in my opinion (reach ability, tie downs, latter racks, tool boxes, loading and hauling). The slope bed sides are really what stand out as a mistake to me. I see this being a great replacement for the Chevy Avalanche though

    You have to go back 20 years or so to get a usable bed in a truck. All modern full size trucks are so high that they're fairly inconvient to use too.

      Haha. Maybe not 20 years... though you are right. My dad was pissed when he had to have his boat and camper trailers lifted so they rode level on his new F350. The same thing all the neighbor farmers did too when they replaced their trucks with new ones. They all still complain about getting in and out of the trucks when we go hunting together. Lol

    If we’re comparing this to real utility trucks like a Ford Ranger, you may have a point; but IMO the SUV status symbols like the F150 aren’t much better for utility vs Tesla You haven’t even seen the specs or enough of the truck to say things like reach ability is any worse than a luxury truck Also if you watched the whole presentation, who’s to say the front and back wheels can’t adjust height independent of each other yet The only thing other luxury trucks have on the Tesla for now is the look. Its styling is just too forward and aggressive. even though I like it, I can see many people hating it

  > This is also ignoring the fact that most luxury pickups and SUVs are also impractical gas guzzlers But your statement also ignores the fact that many people buy luxury pickups and SUVs in part because they are impractical gas guzzlers. When you look at one of those, the first thing through your head is "there goes someone with a lot of money to blow." Which is kinda the point.

    I don’t disagree, but I think you’re missing my point or you didn’t read the thread before reading my comment. slovette felt that the cybertruck sucks because it’s less “practical” than luxury SUVs. I just pointed out that the luxury SUVs and luxury trucks that the cybertruck is competing against are also just impractical
