K, but most people with F-150s and 1500s have 5.5' beds. I have to do the same thing with bikes in my F-150.
No kidding. There is plenty of valid things to criticize the cyber truck for, but some these are just silly. I see bikes in regular pickups like that every day in the mountain bike parking lot. It's common enough that Fox even makes a tailgate pad for it.

Short beds are dumb. 6 ft or it's not a truck. I know I've posted this before, but it's 4 bikes in the back of a small truck, an S-10 with a 6ft box. The white one is a 29er and juuuust about fits without turning the wheel.

I was celebrating earlier this year when I found out I could stuff my entire road bike into the Model 3 trunk without taking off the wheel. It looks like you don't even that option with Cybertruck.

EVs actually completely change the dynamic of service stations to more of a place to get a captive audience that has to wait at least 15-45 minutes for a charge. It becomes more like turning regular consumers that might gas up quickly to be like truck driver rest stops that could make more money from waiting charging customers.
I'm surprised more chain restaurants aren't looking into this. Stop at Boston Pizza for a meal while the car charges

Lots of bikers put their bike over the tailgate to protect the expensive drive trains. Particularly if there are several bikes in the back.

The new supercharger station at 130th Ave is a decent model for this.
Plug your car in, and you have an easy walk to safeway, Walmart, London Drugs, many restaurants, and just a little further to Superstore, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, etc.
The friggin thing couldn't even maintain a lane and that massive steering wheel movement doing nothing it seems. Accelerating down the hill then blowing a stop sign aside it's such an utter mess.
Also those steering wheels are trash

Minivan for the win….inhales 4’x8’ sheets with ease. What kind of a work truck can’t do that?

Yes, my previous vehicle was an MPV. I once put a huge tarp in the back and shoveled in a load of garden soil...The truck is an upgrade for that sort of thing! I've also felt most people would be better served with a small utility trailer than a truck, given how little they haul stuff.
I know in the past it was because the residuals were much lower than resale, so it didn't make sense for Tesla to sell a car to the leaseholder for 15k less than they'd get on the open market. Might just be an artifact of that time period
Tesla wants to take back the vehicles coming off lease so they can integrate them into their upcoming robotaxi fleet.
"upcoming"

Tesla's aggressive (perhaps unrealistic) goal to launch a robotaxi network in 2020 was revealed by CEO Elon Musk on Monday as the company discussed plans toward a self-driving future.
“From our standpoint, if you fast forward a year – maybe a year and three months, but next year for sure – we’ll have over a million robotaxis on the road,” Musk told an audience on Monday.

I saw this a ton in Europe. No 1/2 tons. Everybody that was hauling stuff was just towing a small trailer with their car. It's brilliant.
