[fritter63]

Current MY is a pain in the a$$.

Yes, and the 3. Glad our nephew has finally graduated from the car seat.

I think we can for sure confirm cybertruck is a midsize in comparison to gas counterparts with an extended bed. F150 lightning is the only true full size EV truck player out there of course no one counts hummmer EV.
maybe cybertruck makes a new market “midsize plus” considering length towing and maybe a smidge in extra rear legroom.
checkout the space in that f150 It’s like a living room in there. Tesla shouldn’t have reduced to fit them stupid petite Bay Area garages.

Geez that's alot of safety stickers.

It is the yellow pages. Injury lawyer section.

So Tacoma sized. wow.. /s

I have believed for a long time, if you took Model Y, and put a bed on it... You'd have Cybertruck.

40.5" back leg room, about that up front too. In line with the coveted "F150"

Great shot. In absence of chickens, the space seem more than adequate. Keep in mind, it needs to be judged in combination with front seat position. I am not sure how tall the driver of the CT bellow was but the driver seat bellow leaves less leg space in the back than the passenger seat in the photo above.

I have a few of those seats for my children and they are actually more akin to instructions than "safety stickers". Obviously there is clear guidance on what not to do (i.e. safety) but they are 4-in-1 convertible car seats that can be reconfigured/reassembled in various ways to meet everything from your rear-facing infant needs through your 8-12yr old booster seat needs. There are quite a few ways for it to be installed and each way has its own nuance so the stickers are helpful guides when you need to make an adjustment or a change.

If I understand correctly, you are confirming that modern child seats are actually Transformers in disguise?

When I was a little one, we graduated to strapping in like an adult at age 3-4. Which is to say we might put a lap belt on. We didn't know what a shoulder harness was. It's amazing so many of us survived! I think people were better drivers back then because the cars were certainly not safe and the tires, brakes and suspensions were crap.

Child car seat? We road in the back, no car seat, hell no seat belts. And eventually graduated to walking to school, uphill BOTH ways in the SNOW (barefoot).

Why you gotta go and try to ruin everyone’s fear-mongering?! /s
I’ve had that exact car seat installed in my Tundra Crewmax. Hard to tell without some chickens for perspective, but CT rear legroom looks between the Tundra double cab and crewmax, closer to crewmax.

I can’t be sure I’m following y’all’s “/s” and comments

@greggertruck is the “40.5”” an eyeballed figure, or a wink-wink-nudge-nudge figure?

Having three of the largest car seats made (Clefk Foonf) in a Lightning, this new pic for me continues to suggest a rear seat materially smaller than an F150 but somewhat larger than a crew Tacoma - here if only talking about legroom (width is a different, more critical dimension)

Perhaps as @bjewell2006 says, maybe this is akin to Tundra (but I’m not familiar with those personally)

I’d @greggertruck’s assertion of 40.5” rear leg room is right, that’d be >3.5” less than the F150

Some might say ‘3.5 isn’t much,’ and that’s be a fare statement to the extent that there “isn’t much” - in terms of inches - between even an F150 and say a Tacoma (10” total). But in the legroom world, 3.5” is … material.

40” is a Chevy Avalanche (funny coincidence) of legroom, and that’s a materially smaller back seat than a F150 SCREW.

Folks won’t care about this 3.5” if they’ve not had a truck (40” will be an upgrade) or they are moving up from a Tacoma/other midsize (another upgrade).

But folks coming from other full-sizes super-crews will be more likely to put this 3:5” in a basket of meaningful ‘cons.’

And that’s just for legroom.

The separate matter of width has always been a more critical dimension in any comparisons.

I personally don’t think it’s “midsized” in legroom, and @greggertruck ’s 40”/Chevy Avalanche compare seems plausible by my eye (though for present ignoring the visible variable of the front seat positions).

Though the more important question from a TAM perspective is the width.

I’m less sanguine there

note the blue line RE all deaths

the below broken out for children under the age of 5

So, unclear that anyone was a “better” driver, but vehicles have certainly gotten safer A including by use of car seats

Would-be boomer toddlers were perishing at a rate 6X today’s rate

But don’t worry, there was still no war, disease, crime, or socio-political issues in your day /s

40.5 is the Y, didn’t put context. Wherpsy.

Nope. Far fewer miles were drive, far fewer people...

...And many more total deaths.

But, but the baby won't be able to see out of the window?????


How easy is it for me to cancel my order?
