That's a good thing! Eyeballs man! From Howard Stern's "Private Parts" movie:

Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes a day. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.
Kenny: How could this be?
Researcher: Answer most commonly given: "I want to see what he'll say next."
Kenny: All right, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?
Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.
Kenny: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?
Researcher: Most common answer:
"I want to see what he'll say next."
Hahahahaha that made my day, thanks for posting that!

It is so true, this video is one of my most viral video thanks to all the haters!!! They all have something to comment but they have to watch the whole video to make their comments sound intelligent. LOL. KARAM working in reverse order here ?

Don't worry. We are the majority - 75% of CT owners are first time truck buyers.

I'll use CT exactly like I use my 3 - to schauffer around kids and light shopping.

Last time I went to home depot I bought an item that just went in my pant pocket. Don't need a CT for that ;)

ps : As an aside - many of us with IT jobs have spoilt our backs and can no longer carry heavy stuff. No, CT won't fix that ... so, CT will just be a "lifestyle" product.
I enjoy reading your reply! Thanks!!

Sorry about your back!
I did this a few days ago, but my back still hurts today: 100 Pounds! ?

Yes, those are beasts - have two of those.

Hurt my back badly lugging huge suitcases on my international trip a couple of years back.

Just not worth it to risk bringing heavy items from homedepot - I'd rather pay to get delivery.

Wow! Watch out for that back! ?

What do you use your EcoFlow Delta PRO for? I am thinking of upgrading to the ULTRA that just got released. I love geeking out with these solar generators.

i have the EcoFlow Power Kit in my storage Shed:

Two of them combined go into the generator inlet for backup power for the house. We usually have a couple of outages per year in Seattle area. Ofcourse, after I got this last year, there hasn't been any outage ;)

Good thing is - once I get CT I can get the V2H, instead of Eco Flow. I might then use EcoFlow as a super expensive UPS for my PC/home server ;)

Nice! Wired for 220VAC from the Delta Pros!?
I wanted to do that too, but the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel (version 1) wasn't ideal for me... So the EcoFlow Delta Pro just sat in the living room doing nothing, hehehe.

I've enjoyed your previous videos but I won't be wasting my time on this one with such a dumb title.

We have an F-150 but always bring a Model 3 for Costco runs. We've done two or three runs in the truck, but the Model 3 is just easier to load and unload. We buy as much as we want without worrying about running out of space. We've fit up to almost $1000 worth of 100% groceries in the Model 3 without breaking a sweat.

Not sure what your problem with the Cybertruck was but I would probably load the frunk and flip up the backseats for the rest of it. Very nice that the backdoor open a full 90 degrees for loading/unloading! TP and paper towels could just be thrown in the vault. The backseat area in the Cybertruck is massive from a volume perspectifve!
I agree, my MS is the normal free drive to Costco but sometimes we take our 3500HD High country, everything usually goes on the floor in the back, easy fold up seats and flat floor, the bottles of rum usually tucked under the rear edge of the drivers seat.

I get it, thankfully I don't have to deal with that BS in my state
Interesting viewpoint. I would say that I am thankful that I don't live in a state that cares so little for the environment and the ocean where all those bags end up. MA used to be beautiful, and right minded. I wonder what happened.

We always go to Costco and never bring bags. I don’t see many other shoppers bring bags, or maybe I am not looking closely enough?

Is it really that weird to not use bags?

we put Costco stuff in our Model Y without bags:
In all fairness to you we never use bags when we go to Costco, but we almost never take items and throw them into the car because then we have to make many trips to get them into the house. We use the cardboard boxes they provide if we are getting more than a single load worth of items, and for that why would we go to Costco?

Ultimately it helps the environment... (every little bit helps, even though we offset it with massive Cybertrucks.. heh)
Except that a Cybertruck uses an order of magnitude less energy compared to a fossil fuel truck, and far less energy than a tiny fossil fuel mini car.
