FYI,
You think?
That doesn't really have anything to do with it being used as an asset bubble that is very pyramidal in function. It takes way too much power to operate as a currency.
Numerically the body is pretty much identical to a Dodge 2500. Wheelbase is longer because the axles are moved closer to the corners.
Don‘t know why you seem obsessed with arguing about one of the most common ways people use trucks.
I sure hope so.
That is not a flat bed. It is a normal F150 with normal height sidewalls and a drawer system in the bottom of the bed. You can see the factory logos on the side. That’s factory height F150. The drawer system absolutely makes it easier to access things in the bed of the truck. And actually that might be a nice way to mitigate this issue with the Cybertruck. If the truck lowers and you raise the floor of the Cybertruck with a drawer system, the truck squatting might be enough to make it accessible.
I'm talking about new truck sales, not all trucks on the road. Most are 4x4 by a large margin. Especially if you exclude the fleet sales. I'm sure you could cherry-pick specific geographic areas that go against the overall average but the nationwide average is what's relevant.
Because it's not one of the most common ways people use full-sized trucks. Yes, in the previous century full-sized trucks were much smaller and we would sometimes side-load if the cargo was not too big or heavy but trucks are much bigger now and that's not typically how trucks are loaded or unloaded.
The sail sides will not prevent Tesla from selling increasing volumes every year and eroding Ford and GM's most profitable vehicle sales. Demand will be huge. Watch and see.I spent the day yesterday doing trail work. The forest manager was there with a bone stock USFS owned F250. Trail tools were all piled into the bed of the truck and he pulled them out over the sidewall. Shovels, rakes, loppers, etc.
OK, whatever. I guess the Cybertruck wouldn't have a convenient way to carry shovels and rakes, LOL!
There are dozens of companies making tool boxes and bed organizer solutions specific for the F150. The stock bed height is well within reach for most adults.
Work/ productivity is a massive percentage of what sells trucks and having a bed where you just unload it from the back is a tremendous waste of useful space.
This is the truck Tesla is marketing against. And they are planning on selling *all they can make* for years to come. All they can make is 250k/ year or more. To hit that volume, they’ve gotta tap more than just the 4WD off-road community.
