A Cybertruck ‘blew up’ outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas
It has a whole new set of flaws that result in the same outcome.
Saw one in daylight for the first time yesterday. They’re so big they don’t fit in Costco’s ridiculously oversized parking stalls.
Is that bad? (Actual question) I mean the f-150 is probably the most popular truck model ever. So I wouldn’t think it’s an unfavorable comparison.
I don’t think it’s bad that its smaller than a F150. People like to harp on it though as if it’s this massive monstrosity like OP without realizing it’s the size of the most popular truck. I see F150’s parked at Costco just fine all the time.
Should all trucks be smaller? Sure, maybe, but I wouldn’t really hold the CT’s size against it. It’s also much shorter than other trucks at least at the front which is better for safety in general (even if you think the Cybertruck isn’t safe, being shorter is still safer). I’ve seen some trucks where their front flat grill is up to my neck. It’s kinda ridiculous.
F-150 has a turning radius of 27.3 feet, length of 232 inches, width of 80 inches. Hummer EV has a turning radius of 37 feet, length of 206 inches, width of 93.7 inches Rivian R1T has a turning radius of 22.3 feet, length of 217 inches width of 81.8
Cybertruck has a turning radius of 43.5 feet, length of 231 inches, width of 77 inches.
Okay, so the length “advantage” it has over the F-150 is roughly 0.4% of their length.
It is very slightly thinner than its competition, but its turning radius is 18% larger than its nearest competitor, which is the absolutely massive Hummer EV
In compairson to the f-150, it is 60% larger, and only has a bed capacity of 52.2 cubic feet(within the roller door) compared to the F150s 52.8 cubic feet.
Cybertruck bed capacity made from calculating the area of the bed that fits inside the roller door and tailgate.
I think you might be mixing up units for the turning radius between the f150/rivian and the CT
MotorTrend has the turning circle listed as
F150 Lightning 48.0 ft
Rivian 44.9 ft
CT 43.5 ft
Meanwhile the GM site says the Silverado EV is 42.16ft
So your 2 numbers for F150/Rivian aren’t the same measurement as the CT 43.5
Edit: Also the size comparison wasn’t about being an advatange or not, it was the person mocking the CT size when it was smaller than the countries best selling vehicle and favorite truck.
Edit: And worth noting that the CT, Silverado and Hummer all have the better turning circles because of their 4 wheel steering. The hummer is 25 inches shorter, leading to its best score. The silverado is a couple inches longer, and has a tighter circle which is a nice job.
