One's gotta feel so goofy bragging about their truck hauling a load that would fit in most any compact sedan

[–] noyou@lemm.ee 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean that easily fits in my compact hatchback

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 30 points 1 year ago

Hatchbacks generally fit things like that more easily than sedans.

Bragging

Look at the username, and the platform

Why the fuck do people use that site?!?

That would fit in my wife’s fucking Camry man

Sorry, my wife drives a cavalier. Not a Camry. I am not good with vehicle names. I am big dumb.

I have walked more home in a cheap wagon.

It's people committed to their egos unwilling to admit they purchased a dud from a con man.

I appreciate what Len's going for, but showing a Cybertruck with a load that would fit in a normal car, and 'owning' it by showing a bike carrying what appears to be half as much, is only going to give ammo to the dipshits with their massively oversized trucks.

'Hey, bro! My Ford SuperMacho DonkeyDong Pavement Princess edition would fit the load from the Cybertruck and the load from the cargo bike. I could throw the bike on top too!'

Reframing it as 'the Cybertruck's so shitty that half the load will fit on a bike with no issues, and you don't have to be seen driving a Cybertruck' would probably work better 👍

[–] Skua@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago (14 children)

The packages on the bike look far longer, it's quite possible that it actually is the same load

I fully agree with this, but I have to say I think it's equivalently and succinctly encapsulated by "wankpanzer".

Wankpanzer has now been added to my lexicon.

Meanwhile in a real truck...

[–] Plavatos@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 year ago

This image broke me, 95% of the trucks I see everyday are used as commuter vehicles with nothing in the bed. And the ones that do are hauling a single sheet of plywood. I plum forgot people use trucks to move stuff.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Couldn't you do that on a cybertruck as well?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The most similar bed for regular trucks is about 14 cu ft more than in the CT (about 70cu ft vs about 56 cu ft) but technically yes you could load a Cybertruck like that, although I wouldn't want to see the sloped sides after a loader dumped a couple of yards in it...

[–] lud@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Yards? What the hell? You measure volume in yards now?

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago

Yes and it's as annoying and stupid as it sounds

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

The cubic yard is common among contractors in the US. You buy concrete in yards

I think I'm going to refer to pick ups and SUVs exclusively as "wankpanzers" from now on

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My vocabulary was enhanced today too.

Call me crazy, but I think original op, the one with the cyber truck, was actually making a joke

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

I also think it's more of a sarcastic remark about size of the cargo bed, if you can even call it a cargo bed.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The account is literally called Dirty Tesla. This must be one of the biggest whooshes in history.

[–] PlantPowerPhysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Funny seeing this, I just got back from taking 40L of planting soil home in the back of my (non-cargo) bike. It's doable, for sure.

Lol, I don't know about a bicycle but I routinely toss six bags of dirt in the back of my Honda Accord and my ex- boss has a trailer for his Corolla.

Also, presumably he got it to the checkout at the store in a grocery cart, he (I am making an assumption here that this is a dude) has to know you don't need a truck to move it.

Thankful to have Cybertruck

Isn't that the most basic feature of a car?
Reminds me of the people thankful for Facebook so they can talk to friends, when what enabled that really was the Internet and Facebook just created an app incompatible with any existing messaging standard.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's a big load? That‽ That'll fit into any car.

I'm in the unfortunate position of not living in a place to practically use that bicycle, and being unable to afford a cybertruck. I wouldn't buy one, even if I could afford it, but I'd like to be in that position.

my wagon can definitely carry that, without the risk of slicing off pedestrians' faces in an accident, too.

[–] BaalInvoker@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I guess that some people just like to put big loads on their back and post it on the internet... Who am I to judge...

Can we just officially call it the Wankpanzer? That's too good.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 1 year ago

I saw one IRL the other day and it was way bigger than I thought based on pictures. This shows how shitty the trunk on it is. Whole car was bigger than an Escalade, but this is all that trunk can fit. What a hunk o shit.
