If you can't stick sheets of plywood or drywall in there with the tailgate up,
it ain't no pickup truck!

no way that design would pass European regulations.
My cynical first impression was that this prototype was based on not
spending any money on press tooling.

The CyberPickup might actually be very functional. Not easy to tell
because it is visually incomparable.
There are a lot of opportunities for the truck that electrification will
open up. Torque will be enormous. It will be batshit crazy fast compared to

Tesla isn’t Ford. They can’t produce millions of trucks, and they’d be failing
in their mission if they did so. So it would
Generally there are 3 different sizes for pickup truck beds. Short, Standard,
or Long. Generally a short bed is approximately 5'8” long, a standard bed is
6'5” long, and a long bed is 8' long but these numbers vary by a few inches
