Tesla Cybertruck Production Staff Cut As Sales Slow
Back in early December, Tesla told Cybertruck line workers that they didn’t need to come to work for three days.

I am reminded that you can fool some of the people some of the time, and …
Well I forget how that goes, but when I see someone behind the wheel of one of those, I think “Yep, fool. Not a good pickup, not a good truck, not a good car. Probably too big to put in the garage, too.”
Assuming they own a garage.

It is subtle and odd but GM has far more goodwill than Tesla. What goodwill Tesla has is being ripped apart by Musk.
Goof your fool is musk.

I don’t think so. I ‘paced’ the size of one in a parking lot a while back.
A Cybertruck ‘looks’ bigger than it really is.
So, while it might be a tight fit… it’ll very likely fit into most garages.
IIRC, it’s about 0.5 to 0.6m longer and 0.3 to 0.4m wider than my RAV4.
(this is from memory, and i was ‘pacing’ it off… so…)
It’s about the same size as a full size ‘normy’ pickup.

These are online #s. I didn’t do any ‘data massage’. I just grabbed some ‘representative’ #s.

Trucks have grown way too big. Today’s Tacoma is about the size of a 1990’s F 150.
Well, the good news is that workers can probably find work at dumpster manufacturers.

That goes for X posts as well. Right in the dumpster.
I was actually surprised by the size of the truck. The presentations and images make it look monster, but standing next to it was nothing special. In real life (at a Tesla showroom) it was tinier than I expected, definitely narrower and no taller than my Chevy Colorado.
