That may be about the only really good feature of the Cybertruck - lots of torque and horsepower. Major current downside: Ordinary people still can't buy a Cybertruck. Maybe in 2024, if Elon Musk isn't too busy running the company formerly known as Twitter into the ground.

I've seen a lot of focus on its lack of bed space and hauling ability.

In a quick look, it appears to be similar in capacity to a Ford F-150 Lightning at a similar price. Lower capacity than the F-250, which can handle about twice the cargo and tow about twice as much weight with a conventional engine. (And the F-250 is available with an 8-foot bed, unlike the F-150 and the Cybertruck, which are limited to about six feet.) Or there's the most expensive F-450, which about doubles those capacities again, with a price that starts about 5% above the most expensive Cybertruck. But the F-450 doesn't make a very good sports car - E.M. says the Cybertruck is a better sports car than an actual sports car. YMMV.

I think the knock isn't strictly with the bed length, but the unusual design causes an over hang from the cab into the bed area. I'm not there yet with the EV movement, but when/if I do I know I won't buy a Tesla.

I was somewhat intrigued by them when they were first announced back in 2019, now I think they look utterly ridiculous. Even if I had the cash to buy one outright I'd have to pass.
