      Real pound of iron vs pound of feathers energy here

      Cars can’t haul bags of soil! Soil is heavy!

    If you have a truck and are doing gardening, you drive it to a landscaping supplier and they’ll drop soil in your truck bed with a backhoe by the cubic yard.

    …the fuck is taking their truck to Walmart and buying tons of soil in plastic bags?! You’re defeating the entire purpose of having a truck.

    But if you bought a Cybertruck, mayhap you don’t understand what trucks are for. Which is forgivable - there’s a lot of that going around these days.

      In addition to what the other comment said, cost of multiple deliveries for these goods throughout the year would also be cheaper than buying a truck vs a sedan.

      Yeah seriously, a hot hatch or even the trunk of your average sedan could fit this.

    A full shopping cart? I can haul that much in the back seat of my Nissan Leaf. And I don’t mean the rear cargo area, I mean the back seat.

    Miss, an old, dingy Volvo 740 wagon can carry twice that in its cargo compartment. Could that poor excuse of a vehicle…?:

    Carry already-heavy containers containing even heavier liquids

    Tow heavy commercial machinery from point A to point B

    Haul heavy earth materials like rocks/cement and actual soil

    Transport up to five morbidly obese yet muscular construction workers without its frame giving up

    Well this is better than the 2 bags from the other post, but I STILL fit at least that much in the trunk of my Honda fucking civic.

    Apparently it leaks inside the trunk too. Can’t imagine paying that much money and they can’t even make the whole thing waterproof.

    Really looking forward to seeing how these perform as a boat as Elon once promised…

    My problem with them isn’t even the looks, it’s the crap workmanship

    I had a 1992 VW GTI that routinely transported a 4-piece drumkit (in separate road-cases), associated cymbals/hardware), a 4x12 guitar cab, a 6x10 bass cab, 2 heavy tube amp heads for said cabs, and 4 guitars all in the rear with a comfortable passenger in shotgun. I never considered having to sag brag.
