Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck is generating a lot of excitement, but there are still many unanswered questions surrounding its features and capabilities. With just two weeks until Tesla’s highly-anticipated delivery event for the stainless steel-clad pickup, the lack of information is becoming concerning, especially considering the truck’s financial significance for Tesla.
A viral video recently surfaced on social media, providing the first glimpse of the Cybertruck’s interior. Surprisingly, the cabin appears to be more cramped than expected for a full-sized pickup. Now, it seems that the truck’s bed may suffer from similar limitations. An image circulating online shows that even a single mountain bike cannot fit entirely inside the bed. Furthermore, a photo uploaded to the Cybertruck subreddit depicts a Christmas tree awkwardly protruding from the truck’s rear, suggesting that its utility may not match that of other pickup trucks.
So, just how big is the Cybertruck’s bed, and how does it compare to its competitors? According to measurements disclosed during Tesla’s Q2 earnings report earlier this year, the 19-foot truck will have a truck bed that is slightly over six feet long. Unfortunately, this falls short of accommodating the Specialized mountain bike shown in the aforementioned image by nearly a foot. However, tailgate pads can be used to transport bikes with the front wheel hanging out of the back.
In terms of competition, the Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning have truck beds measuring 4.5 and 5.5 feet respectively. However, the Cybertruck’s bed presents a unique challenge due to its oddly angled sides. A September image suggests that the bed narrows significantly towards the bottom, potentially limiting cargo capacity.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen how much space the Cybertruck’s bed can truly offer for items like Christmas trees or other oddly-shaped cargo. Additionally, customers will likely have to wait longer than Christmas Day to get their hands on one. As anticipation builds, Tesla enthusiasts eagerly await more details about the Cybertruck’s specifications and capabilities.
