The Cybertruck Shape Has One SERIOUS Downside
As a Tesla enthusiast and someone who has started using a roof top tent for overlanding and family camping I have quite a lot to say about the $3000 Tesla CyberTent. But what's interesting is the reason it exists is because of a staggeringly serious flaw in the Cybertruck design that no one seems to be talking about.

    The endless number of ropes to be set. But the round shape makes it not very space efficient as sleeping stuff is normally not round but square. So you end-up with a lot of unusable space which also means a square tent can be smaller in size and have same possibilities.

    I like the toe box design of barefoot shoes, but the soles are too painful to wear. Also I have fallen arches because my knee alignment is fundamentally wrong. I would need surgery on my legs to correct the fundamental issue. My knee joints will not correct themselves at 68. Barefoot shoes won't help correct, ( or support), my arches, and so don't help to correct my inward toe alignment, which developed as a result of the kncked-kneed-cause pronation, (its not sole the cause just wearing pointy toe box shoes) If only they made wide toe box shoes WITH spongy arch supprting soles I would wear them. My solution is to wear roomy crocs with insoles.

That's why most cars need their keys in the car for the engines to be running. Most people would consider it a security risk to leave their car unattended with their dog in it unlocked, with the keys in the ignition and the engine on. It's illegal to leave a car with an idling engine on uk roads and if anyone did that on a campsite here they would be asked to leave! Funnily enough people don't like breathing in engine fumes when sleeping in tents!

    I haven't seriously considered buying another keyboard since getting my Moonlander. I think my biggest hangup about trying something with fewer keys and needing to rely more on additional layers or clever mod-taps is that I have less visual working memory than a hamster with CTE. I forget where I placed a symbol in the time it takes to alt-tab from my Oryx reference page back to what I had been working on. I'd love if I could ever actually LEARN the other layers I presumably spent a few hours very thoughtfully setting up. I'm sure past-me did a commendable job of designing a comfortable and intuitive layout for the numpad layer I've never used. But if you put a gun to my head and told me to press the dedicated caret key in that numpad layer, I'd say just pull the trigger.

    Not sure it is of much concern to those of us in UK/EU at the moment given that the cybertruck doesn't meet safety requirements and needs a category C1 license to drive because of the weight. Maybe they plan to modify it and by then hopefully there will be some better third party options. That said, even as a current Tesla driver, I can't see myself enjoying driving this as a daily around English towns and car parks given they are not designed for it!

Im much more tempted by a Tesla car now that the self driving has come along though. Ill probably wait a few more years for things to keep ironing out and maybe lose the big FSD fee. The Teslas of today might be able to really undercut the market as they come out with more new tech in higher end models.

    It's kind of crazy how Telsa has a whole range of cars that are incredibly practical and relatively affordable. And then they have the Cybertuck... a product that solves no issues and in fact makes your life arguably worse than if you had bought any other EV Truck. It feels like Tesla has done a great job of shielding itself from Elon's dumb ideas, but someone along the chain finally let one of his demands through the cracks. I swear this truck feels like Elon drew a triangle on a napkin and told them to make it into a truck. The sheer impracticality of their tent is just mindboggling. For $3,000 you could build out a custom trailer and use it as a remote living quarters/camper.

      most people dont buy trucks to tent, they use it for work or hauling and loading stuff. If you're designing a truck around tenting you'll end up with a van. PS: you cant have a tunnel cover without making it slope somehow (which is huge in the US if you don't want your shit stolen) The design is actually surprisingly very practical. Whether it looks good is another story.

    Problems are good. They are moving the engineering. Amazon delivery machines look better for ambulances, deliveries, for travel and for a server on wheels... Sooner or later, electricity at gas stations should start to cost like at home... The more people eat, the more food there is, but not everyone needs that much...😉😇

      Agree, but this problem doesn't exist with other trucks, EV or otherwise.

      😂 yeah it has the potential to be expensive. I've done a lot to it but do the work myself so that's kept it pretty reasonable considering what an amazing machine it actually is!

    reviewing a product you don't have/tried is interesting but I think your points are probably still valid.

      That's why I asked at the end if I missed something :) Pretty sure my assessment is reasonable. I'm only commenting on the major issues that are easy to see without owning one. Owning one isn't going to make those roof bars level at the end of the day! (edited to say I replied before you added the qualifier about still being valid, thanks 😊)

    Do you happen to have a picture of the two kids bikes on the roof rack? I’m trying to do the same with my kids bikes. Idk the specs of each bike, I just know they suit my son who is 9 and my daughter who is 6.

    • @BenVallack
      @BenVallack 3 дня назад

      The small one might just need the wheel holder on the bike rack moving to the other side of the base (this will become clear when you look at it). Other than that they can hold small bikes fine.
