Trying to use Cybertruck as a truck may void your warrantee.

Is this the Lowes in Lynnwood, WA? That parking lot looks awfully familiar.
ricbri695
I used to work at a Lowe’s where the exit of the parking lot went uphill from the stop sign. It was a great source of entertainment on a nearly weekly basis. Only thing better was playing “what kind of clown car do they have?” when they sold grills with free assembly…

Who would have thought that putting 12 foot Trex boards in a 6.5 foot truck bed could POSSIBLY result in this??

Wait, you mean people who buy the dumpster on wheels are morons? No. Way.
reverendbonobo
If you can afford a stupid-looking sci-fi truck, you can afford to get that shit delivered.
SillySnowFox
or rent a UHaul
sadurdaynight
No red warning flag tied to the materials either. Stupid and dangerous is a bad combo.
Like2Fox
For those unfamiliar, it's 3,000 lbs of slippery plastic boards that have absolutely no traction against plastic bed liner or each other. When properly transported, they are sandwiched between wood boards and a pallet, with proper straps and winches, ideally at bookends. People fuck up trying to transport those deck boards all day everyday. The Tesla truck is just following the trend. The added bonus is that at some point you have over 3000 lbs pivoting over the the edge of the tailgate
UltraHellboy
Yep. I used to ready construction material deliveries for Home Depot. For composite decking, you have to band it at least 5 times and wrap both ends. Even then some boards sometimes slide out.
wihskey
Those TREX type boards are sooo heavy. But the best decks by far
Like2Fox
Those specific ones are 27 lb each
onlyhalfghost
shit, that's a hefty boi.
hiyesthisissatan
Those boards are really short for deck boards too. This dumb guy had 40% of the boards hanging off the edge of the tailgate. Doesn't tesla have seats that fold down? I'm pretty sure even this dumpster could have done better without the user error. Musk really convinced these idiots that that heap of trash could do anything I guess. I'm just waiting for one of these bozos to try and drive into the ocean.
Like2Fox
Those are 12' boards
hiyesthisissatan
They look about 8'
Like2Fox
He has several of those as well, left side first photo, but most of the bulk are 12's
hiyesthisissatan
I still think you're mistaken. They guy would have to be 8-9 feet tall if those boards on the floor were 12'.
n0n53n53
It also looks like the bedline came at least partially out too
whatsisname
The proper way to haul it, for the homeowner, is to not do it at all, and instead use the lumberyard's free or nearly free delivery service that will come with an order of that size.
FlatPlutoSociety
This is the most sensible comment in the thread. If packed and tied properly, I *could* get that load from Home Depot to my house in my Outback, but a) that's a pain in the ass and b) it's still kinda risky. Best to just let the professionals do it unless you have plenty of experience securing and hauling large cargo and have a more appropriate vehicle than a Cybertruck (or Outback).

BellsTheorem
Should have invested in an actual truck.
CallMeMcGyver
Yeah, you can’t really do “truck things” with that “truck”.
TheobromineAddict
Are there any attachment points for ratchet straps in a cybertruck?
whoisyourdaddy
Yes. But there is no guarantee that the owner is smart.
hiyesthisissatan
There's almost a guarantee that the owner is not.
meauho
Or that the attachment points won't rip off the truck like the hitch - that's not connected to anything sturdy enough to actually tow with
n0n53n53
I love that the green strap he used is still holding the load together on the ground.
Malinut
Have to be frank about this: Nothing is the vehicle's fault, it's all the fault of the concept's creator. Blaming the vehicle is a bit like blaming a dumpster for spilling it's load when it was designed by racoons.
machmach
MeWelby
To be fair is you loaded up any pick up truck like that and tried to drive away, you would get the same result.
MeWelby
It just looks extra stupid in that truck.
JaTheRed
They are so dumb, both owners and the vehicles.
keyserv
I like how anyone could get a real truck that's twice as capable for half the cost.
Idontspellcheck
He forgot to tap twice and say "these babies aren't going anywhere."
WhiskyBravo
agreed
RomanSnow
Worked at a home improvement store, can confirm when we helped load peoples truck at least one person had to say it. The ritual must be respected.
VanessaBludgeons
Same goes with clacking the tongs while grilling. Failure to do so will result in dry steaks, burned burgers, and chicken that is raw in the middle.
ERKNEES
SamAndJanetEvening
The two taps are what broke it
sh17picker69000420
You have to use a strap for that magic to work.
vegivamp
Manual said to not do that, the two taps can break an axle.
87cubed
I mean ... he would have been right either way.
ShoelessLouis
I can’t believe I hadn’t learned that “one trick”. Live and learn. LOL

he did a good job of strapping the decking boards together so they exited the truck in one go

Say it with me, RATCHET STRAPS
sittingherethinkingthinkingimsittingherelisteningtoyou
The straps look intact, did the liner shoot out the back?
lbargomancer
Looks like the strap is just wrapped around the bundle and might not have been fastened to anything else.
whoisyourdaddy
He wrapped a ratchet strap around the plastic wood which holds them together, but apparently did not attach anything to the truck.
rdp98006
I was at that Lowes when it happened. When I drove past him in the parking lot he was loading everything into a rented u-haul truck.
Avilan1972
1. The guy is an idiot for buing a Cybertruck
2. The guy is an idiot for trying to use a Cybertruck for anything
3. People who replied to this on other social media kept boasting about how their F150s and whatever wouldn't have this problem and as a Swede my only response is "What, you guys are too dumb to use a normal car and a trailer but has to have your Earth-Killers?"
Shadowborne
You don't understand! How else will everyone know about my cripplingly small penis if I don't have the biggest, loudest truck I can manage?
You don't know what it's like man. At my last checkup, the doc even asked if I ever considered being a coal train operator!
Avilan1972
Also if you actually needed to go off road, you'd buy a Hilux.
Sinasohn
Or the lumberyard's delivery trucks.
theskirrid
Go on, get on the trailer with the rest of them.
GeneralPrower
The Cybertruck can't tow trailers.
AnAverageBoxEnthusiast
n0gal
Please do not risk the lives of people by attaching a trailer to the cyber truck. You can snap the frame and I'd rather not have a head on collision with a trailer that hopped the median thank you.
theskirrid
An aluminium frame for a 'truck'. Dumb. There's gonna be a lot more recalls to look forward to.
theskirrid
It was a joke comparing that trailer full of portable toilets with a cybertruck.
n0gal
Yes, but people need to be aware of the huge uncalled safety issue. The frame of the truck can snap.
skiererik
Are you referring to whistling diesel video? I don't know, but it seems like they can make a frame fine. They landed that thing on the hitch and broke it it seems. Idk
n0gal
They also dropped the Ford about 100x more times than that the cybertruck on a follow up video to prove it wouldn't break. Plus, the shear force of a loaded trailer hitting a pothole would far exceed being dropped a few feet as it was in the first video.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Seems they made ZERO attempt at fastening the load to the car. Can't actually blame the car for this one, tempting as it is.
HollowHermit
Key word: CAR, lol
FlatPlutoSociety
I obviously don't have data to back this up, but it really feels like most Cybertruck owners have never owned a truck or done the kind of work that requires a truck before and just have no idea how any of this shit works.
darthstormer
This. I've seen full-size pickups and vans do just as poor a job secure loads.
DukeDarkwood
You CAN make an implied connection between the kind of person who would fail to secure their cargo and the kind of person who would buy a cybertruck. But you're essentially correct - this isn't *specifically* the vehicle's fault.
TI99Kitty
"It's obviously beyond me; I've got more teeth than brain cells, remember?" --Cybertruck owner, probably
StellaMatutina
You're attempting to use reason to bargain with orcs
FallingStar7669
Yep. You can see in the second picture there's one strap around the load, and that's it. Definitely user error.
clipboardfuntime
This seems like the epitome of “more dollars than sense”
MeowWoof
Does the cyber truck have tie-down points?
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
No idea. I hope so lol
Pyrokneticbeavr
My Grandmother once said to me "start hoping in one and and shitting into the other and tell me which one fills up first."
thatlamer
It does, but your guess is as good as mine if they rip off the truck under the slightest load, like the bumper when towing.
thatlamer
This is a third party product, but over the course of his demonstration you can see all of the plastic looking tie down points built into the bed. And... a bottle opener... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMx0LAIk390
gablestout
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
hahaha that is rich!
SecondSince
Probably, but the warranty is voided if you actually tie something down with them.
yourCleverUsername10
XD
Zanano
It could've hauled it fine, if the dude new literally *anything* about securing loads.
Bmgm4u
The f'n tailgate broke ( insert hardy hahahahaha here)
RomanSnow
Obligatory something something I bet you know all about securing loads
CallMeMcGyver
Well, definitely wasn’t a well thought out plan with the load hanging half out the bed, are there even attachment points for securing a load?… also it looks like the bed liner detached too… not even sure if that’s a liner or the actual bed floor… I think the whole concept seems flawed.
crypticorb
Are there even hard points in the bed for securing straps?
thaGh0stD0g36
But then he would have to know anything about pick up trucks or quality vehicles? The questions abound
ConstantBitRate
What? He put a ratchet strap around the whole bundle. I don't see a problem here. It's obviously the lumberyards fault for selling an inferior product.
3Davideo
Yeah! This is the last time I get rolled steel products at a lumberyard!
iamgnat
I think it's composite boards for decking. If it was steel, the rear end would be sagging in the first pic.
ConstantBitRate
Worked vinyl siding for about 10 years (never get vinyl siding folks), which is what I thought it was at first. But the only other "plastic" I ever worked with was straight boards.. so if that is decking? *squints* it's not a solid board like I used to work with.
iamgnat
Yeah, looking again I see something that looks like channels on the underside of the boards. Maybe a PVC decking then? I can find pics showing hollow planks or with smaller channels. Composite is not light stuff (though more so than steel), so PVC would also explain the lack of compression on the rear suspension.
spattr
Is it the knewst model?
Thejamesconner
Yeah, it’s the KNEW-knew one!
Shilzy
I gnu this would happen.
2016ChevyMalibu
Your mom knows something about securing loads

There it is
horseWnoname

lazysombrero

gablestout
No way. Those are 12 foot Trex boards laid flat in a 6.5 foot truck bed. unless you have a massive counterweight up front, you're asking for disaster
Northwindlowlander
Apparently the hatch absolutely hates having weight on it, people have put similar loads in their trucks and found that afterwards it won't close flush. So, maybe not so much.
SmellingMistake
If the dude new literally *anything* about securing loads he wouldn't have bought a cyber-"truck".
Broken08
It looks like the tailgate broke
TheSkleebler
Very likely. I've heard closing them firmly bends them out of shape.
TheBlueMuppet
Perhaps his father should have secured his load and prevented that whole situation.
BigJT
CoolDoug42069
It's easy to say it's not the truck's fault, but the connection between Cybertrucks and idiots is more than correlation
Metalsmith21
It would be a lot funnier if the 2nd picture showed all the material neatly snugged into the back after the truck came to a sudden and full stop. After it penetrated to the cabin area.
lamepickle
Cybertruck owners are emboldened by their vehicles, so blaming the truck makes sense, but this is still primarily operator issues I'd say.
FussyZeus
Same as how after the first snow every year, the ditches are absolutely filled with brand new trucks who's owners assumed 4x4 meant they were impervious to mother nature. The difference being these pieces of shit wouldn't make it to the ditch.

Moridin23
Maybe. But the freeways in my area have had at least 1 ladder dropped on them nearly every day for years. Lots of people fail to secure loads
Marsupialmessiah
Metro dc and NOVA? Cuz it was hard to explain to insurance a random flying ladder broke the front an radiators on my Subaru and went further obliterating the side of the benz next to me, on i66 by the exit to state 29. Always debris there.

Central California. Happens all the time here
drucifer0
Certain vehicles attract certain drivers. You know a guy who buys a WRX is gonna mod the exhaust and hot rod around at 2am; that's why you buy a WRX. We are witnessing the same principle at work here.
thetonestarr
Tailgate probably would've collapsed and resulted in dumping the load anyways though
Ularsawa
True. It's a spurious correlation
RomanSnow
This is more a person thing. When I used to work at a construction store the amount of people who SWEAR they know better is pretty insane. "Hey you really shouldn't stack your pallet this high in the back of your truck, you need to spread it out or when you stop it'll go through your back window, or at least let me wrap it if you dont have tie downs", "It's fine I've been doing this for a decade" I literally watched him pull off up to the light from the store, brake, and shatter his back window.
mivirian
That dude: You know nothing, Roman Snow.
*Shatters own windshield*
DickTipPapercut
i cant believe you caused that by pointing it out
Craizie
Had a dude order a pallet of concrete and then pull up in a S10. I told him no way im loading that with a forklift, your truck will break . he said the same shit your dude did. He got all pissy so i told him id hand load however many I thought his truck could handle. I stopped at 9 because his susp. was sagging. He got really pissed off and just started to chunk them into the back of his truck. On # 33 there was an insanely loud pop and the wheels bowed inward and the frame was on the ground 1/2
RomanSnow
This is so fucking common it's wild, I've had plenty of people load their trucks up until they're dragging ass even though I recommended against it, they always huff and puff but they always understood when they actually stepped back and looked at the sag, even if they were grumpy about it. Usually I'd just tell them we'd have the rest of the pallet waiting in the dock and if they called ahead of time I'd meet them up there to fork the rest on the return trip so they wouldn't have to wait.
Craizie
he screamed and yelled for a manager and * I * broke his truck. We went back and watched video and at bag 9 I was like see me shaking my head "no" and waving my hands. Thats me telling him it cant take anymore. After watching the video the customer looked at my manager and was like, well... what are yall gonna do about this? My manager was like.... You can use our phone to call a tow truck if you want.
pyroshen
That's interesting. Like a casino dealer using hand signals for cameras. You clearly said no.
Craizie
Honestly I wasnt even thinking about cameras. This was hmm maybe 20 years ago?
nomorehate
Sorta looks like the tailgate broke off, wouldn't be surprising
PenneIsTheWorstPasta
Think it is just the bottom layer of the composite decking that were carrying
nomorehate
I thought so at first, but if you zoom in you can see there's something keeping the middle of the bottom layer held up and there's boards laying around it that I think are the bottom layer. I'm guessing the tailgate just gave up the ghost, which is insane considering the weight people put on other tailgates (against my advice, worked at HD back in 2019.)
bitemark
I thought it looked like the bedding itself came out. Either way it's probably something like that
nomorehate
Omg, what if it ripped the liner out AND the tailgate broke? The videos I've seen of people ripping cyber trucks apart show they're basically all snapped together with sub-par lego connections. How hilarious would it have been if the truck bisected 😂
bitemark
I would very easily believe both/either 😅 we've probably seen at least one of the same videos, where one guy is pulling on parts of the cybertuck and they just rip right off, tries the same thing on (I think) a Ford F150 and it stays together? Same with kicking the side mirrors etc
svga
hey as long as you get people driving EV's who wouldn't normally drive an EV I call it at net good
Sinasohn
I get your point but they're not driving a cyberjunk because it's an EV. So if Musk came out with a gas car that was supposed to be cool or if another mfr went viral, it wouldn't matter if it was ICE or not.
That said, I have no sympathy for people who buy those things when they go wrong. There are much better choices out there so when they just buy it to be cool, they get what they deserve.
svga
I have no sympathy either, but I'm not sure I care about the intention of why they bought an EV as long as it gets another gas car (a very unlikely EV driver as well) off the road this should be viewed as a good thing
Sinasohn
Not sure I agree when it puts $ in the pocket of a fascist working to destroy democracy. I mean, if you really want to save the planet, why not just kill off 90% of the population? That would do it.
Sometimes, the end doesn't justify the means.
digitalaaronscustoms
There is no net good with a Tesla.
svga
Tesla in general or cybertruck? I'm not sure why there is a problem no matter the brand as again it is taking another gas vehicle off of the road
TheLastBootyBender
And when the shit vehicle breaks down, making building it pointless when they go back to a gas vehicle, where is the good?
SomeDetroitGuy
Cybertrucks are neither cyber nor a truck.

Pyrokneticbeavr
I'm not one to defend the cyber truck as it is a colossal failure the likes of which weve never seen which is saying something cause pintos blew up if they got sneezed on, but it looks pretty cyber. I think they look cool but goddamn they are useless.
pareidoliaperson
Thus the idiot's correlation.
deidyomega
Not a fan of cybertrucks, but any definition of truck I can reasonable come up with includes cybertruck.
paintbullits
It's not a truck tho. It's unibody rather than having any sort of frame.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/pickup-truck
"a small vehicle with an open part at the back in which goods can be carried"
I'm curious of how you'd define truck.
paintbullits
By your definition this ain't a truck... Clearly you have something not quite correct. but as to MY definition of a truck, I'm no English major or lawyers so it's going to be reasonable, probably something along the lines of; large vehicles with separate cab and cargo area, designed to carry heavy materials
FelixT93
Honda ridgeline would like to have a word with you
paintbullits
Honda Ridgeline can say whatever it likes. It's also STILL not a truck. It's an unholy combination of SUV and sedan with an open top trunk.
