Reply by @KralikLj: Hell boy that would fit in a bicycle. Way more carbon free than that wankpanzer. (image of cargo bicycle with several bags of soil strapped to the front)

Meanwhile in a real truck…
This image broke me, 95% of the trucks I see everyday are used as commuter vehicles with nothing in the bed. And the ones that do are hauling a single sheet of plywood. I plum forgot people use trucks to move stuff.
Call me crazy, but I think original op, the one with the cyber truck, was actually making a joke
One’s gotta feel so goofy bragging about their truck hauling a load that would fit in most any compact sedan
Wankpanzer has now been added to my lexicon.
Panzerwanken. Perfect.
Can we just officially call it the Wankpanzer? That’s too good.
LOL, my son and I both drive hatchback Mazda 3’s. My son had to drive to a customers site because the boxes were too tall to fit in a truck like this. And I just went to Lowes for mulch and stuff and put 7 bags of mulch, 4 bags of dirt, and 1 bag of compost in the back with my seats down without going over my weight limit. But I did similar in my Saturn Aura 4 door with fold down back seats. I only drove a truck when I needed to tow a boat. When the boat went so did the truck
Lol, I don’t know about a bicycle but I routinely toss six bags of dirt in the back of my Honda Accord and my ex- boss has a trailer for his Corolla.
Also, presumably he got it to the checkout at the store in a grocery cart, he (I am making an assumption here that this is a dude) has to know you don’t need a truck to move it.
I’m in the unfortunate position of not living in a place to practically use that bicycle, and being unable to afford a cybertruck. I wouldn’t buy one, even if I could afford it, but I’d like to be in that position.
tbh such kind of bicycle will hardly be practical anywhere
Downvoted by delusional people who don’t live in the real world.
I get that they want bikes to be the solution to everything but stick a heavy toolbox on a bike and ride uphill, in the rain, after a heavy day working. Sure it’s fine for someone doing local runs on an open schedule with small loads but for most people that’s not how life works.
I hate driving, love bikes and agree we need to transition to better transport systems but pushing absolutely absurd non-answers is just going to make everyone laugh at the idea and dismiss it as stupid. We’ve had the same issue in the green movement so many times, anyone old enough in the uk will remember when we had an green party with an amazing platform pushing investment in solar, localisation, cycling infrastructure, and loads of good stuff then instead of talking about it every time they got platformed they talked about yogic flying and healing energy. Even my mum a total woo loving hippy was angry at them about that.
Something else they forget is that not everyone can cycle, i used to cycle all over the place until my knee injury and while even at my peek I never would have been able to get that heavy load up the hill on the way back from my local garden center I can only just do it now on a lightweight bike after years of strength rebuilding.
If you want meaningful change you need to be sensible about it so other people know you can be trusted.
(And yes I understand the yogic flying was coming from an actually sensible place when you get down to it, I was a child enrolled in similar mind and body fitness programs based on the same idealism but every time it was mentioned they’d talk about superpowers instead if saying ‘obviously it’s just exercise and breathing with mental clarity exercises combined, we think this is missing from most peoples lives and wish to enable access and understanding but recognize its only a small step in transitioning to an ecologically, emotionally and aocially suatainable way of life, which is our primary goal.’
One drove by us at the end of a hike yesterday and I literally thought… “what the fuck is… oh - oh wait is that their… ugh, oh no. Fuck this- fuck this guy driving. Hey buddy you look like a jackass fuck your Nazi CEO funding bullshit pedestrian murdering truck.”
I appreciate what Len’s going for, but showing a Cybertruck with a load that would fit in a normal car, and ‘owning’ it by showing a bike carrying what appears to be half as much, is only going to give ammo to the dipshits with their massively oversized trucks.
‘Hey, bro! My Ford SuperMacho DonkeyDong Pavement Princess edition would fit the load from the Cybertruck and the load from the cargo bike. I could throw the bike on top too!’
Reframing it as ‘the Cybertruck’s so shitty that half the load will fit on a bike with no issues, and you don’t have to be seen driving a Cybertruck’ would probably work better 👍
The packages on the bike look far longer, it’s quite possible that it actually is the same load
They do look bigger, but it seems like the pink section is bigger, and the rest is the same size as the bags in the truck, making the bike’s cargo of four bags equivalent to about five of the truck’s bags.
That’s just a guess from a bad photo though.
My curiosity has been piqued, so here are the actual numbers:
- Cargo bike: 4 x 50 L = 200 L
- Cybertruck: 8 x 0.75 cubic feet = 170 L
There’s actually more on the bike. I love this post even more now
People are so triggered by the cybertruck. I want one just for the pure entertainment value of triggering the fragile.
Literal “eats shit so other people have to smell your breath” mindset, lmao
