It's all just a hologram, man.

The moon landing was FAKE!!!!!

Those moon rocks at the Air & Space Museum? Just hardened Playdough.

Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place?

Do you think that's air you're breathing now?

CEO of BMW is Oliver Zipse. He didn't invent the M5 but I sure as hell loved the two I had.

People get too caught up in Musk personally. I like SpaceX and Tesla though and like the work they do.

This is turning out into cannot drive 500 miles without stopping while towing a caravan @100 mph type of parody. When reality parodies a parody the lines are blurred.

Musk promised the Cybertruck could drive on the moon. Has yet to drive the Cybertruck on the moon. What an ass. Also, Musk did NOT invent the moon.

As someone who currently owns a G80 M3 and used to own an E90 M3 I think the Cybertruck looks great.

I've always found blind brand loyalty to be really absurd like some of these comments hating on Tesla without owning one.

There are alot of cool products out there, liking one does not mean you are betraying the other.

Cybertruck loaded with 1800lbs of Drywall. Looks like the tailgate held firm.

I have to look closer at it, but the tailgate doesn't seem to have a mid-open position.

I had to look up what mid-open position tailgate even was. I've never used it in my F150 or F350 (assuming they even have the adjustment).

I'm guessing the cybertruck does not just looking at the mechanism for the tailgate in this video (around 7:50 mark). Plus I'm not sure it's something the vast majority of people would know about or use. Certainly not whom I imagine to be a "typical" cybertruck buyers.

My H3T has it. A great feature for short beds if you go pick up some dimensional lumber (i.e. 2x4). It lets the tailgate open about 1/3 the way down by moving the support cables to the secondary position. Keeps the load in the box without having to strap it down.

Question is, if you launch in Beast Mode can you get the sheetrock to slide out the back like in a cartoon?
