- Demo of a forklift loading 36 full 4x8ft 5/8in thick drywall in our AWD Cybertruck! There is a short on our channel of the truck arriving successfully to our shop. (note after further research, it is more expensive than a lot of other trucks as is LOL)

34 sheets of drywall. Impressive. I'm pretty sure that bottom sheet was destroyed. The guy had the tilt too high on the forklift.
I thought he did pretty well for a guy that just started yesterday.
plus they left the board between the sheet rock and the bed after they pulled the forks out, so now all that weight is on that part of the truck.
you need to watch those guys
😂@@sergioguillen2530
You could see how the whole stack was tilting left and right because of that board left under it. Not cool. I'm glad though this didn't end up like one of those fail videos (for the CT's sake) 😂
Remind me to never videotape anything ever being loaded into my truck. :-)
I was going to buy a Cybertruck for this very reason but then realized it was only 50 bucks to rent the F250 flatbed from HD for my drywall runs.
Literally what I think when I see people drive trucks for their daily commute
Wow, that's actually a pretty good deal.
@@braxtonclaflin1818 Same, not sure I can justify a personal truck unless it was being used as a truck almost daily and not a passenger/commute vehicle.
I've been doing that too. But unfortunately, the trucks are frequently sold out at every HD and Lowes nearby me when I actually it. Will be trying to buy a cheap truck soon just for small jobs. Would love to have the CT or even Lightning or Rivian, even for a daily driver. Cheap enough to drive daily with electricity from home. But the trucks are way too expensive at the moment. Maybe in a few years.
I love Home Depot. Wish Lowes did that. Supposedly some do, but not the one in my area.
Finally! Practical use cases demonstrated. Nice. More please.
Sure... now accellerate and see how long the load staysin the cargo bed with those straps....
aaron doesnt need to see the Cybertruck actually drive with it .. easily pleased arent you Aaron?
I need to see this guy drive home. Hopefully there are no hills or speed bumps.
I'm sure it handles real well with all that weight behind the rear axle
This doesn't show anything. I have put a similar load in my 02 f150 with the super short bed. It sat fine. Drove like shit and stuck out too far. Loaded just fine though. Show it driving and how it did and power consumption. That would show real world use in my opinion
If a tradesperson ever turns up with a Cybertuck (social media truck) they have lost the job.
They probably ask to charge it for 8 hrs because of no more left.
I can do whatever I want
Thank you!! I can't picture it!! Dude steps out wearing hoops in his ears and blue hair.
THIS is the type of cyber truck video ive been waiting for. Thank you!!
Now wait for it to get to its destination.
we've had 2 Tesla truck not drive away with loads over 1500 lbs at our store. A motor locked up on one and another tesla the door would pop open and the truck would not move after that. Both took special tow trucks to move them from the lot.
I remember when the F-35 and the F-22 had teething problems like this. Now they're clubbing F-15s, F-16s, and F-18s like baby seals in exercises. And terrorizing your enemies when they come close to their borders.
LOL!!! That is some funny shit!! Considering I'm a veteran drywaller, and I know what can happen when even a three quatre ton truck gets overloaded. No front brakes!!! These EV owners are so over obsessive to prove a point!! But they bite it every time.
@@Bobbygetlucky-kc3fy They're not overloading the Cybertruck here.
Wow, that air suspension coming in clutch, and the truck looks good while hauling that.
Thanks 😎 glad to find it can do truck stuff
Shit will prolly on make it 10 miles after all electric sucked out of it
@@chrissmith8469- Are you 12? Do a little research before sounding dumb.

Nice to see it doing work! Would have been good to get a shot of it driving with it too.
That's what I'm hoping for as well.
was hoping for that
Wont go anywhere.
Yea it was dark out, in hind sight i should have!
@@CyberTruckSecrets Can hindsight see in the dark?
Nice! When you want to unload, just back up to where you want it dropped off, put it in drag strip mode and accelerate away and it will unload itself! 🤣
And youll have pile of broken drywall sht 😂
@@WANDERER0070 well, you might get a couple in the middle that survive 🤷🏼♂️
I want to see that video!
I REALLY wanted to LOL
Interesting to see a cybertruck finally used for truck things.
*You mean, instead of drag racing?*
Hope to add more soon!
Have you seen the video of it on the sand dunes? Badass
Only allowed two trips like these, the third voids the warranty...LOL!!
This is what I needed to see, I want to see more Home Depot and Lowes trips. This is how I will be using my CT.
How early did you place your order… before or after delivery event?!
@@ObeyTheAlgorithm Before the Event. A few months after the CT was first announced on stage.
Will you be putting stuff in the bed... and not driving it ? 😉
@@jabberwolf7348 I will be doing lots of Lowe’s and home depot trips in spring. Will put anything that fits
Impressive considering the a lot of the load initially was taken up by just the gate! Elon will be proud.
tailgate is spring loaded , becareful.
around half the load. The other half on the forklift or rolling table
@@ConnectingODots - how about , just have it Delivered ?
Yeah, cringed at that! Initial set down.
Well, there goes the tailgate.
@@markplott4820 It's ironic, but that's what most people do. Buy a truck to haul things, and then have things delivered because it's too much work/risk to go haul things.
1800 Ibs is crazy. This is what I like to see the Cybertruck doing. Thanks for the video!
lol
1800lbs is crazy lol your crazy. A half ton 4 cylinder would take that without overloading. Even a mini van with the seats down would take it. This is not impressive at all. A 30 year old 3/4 ton would handle more than double that without a struggle
Whats crazy about 1800lbs?
@abrahame6470 that weight 1800lbs is not much for any vehicle. You could put that in a mini van or a light truck. Working in the trades we deal with lots of weight. We can put that load in a 50 year old truck or a modern half ton no problem.
@@Nordic67exactly what im saying is not a lot. Sometimes i load that much weight in my 99 ranger obviously is not safe but sometimes you have to get the job done.
That bottom sheet is destroyed for sure
That is the offcuts sheet now. Home-depot loading service ...
Most are not perfect. Thd doesnt care how the drywall they sell looks but the bottom sheet was actually ok!
Drywall is cheap you always have a few sacrificial sheets
Yeah, I would think the tips of the fork would gouge the bottom sheet. Usually, they tilt the blades to match the bottom sheet and use the guard at the aft edge to push the stack in.
@@craigkovatch7564 drywall 5 years ago was cheap…it’s not cheap anymore
Stumbled across this video while walking through UA-cam for content on cyber truck. Thank you for sharing this. This is one of the things on my personal list that I wanted to see done with the cyber truck hauling all decent load in the box as well as towing. This was on my list, and this definitely covers what I wanted to see for something being hauled in the box👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanks again next thing on my list is is to see them Hall some round bales and use it on a farm
My friend, I'm afraid this video didn't show this hauling anything. It was just carefully loaded. I doubt it could drive well loaded like that. And how did the suspension hold up? Maybe once. I double it could it do it often like a real truck.
There are a lot of safety issues that would get us fired at our Home depot store.
My store too. What happen to the" Zone of Safety" fellas? Coaching... 😂
American pickups none trucks (this is not a truck, a truck is a heavy vehicle) have no convenience AT ALL !
This is a proper vehicle for this kind of things:

@@fabr5747 you do realize we have flatbed trucks here as well right? Most homeowners aren’t looking to own a flatbed or box truck for the occasional trip to do something like this. A 4wd 3/4 ton can go off road, haul whatever you can fit in an 8ft bed, pull a trailer for anything that doesn’t fit, and still be driven to work or the grocery or trips, etc. And In the 🇺🇸, it is considered a truck by most people’s standards 🤷🏻♂️
well done sir. masterful forklifting!
A master would not have trouble leveling the forks. Guy was all over the place.

@@SteveRCPilot made me cringe a bit
Fabulously fine forkin for sure.
That was insanely bad from perspective. It was painful to watch actually.
"yeah, can i get half a pallet of sheetrock, and can you make sure you send a nice fracture right down the middle of the pile.... Also can you kinda pierce the bottom with the forks a bit too? I. Going for a rustic look on my walls " 😂
Nothing mud won't fix.
I wonder if it is better for the air suspension to inflate / rise before the load and not after. It seems the extra load would cause unnecessary stress on the compressor.
I was expecting to auto raise - the last time i had 500+ lbs in it it raised up on its own with a quick "pssst"
There is apparently a small storage tank at 350 psi. This is one reason that it doesn't offer an air compressor outlet to run other equipment. This means is responds quickly, but then takes time to refill the small storage tank.
Of course you're right, common sense should have dictated not to try raising the ride height while so heavily loaded...that was hard to watch.
@@endi4realLike in any hydraulic system, the pneumatic pump is designed to be able to pressurize at the max load; however, I agree that it would have made the pump's life a lot easier if it was raised before the truck was loaded.
Finally a real Cybertruck channel I’ll be following. The rest all cares about themselves and how they like to wrap their truck etc… thanks for sharing this video. I’ll be following your channel .
Thank you! Although it currently getting wrapped but thats because we own a wrap shop hah! We will continue truck stuff when its done
Forklift skills need a bit of work, but that’s a real life test for sure. I would not have had the courage to let someone else load my brand new truck like that.
That seems to be the normal technique for loading onto pickups with sides or box trucks (U-Haul). Flatbed trucks are loaded from the sides.
Like how home depot would have delivered it on a flat bed and saved everyone time and money.
Or you need a vehicle adapted for that need?
ua-cam.com/video/YbXi3qg7sf4/v-deo.html
Very good video to see. All the comments about saying you should have towed, and why do that, etc. make me wonder what else a truck is used for? This is exactly what I would do with mine too. Thank you for sharing.
Question, do you feel the compressor REALLY struggled? I can tell it did but I am wondering how it sounded. Heck, now I want to know how many psi those bags operate under with this weight?
Well to make use of a truck properly you would be towing... thats predominantly what trucks do. Loading the bed to max just wears down your expensive truck instead of cheap trailer.
The load was centered behind the rear axle. Which is very dangerous.
@@Top-NotchRentalsso what’s the point of a bed?
@@smvballer6
filling it up with ice cubes for tailgate.
@@olaf9957 😆
So brave letting the HD evening crew put 34 sheets in your cybertruck! They did a pretty good job though all things considered. 👍🏻
That is the worst forklift loading I've seen hahaha
get what you pay for LOL - my back thanks him
Fork-lifting like that. Now against Home Depot policy!
Wow , that is so impressive, I thought truck was gonna do wheelie with that much load in the back. Great Tesla
The truck is super heavy from the battery.
Lol i remember as a kid we had those penny racers you’d put a penny as a weight in the back and when you wound them up they’d do a wheelie.
Getting it loaded and making it home are two entirely different things......
Good video. Thanks for posting!!
It'd be awesome to know what kinda range you got. I know that weight isn't something you'd haul regularly but that would be a cool stat to have
Great taste in music 👌
When are u getting urs
🙂
Seeing that little roll around table hold it was far more impressive than seeing the truck hold it.
If that is 4x8 5/8 fireguard it is 70lbs a sheet, over 2,400 lbs loaded in there. When I load it in trucks I tear the papers off and float them in one at a time. It sucks having to pull them out in doubles.
It’s probably 1/2”, not 5/8”
@@EricPeelMusic1. Usually fire rated is 5/8. 2. It says it is 5/8 in the video description 😛
That's amazing! Only half of the load is hanging out. Great work truck.
😂😂🤦♂️
It's over 6 foot
8-foot sheets, 6-foot bed. That's how it would look on my Taco with a 6-foot bed. However, they won't fit between the wheel wells so they stick those risers in the bed to hold the sheets high enough to clear the wheel wells.
Your math sucks
@@foxtrotwolf6081 I fit sheets of drywall and plywood flat inside of my Honda Odyssey 2006 and closing rear door.
Tailgate looks like it is bending down further than it is supposed to. Might be better to put an extra packer under the load to distribute the weight more evenly. Like someone else in the comments said. I would load one sheet at a time for safety and avoiding damage. At one point I wondered if the whole pack of sheets might snap in the middle.
$9/hr to load drywall by hand or $15/hr to load it by forklift and there's no tipping these guys. I understand why the crew decided to call the forklift guy over, there's probably a line of angry cars behind him trying to get loaded and just waiting there.
Based on how long it took them to load it with the lift, I can load those in the same amount of time by hand. With two people it would be even faster. @@TheBowersj
@@davestir5743 fair enough, I appreciate any level of help these lot attendants offer when loading vehicles.
I love my Aussie drop side tray. No rooting around with trolleys or worrying about hitting anything. Forklift, straight up to the side...job's done. There is an untapped market in the US for the types of utes that we use over here.
Isn't the payload the weight of the contents in the bed + the passengers in the cab? What was the total weight available (specifically stated on the vehicle as configured NOT what is stated on the website)??
The sound of the orange dolly before it came into frame made my heart leap a couple of beats - thought the forklift knocked the tailgate off the truck
Cool to see cybertruck being used as a truck, I don’t think that will be very common, but I appreciate it. Waiting mine to do the same 😅
This is the first construction use i have seen with the cybertruck
That’s because 90% of pickup owners work if offices they just want everyone to think they’re real men on the weekends..
no one working for $20 hr on a construction job will be buying the cyber el camino
@@cardboardboxification 20 an hour? Is that what you make ? Because you’re extremely underpaid
I'm wondering if it would have been better, to have the suspension max out before installing that load?
Won't material. Your not understanding that it's the same air pressure no matter how much weight in on it.
Wow, first time loading drywall into ANY truck?
Would have been faster to just have a couple dudes manually load it, that was an absolute shit show. Fun to see all these people praising this. 😂
this is the kind of content I wanna see ..not "oh hey look at my new wrap and new wheels" content..so over it. I wanna see it put to WORK!
Agreed
I hope Home Depot corporate doesn't get wind of this video. We are now expressly forbidden to load drywall this way. Has to be hand loaded. Cool video though.
Because it's stupid, dangerous, risk to break cars.
American pickups have a design that have NO interest for real construction vehicles. Look at the European designs...
ua-cam.com/video/YbXi3qg7sf4/v-deo.html
Unbeatable in convenience, ease to load, solidity, no need to worry about the body of the vehicle, can be loaded safely by forklifts and by cranes, etc...
Americans have ridiculous designs...
Sure makes one realize just how small the bed is with that much sticking out the back…
Thanks for the vid!
It's a full size 6ft bed though.
*It's a normal size bed but with more width than most truck since there's no wheel well like other trucks have.* *Only two feet of the 8 foot drywall hangs off the bed.*
The bed is 4'6" wide and 6ft long
@@radicalrick9587 normal bed size is 8 feet long with tailgate closed… I’ve had pick up trucks for close to 40 years… That’s clearly a short box…
@@getyourbone *Hey don't shoot the messenger. Those are numbers I got from UA-cam Truck people. Clearly, you've got big beds and normal beds, like the Taco which is 6 ft in length but width is smaller with the wheel well in the way, which the CyberTruck does not have, hence more width space.* *I had an SUV that could fit a whole 4x8 ft plywood in the back, backdoor closed, no problem, but it was a much bigger SUV than most. My Dodge Journey AWD can't do either, width or length without something hanging out the back.*
Cool video! That was really neat to see!
Great stuff
Would it be better to extend the suspension fully and then load the bed and adjust the height lower, to go easy on the air compressor?
Of course yes...seeing what they did was difficult to watch.
@@endi4real- Difficult to watch? You must have a weak stomach 😅
I would worry about lack of proper tie downs . If i had a truck for work i would like tie downs on the outside of the truck bed . Like the ild Datsun 720 or Nissan D21 . Where did all the external tie downs go ?
I pick up quite a few loads like this, the trick is to get a piece of sacrificial osb/plywood on the bottom. I have a 46" by 8' skid I bring to go on top of that. It makes it way easier for the yard guy.
question how was the drive back how far did you go with this load ?
It honestly drove pretty normal, we took it easy but the ride and handling was still great
@@CyberTruckSecrets Nice was wondering if the handling was compromised any i plan on throwing a lot heavy stuff in mine
My goodness! The compressor is a beast too. Lets give that a round of applause too. Do you feel the weight when you drive 45mph? 70mph?
1800 lb is LESS than MAX rating of 2500 lbs.
Went up to about 65, felt normal to drive!
@@CyberTruckSecrets Going 65 with that load secured like that kind of says it all. I now understand why you bought that "truck"
@@markplott4820 it exceeds it actually. Bed is rated for 1310 lbs if not the cyberbeast. Cyberbeast has less because of more weight. The 2500lbs is the total payload for entire truck, not just the bed.
@@andrewfischer3971 - the BED can take FULL load, minus the frunk & under trunk w/ minimal crew.
Nice, how much less of range was after loading up?
Nice ! Why not lift it before you put the load in ?
If no one slaps it, saying, "that ain't goin anywhere", is it really loaded correctly?
🤣🤣🤣
its still only 1800lbs. Even my 4cyl transit van (basically a focus with a small van back end) is rated for 1500lbs. The cybertruck is rated for 2500lbs. You could throw a few bags of concrete in there and all your tools in the back seat and it will still be fine. Since brakes dont wear as much and it doesnt have a transmission, compared to a normal truck even if you have to work on suspension in the future id say this of work puts less wear on the Tesla
The transits rating is based mostly on the tires limits and upgraded shocks (from focus chassis). But, how it handles and pulls the weight is where there is a dramatic difference. No comparison whatsoever (I've had 1800 in my transit, and it's worrisome).In the cybertruck, you can't feel any difference.
that cargo rating also includes the occupants of the vehicle and the rest of the stuff you pack in. so, 180-200;b man... thats pushing 2k. 500 under for the CT, but over on your transit (the cargo weight also includes the tongue weight of whatever is being hauled)
it's closer to 2300lbs. it's 5/8" which weighs roughly 70lb per sheet.
How did it drive with that amount of weight?
Now this is where I love an 8 foot bed. no need to tie down, it fits right in there with the tailgate up.
a real truck has a 8' bed or a 10'6" bed
Still have to tie it down unless you want it all over the road. So you're just hating.
For cargo loads, nothing better as a flat bed with side panels. Easier to load and unload. As more affordable to repair if damaged.
I don't like how they supported the end of the stack with a single bar instead of three - 1 where it was and 1 on the outside of each fork before the forklift backed away.
I agree, they might crack a few sheets on the way home
How far did this 100k+ urinal have to travel and what was the battery level when it got there? 🤔
Good video, congrats on getting your truck. When did you place your order?
That doesn't look like a very well-balanced load to me. Notice at 3:50 that approximately 3/4+ of the load is behind the rear axle. Is there still enough weight on the front axle to provide sufficient steering control on the front wheels? I thought that the bed length was just over 6-1/2' with the tailgate closed. Assuming those are 4'x8' sheets, it looks like the bed length is 6-1/2' with the tailgate down, because the sheetrock is extending over the end of the tailgate approximately 1-1/2'.
It has steer by wire. I believe it's the first production vehicle to ever have steer by wire. It's all computerized.
*Don't forget, that back wheels turn too.* *But nevertheless, I would have loved to have seen it doing a wheelie all the way home.*
@@ronin7645 Steer by wire has nothing to do with proper weight distribution of the load over the axles.
@@edschultheis9537- The owner said it drove like a dream on the way home.
*These boys are not exactly the brightest tool in the shed, putting a board down under the center like that without side support could have cracked the whole drywall load down the center.*
What kind of hit did you take regarding range?
Is the drywall all the way forward? I know it's only a 6' bed, but it seems like it's also a full foot from the front of the bed.
Those are ten foot sheets of drywall, eight feet to the tailgate edge…
Wow, you're using a truck to do something that trucks can do!
its more like a fancy el camino, I wouldn't consider it a truck
Prototype CyberTruck had automatic self leveling suspension. So it will level itself if a heavy load is in the bed. Maybe it comes through a software update.
Wait that's not standard with the truck already? Dafuq
It does, but it needs time for the compressor to inflate the shocks when the truck is on
Suspension was set to low
Started rising after being set higher
It usually does auto raise, but i think because one of the doors was open it didnt this time
It's raised at end of video
Im really curious how the handling felt driving it home, having that much weight added changes the driving characteristics of any truck. (I drive an extended bed, crew cab F-350 dully, you can tell when the back is loaded.
Not "hauling", more like "being loaded".
@@camgere yeah, I would agree that your term is more accurate.
He responded to other people asking this question - he said it drove pretty much the same, though they didn't do anything crazy, just normal, gentle driving.
@@truhartwood3170 Thanks! I tried to see if he did, guess I just didn't scroll enough.
So one issue I see is with the tail gate down you won't have any rear lights being there integrated into tailgate?
Does the truck change the shock damping based upon hauled weight? Or an adaptive mode?
👍🏾😎 Truck doing truck things
You mean, ugly truck doing truck things 😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a video on the cybertruck actually driving with that load?
Ive got a short of it backing it into our shop :) but looks just like a truck driving with drywall in the bed LOL
Need to see the ride back to the job site,, did the front end stay on the road,,
Stayed totally level the whole way! See our short for the arrival at our shop
Actual video:
Somebody puts a bunch of drywall in the bed of a Cybertruck
Nowhere in this video is anybody 'hauling' it.
So you imply that the CT couldn’t drive with a partial load in its bed? Seriously?
@@craigfreeman9280it can't do much else champ so yeah makes sense to actually see it..😂
@@craigfreeman9280 I stated what I stated. This doesn't show the Cybertruck "HAULING" anything. Just loading it. Can it? Probably, but we dont' see that here.
how much more regen did you get with 1800 more lbs added to the weight of the vehicle?
The regen is super strong as is, hard to know
infinite mileage now, bro
*Every stop added 50 miles to the range.* 🤣
Doubt it made much difference. The truck empty will max out regen, adding more weight would just increase the chances of having to use friction brakes to help.
I mean at the end of the day, it's still just a truck. It looks different and has covers on the side of the bed, but it's still a truck.
One of the few intelligent comments so far 👍
it's a fancy el camino , not really a truck
How much did carrying this load reduce the range (battery life)?
Look at the towing test, only 160 miles range on flat ground with only 6000lbs. A model T can beat it lol.
I would like to see it in motion. You know hauling.
I saw a cybertruck being loaded and sitting with a load of drywall in the bed. The truck didnt move, where's the hauling part? How far did it go with that load? Based on this, my saw horses can haul the same load and don't require charging and only cost a hundred bucks.
Check out the short on our channel were it arrived at the shop a few miles away -
can't wait for more real content. please include charging details.. how much $$ per charge, how long and how often.. thanks!
Should've added a tarp on the bed. It would have slid the dry wall easier and protect the liner.
or laid down a couple 2x4's for sliders
There is a tarp, just look at the beginning of the video
Would love to see the suspension level back up.
@4:45
Auto load level would be a good future software add
@@neightarch- It has auto level. I think due to the door being open is the reason it didn't auto level
The right side looked like it had less weight on it (forked)? Distance from tire and wheel well...well?, and better take the very smooth road home.
Didn’t see it actualy drive off ? and out the dry wall boards actualy dry wall boards or just foam ? and the vehicle didn’t go down on its suspension ? I reckon it’s all been set up 👍
Is it possible ? Yes. Would a trailer have been better and easier for forklift and material ? Yes.
I mean, a truck has a bed for a reason. Use it.
Probably it something you’ll see most CT drivers doing.
First and only time this will ever be done with a Cybertruk.
You do realize the CT is really a truck build to work, and most likely not just a grocery getter?

I’m more impressed with the skills and dedication the Home Depot employees have rather than the truck itself.
We were thankful for the free help!
1800 is a nice payload. But isn't really something to brag about. I like seeing straps rated for 500 pounds being used to secure a load 3 times it's rating.
1klbs each on the straps 😉
@@CyberTruckSecrets no bud, those husky straps are rated for 500 pounds. Look it up...I just did to verify what I already knew and yep, 500 pounds.
You know the weight applied to the straps isn't the weight of the load, right? They're not suspended 😂
@@GregHassler you know loads can shift and straps are rated for a reason right? It's why you see commercial flat bed trailers with massive 6" straps or chains depending on the load. On a incline or under acceleration, a 1800 lb load can easily put the entire weight of the load on the strap. Think.
Quicker loading them by hand!!
How are they going to unload it?
I've heard lots about the 11k towing capacity. What is the "carrying " capacity ot whatever the term would be for loading the bed?
payload for CT is 2500lbs
2.5K lbs.
I believe the term is "hauling", just as the term for pulling something behind it is "towing".
Looks ok. But illustrates why I don't want a pickup. I haul construction material occasionally, and owning a truck would be handy, but having the load hang off the back like that freaks me out. And you can see how much trouble they had getting the drywall loaded because of the bed.
If I get the stuff delivered on a flatbed or a cube van, it's easy to load and unload without damage. Nothing hangs off the back.
So as long I only need to haul stuff occasionally, I'll stick with a car and get things delivered. If I start needing to haul stuff regularly, I'll invest in a small flatbed.
Looks like longer 8 x 12 sheets. No babying the truck, put it to work. I want a Cybertruck, plug in my tools and welder in the truck outlet. Bamm!
These were 4x8 - we used our shuttle bus for the 4x12' haha
6' bed, only sticking out around 3'. This is because of the back angle of the bed. These are 4*8 sheets. There looks to be 34 sheets. This would be consistent with the 1800 lbs load in the description for 1/2" drywall.
@@2DahMoonYes, this really shows how misleading Tesla is when they claim that it is a 6 foot bed.
@@TroySavaryI mean even with that ledge it's still larger than every other bed in the EV truck segment.
@@TroySavary I'm still getting the tri-motor. The video demonstrates it's real world utility. For 4*10 or 4*12 material, it's time to get that U-Haul 6*12 trailer for easier loading and unloading. CT3 is perfect for most real world application, like hauling 4 skids of pavers.
how well did it drive back. range wise and handling.
Was only a few miles to our shop so didnt do a long range test. But it drove totally normally
Does it come with crew cab?
😂 it’s crazy how people think this truck is not a highly capable truck. It was designed by the best engineers on the planet. Glad to see content like this so people can see for themselves. This is one hell of a truck.
I can only hope I live long enough to be able to have one, two plus million orders in front of me 🎉
Highly capable 🤣 Any ute can carry that..
Thanks for this video. I'm now cancelling my CT reservation.
Is it true the the wheels are a rubber material on these?
I question how those will come back out.
Good training video for Home Depot to use for how *not* to load a truck. Added extra suspense using their wobbly cart. 😅
