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

@@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.
That's me in the white hoodie. Gotta say, this was impressive to watch in person, especially as the suspension lifted the truck and the drywall up. That drywall is also so seriously heavy, multiple sheets of 5/8 4x8 firecode.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
@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.
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 👍
"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 " 😂
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.
Its surprising to me self leveling is still considered rare or new. My 1984 Mercedes 300TD wagon has (stock) self leveling suspension in the rear, I've put up to a 1000 lbs in the back a it rides totallly level.
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'.
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

@@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 🤷🏻♂️
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 ?
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.
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 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.
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)??
I know it can be a work truck, but most of 1800 pound of weight is on the tiny little piece of packer, for sure it will dent some sheetmetal underneath
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.
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.
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.

Perfect example you. … but I get it why open your mind to new things when you could just go get the same thing you already know works makes sense. I’m not disagreeing with you.
@@SHOTTYTV the last Ford I owned was a 1989 Ranger when I was 18 years old. I used Ford since that's what the OP of the video compared to and also the most expensive compared to GM or dodge. Either way, saying the cyber truck is cheaper was my main point of contention.
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)
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! 🤣
I saw a forklift loading a pickup. That was underwhelming! Would have been nice to see some actual hauling like the title suggested... Some performance stats or even observation was too much to hope for.
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.
😂 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.
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.
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.
You've put the whole 1800# on the drywall sticker underneath thus concentrating the load in the one thin strip of bed rather than evenly distributed. The correct action would have been to pull the forks back and pull that sticker out. Or better yet, spend $50 on delivery. You've documented very poor practice, and probably voided your warranty.
@@Drcraigfreeman 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.
Put a couple sawhorses parallel with the stack at the end sticking out. Prop the stack up with 2x4s so more than half the weight is off the truck. Drive forward as much as possible, ensuring the stack is sliding on the truck. Add one more sawhorse at the other end and prop it up off the truck. Drive away. Done.
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.
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.
When a load is pushed in like that, it puts a lot of strain on the drive drain. For ICE trucks, I start the truck, put it in neutral, and apply the brakes. If you leave it in park, the transmission shear pin can break if you have lousy emergency brakes. Not sure about the electrical drive train, but I would get in and apply the brakes as well. My F350 dually has a payload of 7,100 lbs., drives real nice with about 4,000 lbs in the back. Cheers.
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.
@@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.
*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.*
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...
I put that in my 1 ton van no problem and close the doors so that the sheets don't get ruined on the way to the job when it starts raining, oh and I can fit 12 foot sheets with the doors closed.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.

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"

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 🤷🏻♂️
Home Depot said I must load my sheet rock BY HAND!!! How did you get them to use the forklift like this? This is against home depot policy
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 ?
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. 😂
That's a lot of weight sticking right out at the rear? ⚠️😲😳🤔
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
NICE!!!!!! Whats next?
Taking requests!
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
Should have put three full-length 4 x 4 Runners underneath the drywall it would reduce weight on the tailgate and do less damage to that bottom sheet
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
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.
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 😅
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
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)??
I know it can be a work truck, but most of 1800 pound of weight is on the tiny little piece of packer, for sure it will dent some sheetmetal underneath
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.
I saw loading, but I didn't see hauling.
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
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!
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 😅
It's the DeLorean truck model. Don't tell Dr. Brown or Marty it might give them ideas.
Seeing that little roll around table hold it was far more impressive than seeing the truck hold it.
can't wait for more real content. please include charging details.. how much $$ per charge, how long and how often.. thanks!
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 love you said not as expensive as the fords and diesels ... cuz its too true.. people don't realize..... love it bro.. keep the vids coming BIG Tesla fan... I have a bagged Tesla model 3 with lots of work to it....
2024 Ford F-250 King Ranch 6.7L V8 Diesel Crew Cab Long Box: $89,670. So yes it is actually a hair cheaper and 10X the truck for this application.
@@allaboutroofing2 but they have cyber trucks cheaper than that. That’s the whole point of what he said … I’d personally rather get new technology than technology that’s been around over 100 years… I don’t know. … to each their own. 10 times the truck I don’t know about that one buddy.
@@SHOTTYTV As does Ford... The king Ranch is a fully loaded truck. I'd rather have something that is proven reliable, so to each their own. My point was saying it is cheaper is not factual.
@@allaboutroofing2 yeah I hear ya I’m a Chevy fan before I was a Tesla fan so you already know I dislike Ford everything … yeah, a lot of people are just stuck with the past of what they know works and not open to new technology. Perfect example you. … but I get it why open your mind to new things when you could just go get the same thing you already know works makes sense. I’m not disagreeing with you.
@@SHOTTYTV the last Ford I owned was a 1989 Ranger when I was 18 years old. I used Ford since that's what the OP of the video compared to and also the most expensive compared to GM or dodge. Either way, saying the cyber truck is cheaper was my main point of contention.
Great taste in music 👌
When are u getting urs
🙂
Had the forklift driver done any training on how to operate it??
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.
2:18 carefully don't damage the flat cart those things are expensive, they cost over $400
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
First day on the job?
No there were idiot pencil pushers who didn't know anything about construction work hauling or loading pickups that designed this piece of crap
Look at the towing test, only 160 miles range on flat ground with only 6000lbs. A model T can beat it lol.
That’s if it even gets past 60, miles with a load.
I saw a forklift loading a pickup. That was underwhelming! Would have been nice to see some actual hauling like the title suggested... Some performance stats or even observation was too much to hope for.
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.
2005 Silverado we have put 50 pcs of 5/8 4x8 drywall and boxes of mud in it, what’s the big hype?
😂 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..
They spent millions on a recall for a fatal flaw they could have prevented with a ten cent screw.
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
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.
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
Well the wheel is too close to the wheel wheel wheel in any case. If you hit a bump or pothole with that much load , rip your axel .
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.
Just out of my face tho
Where are the tail lights? Are they now facing the ground?
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.
Dont worry few companies are making waves over there, so weid they dont do it, but id kill to be able to run flat top gooseneck trailers like they do
You've put the whole 1800# on the drywall sticker underneath thus concentrating the load in the one thin strip of bed rather than evenly distributed.
The correct action would have been to pull the forks back and pull that sticker out. Or better yet, spend $50 on delivery. You've documented very poor practice, and probably voided your warranty.
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
Why would he put blocking the long way on the bottom center of the load. Trying to split the Sheetrock down the middle?
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?
@@Drcraigfreemanit can't do much else champ so yeah makes sense to actually see it..😂
@@Drcraigfreeman 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.
Real question is ... how are you gonna unload it when you get home??
Sheet by sheet!
Who knows..
Put a couple sawhorses parallel with the stack at the end sticking out. Prop the stack up with 2x4s so more than half the weight is off the truck. Drive forward as much as possible, ensuring the stack is sliding on the truck. Add one more sawhorse at the other end and prop it up off the truck. Drive away. Done.
This is where the beast acceleration comes into play.
1. Remove tie down straps.
2. Floor it.
Aren't they sheets?
With men, I assume - how drywall is always unloaded.
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
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 -
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.
When a load is pushed in like that, it puts a lot of strain on the drive drain. For ICE trucks, I start the truck, put it in neutral, and apply the brakes. If you leave it in park, the transmission shear pin can break if you have lousy emergency brakes. Not sure about the electrical drive train, but I would get in and apply the brakes as well. My F350 dually has a payload of 7,100 lbs., drives real nice with about 4,000 lbs in the back. Cheers.
I would like to see it in motion. You know hauling.
Did Cybertruck managed to go by itself after the loading?
Why are you still using the wheel covers that destroy the tires?
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.
Good video. Thanks for posting!!
Wow video evidence of a voided warranty. 👏
*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.*
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
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...
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
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
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.
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
I put that in my 1 ton van no problem and close the doors so that the sheets don't get ruined on the way to the job when it starts raining, oh and I can fit 12 foot sheets with the doors closed.
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.
I question how those will come back out.
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.
So was that a 4x10' sheet?
Yes
