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

Where can I get a wheelbarrow bike like that? That actually looks cool..

That particular frame is made by Harry Vs. Larry, called the Bullitt bike, or eBullitt for the electric version. If in the US you may need to do a bit of digging on and offline to find a distributor.

Theyโ€™re called โ€œbakfietโ€ or โ€œlongjohnโ€ cargo bikes. Similar bikes are made by Urban Arrow, R&M, Bakfiet.nl, and others that arenโ€™t top of mind for me at the moment

They are called Cargo Bikes and they come in many forms. This is one of them. Another has a bucket front, and the most common third one involves a big T R U N K that can hold kids, or cargo.

Beware if you're used to what Bikes cost at Walmart - you're in for sticker shock.

I wanted to get the kind that had the trunk for taking my kids on bike rides but they start at 2 grand. I ain't got that kinda money for a nice-thing-to-do.

Oof... Well thanks anyway ๐Ÿ˜…

I mean I'm all for making fun of truck owners but in this case it's just straight up not a good comparison. The bicycle is carrying half the number of bags...

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Also: distance, hills, etc.

That bike is a better solution for a lot of people, but let's not pretend it's a practical one for everyone.

They're far bigger bags. I went to find the original images elsewhere in the thread. The bike is carrying 200 litres of soil, the truck is only carrying 170 L

L stands for liters and not liquid.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

L stands for what you take because you tjink soil is a liquud

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I guess I can't bake anymore since I can't measure out a cup of sugar

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A litre is just a measure of volume. You can measure any volume with litres. The packages on the cargo bike straight up have "50 L" printed on the side of them.

People are so triggered by the cybertruck. I want one just for the pure entertainment value of triggering the fragile.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Literal "eats shit so other people have to smell your breath" mindset, lmao

Your comment alone is triggering people but im the same exact boat. My brother in law has it and mentioned that most of his interactions were actually really positive with just a few negative. MKBHD has said the same thing in his review.

I probably would have gone through with it if they managed to keep the original range that was promised, even with the price hike. 500 mi epa for an electric truck like that is crazy, but it got downgraded pretty hard.

I have a different Tesla right now and itโ€™s awesome driving past gas guzzlers for free knowing how much itโ€™s costing them to drive their smallpenismobiles around while I drive for free (yea, free charging still exists). I pay insurance and thatโ€™s it. Might need new tires next year.

Call me crazy, but I think original op, the one with the cyber truck, was actually making a joke

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

The account is literally called Dirty Tesla. This must be one of the biggest whooshes in history.

I also think it's more of a sarcastic remark about size of the cargo bed, if you can even call it a cargo bed.
