and you know that was its designed purpose how? obviously it was designed to be unique, but technically it goes WAY beyond looks. 48v system ENTIRELY. one turn lock to lock on steering with variable steer by wire+ rear steer making driving easier and especially backing up a trailer. stainless steel exterior for strength, cost savings (no paint), uniqueness.
Lots of vehicles now have a complete 48V system, Lexus debuted that steering system in the RZ, as for backing up a trailer, it can't pull one.
Cost savings for paint, as was said before most of them are being wrapped for $7k out of the owners pocket. No cost savings there,
note, that was steve who did that, not me, but yes, i dared to mention cybetruck vs. ice trucks at one point... won't trigger people again with that.

name one. could be wrong but i believe they have 48v systems in addition to 12v systems.
no, i did not compare the ct to the top of the line ram 1500 - that was you with that tacky interior picture and other comparison info. i did write: "what other trucks have 4 wheel steering, a motorized tonneau cover, air suspension all around, best in class audio system, and more?"
but comparisons with trucks are all over this thread and in that stupid tfl video referenced before the 1500 mention, the ct was compared to the raptor.
No, it was you lol

You posted the interior picture! Not me lol. Good lord. You asked "what other trucks offer all of this" and I told you.
And again, you think its tacky...it won a Ward's 10 best interior award 5 days ago...so lots of other people don't. You know what didn't win any interior design awards? The Cybertruck.

All kinds of videos of the Cyber Truck showing up on X.
Saw a man whacking a pick ax at the door of a CT.
Max cringe, lots of dings and looks expensive to fix.
Why would someone do that!![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)

no, i believe they have both 48v and 12v.
true, but in response to you writing that it had "an incredible interior". and i couldn't care less about ward's awards. people are still allowed to have opinions. i know you like to use crowd shaming, but won't work.
You posted the interior picture! Not me lol.

I know there was a bunch of hating on TFL earlier, but in the CT trailer towing video they posted over the weekend, they noted that they got a software update during the drive that improved the turning radius significantly. In testing it, they did a complete U-turn on the entrance road to the new Buc-ees in Johnstown, CO, without touching either curb.

After 85 miles towing the Tesla truck was down to 6% battery and the Ram DTE was 250 miles (3/4 mark of fuel). 3/4 ton diesel trucks towing range is impressive.

Electric vehicles are not ready for long distance towing, the problem is current battery packs are not energy dense enough yet for towing long distances. Fine for short distances or passenger vehicles. But just like nobody is buying the CT for off-roading, nobody is buying them for towing
