Tesla Cybertruck Seen in its Natural Habitat Hauling 1,800 lbs of Drywall – Someone Finally Using the All-Electric Truck For Something Other Than Carrying Groceries

The Cybertruck is one of the most capable trucks in the world both for off-roading and the job site. And now a new video shows the Cybertruck in its natural habitat being utilized to haul 1,800 lbs of drywall.

The Cybertruck is one of the most capable vehicles out on the road. The all-electric truck is not only a full-sized pickup truck in the strictest definition of that word, but the Cybertruck is also one of the most capable off-roading vehicles.

The Cybertruck features an industry-leading 17 inches of ground clearance, adaptive independent air suspension on all 4 wheels, a 6-inch long truck bed, an interior that can seat 5 adults, and tech and performance that rivals luxury vehicles and sports cars, respectively.

Additionally, the Cybertruck is made out of an ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel exoskeleton that is bulletproof but more practically dent and scratch-proof.

Given all these properties, the Cybertruck is the one vehicle to take anywhere be it on the track, to the job site, or an off-roading trail or simply drive around the city in comfort.

The Cybertruck can do it all however, so far, what we’ve seen is that not many people are utilizing the truck to its full potential.

Not only that, but for the sake of personalization, early Cybertruck buyers are choosing to wrap their trucks in flimsy, albeit beautiful, wraps that take away from the ruggedness of the truck's exposed stainless steel exterior.

Currently, it’s more common to see a Cybertruck at a grocery store or being driven by a celebrity to some high-end restaurant rather than on the job site or an off-road trail.

That’s at least until today, a new video of a customer-owned Cybertruck shows the truck finally being used as a truck.

The video was shot in front of a Home Depot and you can see a Cybertruck being loaded with 1800 lbs of drywall.

Tesla’s Chief Designer Franz von Holzausen in an interview with the BBC’s Top Gear had said that when deciding the Cybertruck’s final dimensions, one of the most important considerations was to make sure the truck could carry an 8 feet by 4 feet long drywall.

The Cybertruck bed is 6 feet long by 4 feet wide but, with the truck bed open, the Cybertruck as designed can fit 8 feet by 4 feet drywall and the new Cybertruck video shows that customers are using the truck as the designers intended.

Seeing the Cybertruck carrying 1,800 lbs of drywall is very nice, however, what’s even more impressive is that after being loaded, the Cybertruck is able to use its air suspension to level out the vehicle.

In the video, you can see the owner raising the vehicle with just a single tap on the touch screen. The adaptive air suspension in addition to aiding off-roadability, when carrying heavy loads, also allows the Cybertruck to maintain its smooth driving dynamics.

Currently, this is one of the first instances of the Cybertruck being used to complete real work. However, we’ll be sure to keep you posted as we see the Cybertruck on more job sites. Until then, make sure to visit our site torquenews.com/Tesla regularly for the latest updates.

So what do you think? Happy to see someone utilizing the Cybertruck to carry 1,800 lbs of drywall? Given its design, do you consider the Cybertruck a real truck? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Capable off road? Have you seen how many times the cyber truck was stuck or failed to climb tiny obstacles or gets stuck because of the poor ground clearance. The writer of the article should be fired for failure to perform due diligence...

Yes, when there is a massive difference between feet and inches, how can you take anything the article says seriously?

The whole thing just reads like a tesla fanboy wrote it with no real facts to back it up. Dent and scratch proof? No, resistant maybe, but it's not impossible to happen. And to say it's the most capable truck out there is ridiculous. Have you not seen all the videos of it struggling in the snow?

Typo. What I'd like to know is actual dimensions of the "bed". Someone should do video with a tape measure, illustrating the size of truck bed. Oddly, Tesla hasn't mentioned the actual dimensions? Why...

6-in truck that he must have been thinking about his weiner. The 6-ft truck it's not that big a full size truck bed is 8 ft or in most cases 7 ft 6. This is not a full size truck quit trying to make it sound like it's the ultimate truck that has nice qualities and features but it's not the hands down best truck out there

What's impressive is how much praise you heap on the the Cybertruck for accomplishing a couple mundane tasks that pickup trucks do every day. The truth is that we've seen zero evidence that it's a capable off-road vehicle and it's bed space is the smallest available. You keep pumping that stock tho. The Cybertruck will make this article look dumb as more people discover it's shortcomings.

Why does the article keep mentioning 1,800 lbs like that’s some amazing payload for a pickup? A $ 20,000 Ford Maverick has an advertised payload of around 1,500 lbs

“The most capable truck…”?

Seriously? You just lost all credibility as a writer, and cost #torquenews a reader.

Thanks for leading with that. I almost wasted time reading your article!

Stop saying the Cybertruck is one of the most capable trucks. It's not. It's got 25% less payload and towing capacity than an F-150. It's nothing special compared to any other half ton truck. The only thing it can do better is accelerate.

Will not own this piece of crap - I will stick with my f350 that I know will do what I want it to do
- has a snow plow and a hoist under the bed - great truck!

I spit my coffee out and peed my pants when I read 17 inches of ground clearance.
Oh the trouble you can get yourself into with that much ground clearance. I want two of these now just for the ground clearance....and 1800 pounds of drywall...
