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.

One of the most capable trucks in the world? It's not even the most capable truck in a city carpark. You could rip the hatch off a ford focus and it's a more capable truck than the CT.

Many trucks are capable of doing impressive truck-like things, and I’m sure the Cybertruck will check its share of boxes too. But I bet a majority of Cybertruck buyers, like sooo many other truck buyers/owners, will never haul anything in the bed other than maybe a Christmas tree once a year. The closet thing they will get to off-roading will be clearing the speed bumps in the mall parking lot. And towing will never even be a thought. …. So who really cares what this or most any other truck is “capable” of doing if it likely won’t get utilized?

But hey, at least the drivers “look cool” driving them right? Well in the case of the Cybertruck, that’s highly debatable. People either love the look or hate it. …. I can’t help but notice that the Tesla Model S cars have looked basically the same since they started rolling off the assembly line in 2012, and same with the Model X since 2015. So love it or hate it, the stylings of the Cybertruck are probably going to stay the same for a long time.
