    I don’t think it’s bad that its smaller than a F150. People like to harp on it though as if it’s this massive monstrosity like OP without realizing it’s the size of the most popular truck. I see F150’s parked at Costco just fine all the time.

    Should all trucks be smaller? Sure, maybe, but I wouldn’t really hold the CT’s size against it. It’s also much shorter than other trucks at least at the front which is better for safety in general (even if you think the Cybertruck isn’t safe, being shorter is still safer). I’ve seen some trucks where their front flat grill is up to my neck. It’s kinda ridiculous.

      It looked bigger, and given everything else about it the turn radius probably sucks too, so might as well be huge. I’d give credit if it was due, and was actually excited when Tesla first announced they’d do a truck…thinking of all the possibilities that everyone else thought. What we got was not that.

        Re: One of the best turning radius due to 4 wheel steering

        Turning Circle from Motor Trend

        F150 Lightning 48.0 ft

        Rivian 44.9 ft

        CT 43.5 ft

        Edit (not from MotorTrend but GMs site): Silverado EV - 42.16 ft (also has 4 wheel steering)
