      Yes, its weight is absolutely ridiculous. The other hobbyist’s tanks you mentioned are too. Just because there is more of the same (minus razor sharp edges and rust), doesn’t mean it isn’t sh*t too.

        it’s weight is ridiculous, generally speaking.

        it’s weight simultaneously ISN’T ridiculous for what it is. Context. For what it is, it is the least ridiculous of all those ridiculously heavy trucks.

          Can you believe those Tesla Model 3 LR. They weigh 4,034 lbs, and it’s a SEDAN! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! The comparable ICE Mercedes-Benz A-Class only weighs 3395 lbs, what was Tesla thinking!

            what’s crazy is how bad those other trucks are - their batteries are huge, for barely any more range than the cybertruck. I think one of them is double the kw/km or whatever that the CT uses. I mean, the CT is hot garbage, but it’s amazing that it’s the least hot garbage of its class. (on paper.)

              It’s the Hummer. 205kwh (311miles) vs 123kwh (320 miles CyberBeast/340 AWD).

              At least the Silverado while heavier, gets more range which if you really need the range for towing, is beneficial.
