First sighting in the wild of a CyberTruck doing actual work

I have never seen one doing work. Well lots billboard / advertising work “look at me, I love attention.”

Unless I cross paths with that same truck again, I expect it will be several years again until I see such a thing.

The frame snapped in half about 5 minutes after you saw it, so you won't be seeing it again.

Shame it doesn’t have a nice lined bed to just load up and needs a trailer, but kudos to the owner for doing something with their weird toy. I saw a bright orange one. So fugly.

I'd be very careful towing that much with an aluminum frame.  It'll be fine on smooth surfaces but going over a hard bump or emergency stopping could be a disaster for that weak frame

This was way more gravel than you would put in the bed of any pickup. Assuming it was gravel (I didn't get a very long look as we passed each other), it was a big enough load to squash an F-250 like a bug.

I'm sorry, roll coal? How does an EV roll coal? Roll coal means to leave a black cloud of toxic diesel fumes typically done by illegally modifications to a diesel exhaust system.

Yes, I know. Which is "an affront to other drivers." Perhaps being/causing an affront to other drivers is a traditional pickup truck activity (in the ways I listed, and some others I didn't think of), which a CyberSuck could join in by being hideously ugly, although not the tailpipe horrors. You could also put a huge flagpole in the bed, but I haven't seen that yet. Are you Lieutenant Savik?

Assholes that deliberately blow clouds of toxic fumes at pedestrians, joggers and bikers are more than an affront to other drivers.

I’ve seen a couple of meme “trucks” pulling travel trailers in the general area. I was on I-405 both times.

I live in Seattle and I've seen one downtown and one in West Seattle.

Follow it for 20-30 miles until he has to charge.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything did some tests with his cybertruck and when towing the range dropped to about 100 miles.  Charging isn't trivial when you're towing something either.  It's selling so poorly because it's a shitty truck and a shitty EV though it may be viable towing things short distances around town.

I do remember seeing that. And needing to disconnect your trailer so you can charge. A problem with how we place chargers relative to vehicles. A problem not unique to cyber trucks but one that really limits any electric truck people want to use for work.

The issue wouldn't be the amount it can tow so much as the amount of energy it blows towing it. I saw someone with a Model Y pull a trailer that was only ever able to go about 60-100 miles before needing to supercharge to full

It often ends badly when they do https://www.kktv.com/2025/06/30/tesla-cybertruck-hauling-woodchipper-causes-grass-fire-southwest-colorado/
