I found an answer on “cybertruck owners club” website because I was curious. There are no tie down points for straps. You can get accessories for it. I don’t want to visit Tesla website so I didn’t see if it’s a stick or drilled, but based on what I know about the cyber truck I bet it’s glued
So… what would the straps even be tied too.
Also, as someone who’s never trucked before, how would you tie down that lumber on a truck with tie down points? Wouldn’t it slip out the back anyway unless you have a net or something to hold the end of the lumber?
Friction holds the load on, straps apply downward pressure to ensure the load stays in full contact to maximize friction. For demonstration, put you hands together loosely and slide them. Then apply pressure against you hands and try sliding. Same principle.
It also keeps the load from tipping out by countering the weight that overhangs the bed.
Most trucks have spots for straps
This article shows how to strap things into a truck properly https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/tips-hauling-materials-in-truck/
Even a single strap over a pile of lumber like that will create enough friction against the bed to keep it from sliding around. Not sure what would happen in a collision, but it works well for normal stop and go forces.
Don't worry, they aren't driving anywhere. Now they will refund it and get the poor workers to unload it now they got their sweet, sweet content.
That worker is going to feel so influenced
Sweet, free highway lumber
One of those pieces of shit rolled through Lowe's the other day, funny enough, this pic is at a Lowe's. I wouldn't go near the guy for fear of my mouth overloading me.
First off, I had no idea how ugly they are up close. Previously, I had kinda liked the look, especially the murdered out versions. Up close it looks like an off-brand Hot Wheels. It was surprisingly large, yet the insides were thin.
Dude had to make 3 trips to get all his stuff. We loaded less mulch in his bed than we often load in an SUV, maybe 20 bags?, and he had to leave the top off. I can get 20 bags in my 2002 Spyder (convertible Eclipse), and close the top. My 2004 F150 could literally haul a full pallet (75 bags), with the pallet.
A bit later a coworker mentioned someone coming back to complete a pick up.
"Who? The guy in the fucking fascist truck?"
"(Laughing) What? The guy in the Cybertruck?"
"Did I stutter?"
Also never noticed the thin front end before. FFS, if it bumps anything it's totaled. We could be in a 10mph front collision and I'd back up and drive off. He'd be waiting for a ride with the drive in his lap. And my bumper is nearly broken in half as-is.
Thanks I read this like the bloke off letterkenny with the square head and the lumberjack shirt c:

Thanks bud 🙏
Give your balls a tug!
"alright, got all the photos!"
"I'd like to be refunded for this wood..."
"Sorry, Mr. Krapalos"
"No refunds"
So many pictures of a non-existent tie down. This idiot's gonna drive around like this? A menace to society.
Is it me or is saying you’re going to do “big boy” stuff the most little boy thing to say?
You can bet whoever dropped $100k on this low-poly piece of crap is also the type of person who would shut down production for an hour by commanding all the sub-minimum wage peons (who actually do all the work around there) to load a bunch of lumber into this thing, snap a photo, and unload it. At no point in time was the cargo ever in danger of being transported somewhere.
Congrats! You just voided your warranty by placing something in the bed...
Well, this is better than the person who put six bags of top soil in the back….
Go on ...
And someone made a social media post about fitting the exact same amount of cargo into a Camry trunk
Big boy things like obliterating the suspension
Fit more shit in my goddamn subi any given weekend
I'm having trouble due to the image size - can someone identify for me what size lumber he's trying to haul? It looks like he's got 2x4's on the bottom and 4x4's on the top (odd, but whatever). If they're all 8' long boards, that's... sad. But they could easily be 12' or 16'. If they're 16', hey that's kinda cool - I will admit my truck would struggle.
I think youre mostly right. The top photo looks like there is some 1x4 or some deck boards on the bottom too. Im with yoj tho, no idea how long those boards are. Id hope 16' and it doesnt look like theyre strapped down at all, and not tipping. So presumably at least as much in the truck as hanging out?
what'd be more impressive was renting a damn trailer to haul it properly lmao
I think they're surprised the thing can what it supposed to.
now go forward. (malicious grin)
