They get along just fine. The problem is when you have two or more people that believe in this or that and try to force their views/beliefs on the other. 😂

As a business owner who has numerous trucks, you really can't compare a 250/350 (or 2500/3500 from GM and RAM) with the cybertruck. They are built to carry/tow/push with a plow so much more. It really is just comparable to the 150/1500 and nothing more. And that's fine. Those are the trucks most people buy for personal use, or anything that is considered light work in my business. But there is a reason why those engines 250 and above use so much fuel.

Has a payload of 2,500 lbs and can tow up to 11,000 lbs. Those are respectable numbers. I agree not in 3/4 ton range.

Thumbs up for Gary. A good dude.

Gas on a 250 is about $1,000/mo when I owned two of them. My Tesla Model 3 cost $17 last month in electricity cost with 100% home charging.

I think he’s a newer KZreadr, so he hasn’t worked out all the kinks yet.

You can't underestimate the massive fuel $$$ savings, some of us are going to realize. I just drove my diesel GMC 3500 Series Dually 4X4, towing a trailer, from Clovis, CA to Port Townsend, WA. 983 miles in total, and I got 11 mpg while towing an empty 2 horse trailer. The Dually has a 30 gallon diesel capacity, and I had to refill the tank 4 times at a cost of $595..!!! I could fly up there cheaper than that! In daily use, we use it for our construction business, hauling plywood, drywall, bags of cement, 3,000 lbs of aggregate, etc., and our maintenance costs beyond fuel, are astonishingly high. We hope to get our CyberTruck in the first half of this year, and we think we'll save around $500-$600 per month, vs. the Dually. Because the Dually is so tall, and the rear arches are so wide, it's impossible to load from the sides, so we are used to loading everything from the rear, or from the top, so the CyberTruck shouldn't be a learning curve due to the sloping sides, since the Dually is probably even worse in that regard.

@@Wibb14 As usual, the supposed analysts and "experts" are wrong. We work with a ton of subcontractors; plumbers, electricians, concrete guys, carpenters, and they are all driving big 4WD trucks. I know how much their car payments are, and I know how much they spend on gas/diesel, because we sometimes have to pay their expenses, depending on how the job contracts are written, and let me tell you, some of these guys are driving 200-400 miles a DAY, just to get to work, and to their job sites. The savings they will realize, over a 5 year period is mind-blowing. I think some of them will save from $30k to $60k over a 5 year period. That's almost enough to pay for the Cybertruck 4WD version. If I'm a plumbing, or electrical contractor, and I have 5, 10, 20 vehicles in my fleet, that's a TON of $$$$$ to be saved.

@@swingister I think if I had to drive from CA to WA again, but in the Cybertruck, I'd probably have to make at least two more stops than I did in the Dually, but to be honest, I could only drive for a max of 4-5 hours continuously in the Dually anyway, before needing a pee break, or to stretch my legs and get some fresh air. I was averaging around 50 mph over the whole distance in the Dually, so that's around 200-250 miles between breaks, so I think the Cybertruck would do just fine, unless I had to really push hard and go a specific distance in a specific time. I haven't seen any official figures for the Cybertruck range while towing, but if the 4WD version is supposedly getting 340 miles of range, then I'd expect 200-250 miles while towing the horse trailer I towed. If I HAD to tow long distances, I'd spring for the range extender option, and that would probably do the trick.

​@@The80shillingI agree, I think a lot of work truck users stand to save a ton of money on fuel and maintenance expenses by going to an EV truck. It will depend on the situation, but I think it's really the most common situations that stand to benefit from going EV. And as the charging networks get built out, the benefits and the range of good use cases will only increase.

What a lovely, gentle, thoughtful fella.

that F250 owner seems like such a nice guy

Thank you GARY, and you also Dennis!

Thank you for this. So much different from the screaming headlines!

dude if you ever drive close to southwest Virginia I would love to take a look at your CT.. Thank you for all of your CT content.

THIS is great Dennis!!

Its quite refreshing to see someone openminded about these trucks.. hopefully that continues to be the case

I like this interactions with people just to fellas talking, a normal everyday chat.

I'll take the f250 for towing. What is the range of the Tesla when towing? And how long does it take to refuel the f250, compared to recharging the cyber truck? What happens if the battery runs out on the freeway? A fuel can from AAA or gas station will get you going with the f250.

Great video! Love to see more, and the only issue is the bgm is too loud sometimes and I can't hear the man, your voice is fine though.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you blurred after opening the bed? Looks like some sort of screen, but not the one from the interior.. I'm really enjoying the videos!! 👍 Cheers

Wonderful to see positive and open minded people still exist in the world.

wow. gary. nice moves. keep it up. proud of you.

The Cyber Truck is more of a recreational type truck. From what I heard it is very impressive. As a daily transportation vehicle it is terrific and a nice ride.

You are both awesome ❤ this is what the car community is supposed to be!

Good vid and glad you got the truck but DAMN. If you are gonna do a size comparison with an f250 why not raise the Cybertruck instead of leaving it in one of its lower settings???

I wish all people in this age range were as open minded at this nice gentleman.

I would have shown Gary the power outlets in the bed, especially the NEMA 14-50. If he uses any work tools he'd appreciate that. Also a look at the ride height adjustment and towing menu would likely impress him too.

Should have let him try driving it! Get his reactions! But this was great. (Music too loud!)

As another old guy who drives a Ford 250 that Tesla would definitely take some getting used to. Could not use it to travel long distances towing. “Getting low on electrons, I need to fill up” First find a large place to safely park and disconnect trailer. Leave trailer unattended then drive to a charger for however long that takes. Drive back to trailer hoping know one has parked blocking your ability to reconnect to your trailer and safely exit. In the winter months repeat frequently due to decreased battery range and very carefully plan your driving routs and stops. Driving it like a car would not be bad

Awesome vid!! But would be great if the music was off while you guys are talking, just a little tip!

Great Video. What is the cost to fully charge the Cybertruck if you have to pay a charge station and the electrical cost at an upgraded home station. Cheers from Texas!

Sweet content.

I never thought I'd see one look small. It's not a big bed though compared to the F250 but the look of it.

Australian here. Where are the outside registration numbers on the CT? Australia has automatic vehicle license plate technology everywhere, for both front and rear licence plate numbers. The Four has these plates. But the CT?

What a great guy.

The old man was looking for the driver infotainment display😂.

Did anyone tell him that if he decided to tow a real load, he can go a whole 5 miles before needing a recharge?

Saw 2 Cybertrucks on our drive to Texas this week. One was painted 2 tone in unfortunate colors. The other was stainless and driven by a Tesla employee who was testing the truck.

THANK YOU FOR FINDING AN F250, MISSING MY F350 CREW, 4X4.. DAILY DRIVER 2003 Y HUMMER DUEL LOCKERS, 300 HP.

Pausing at 5:56 and scratching my head why anyone thinks the CT is somehow worse for pedestrian safety. The F-250 is obviously the more dangerous vehicle, it doesn't even have a massive brushguard and winch. Maybe all these people that are suddenly concerned about pedestrians should start with making brushguards and winches illegal.

Two things nobody mentions: did they retain the integral loading ramp underneath the bed? And what is the bed height at kneeling or lowest setting? In other words, if you use this as a truck, how high do you have to lift cargo into the bed? Nobody seems to know or care- it's not even on Tesla's site.

Cyber truck tow rating is 11klbs. The F250 is 22klbs. You can drive 500 miles on one tank. If you get a long bed, it’s a 48gal tank so 650 miles. When you need to refuel, it takes a few minutes with the F250. In short, you could not tow across country with the Cyber truck due to its limited range and you could not tow anything over 11k pounds. That’s why you don’t see F250 owners driving a Cyber truck.

You can't know how poorly that bed with the slanted sides is until you try to haul a few loads. Anything that leans against the slanted side will work its way to the rear of the bed due to the forces from the side.

Cyber Truck is like having an alien visit earth. Everyone is curiou and intrigued

WHAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

Can’t wait for my reservation to come up so I can put it up against my F250.

Cool guy, I doubt he would want the truck if he does any long towing. But fun to see his reactions.

I use my right hand for holding my coffee or snack and can easily turn the signal lever with my left hand.
