New videos have surfaced online, courtesy of the Cybertruck Owners Club<\/em> forum, showing Tesla\u2019s upcoming all-electric pickup carrying no fewer than four bicycles in its bed. But what does this mean in terms of bed size? Well, let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n Right off the bat, I have to say that the four bikes weren\u2019t fully loaded in the Cybertruck\u2019s bed, but rather hanging on an aftermarket bike pad from Dakine that was blocking the pickup\u2019s third brake light, which isn\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n Rivian did a much better job with its proprietary tailgate pad that has a semitransparent mesh. This way, the full-width red light strip isn\u2019t obscured and can be seen by cars driving behind.<\/p>\n But what about storage in the bed? The alleged specifications that were recently leaked didn\u2019t include the bed\u2019s dimensions, but we know from one of Elon Musk\u2019s previous statements that the Cybertruck should have a bed length of over six feet.<\/p>\n By comparison, the Rivian R1T\u2019s bed is 4.5 ft long. However, after seeing the Cybertruck and the R1T carrying bikes side by side, it looks like they\u2019re pretty similar in size.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tesla Cybertruck carrying a bike (Source: Reddit)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rivian R1T With Tailgate Pad And A Bike<\/p>\n Mind you, the two trucks most likely have different types of bikes in the back, but to the naked eye, it doesn\u2019t look like the Cybertruck\u2019s bed is one and a half feet longer than the R1T. At least we know that it can carry four bikes, which is more than enough for an adventurous afternoon out on the trails.<\/p>\n In fact, some commenters have argued that a fifth bike might fit in there as well, maxing out the Cybertruck\u2019s carrying space, both in the bed and in the cabin. It\u2019s also worth noting that Tesla\u2019s pickup has some storage under the bed and some electrical outlets back there, making it a decent choice for people who use their trucks to do work. It doesn\u2019t come close to the Ford F-150 Lightning\u2019s eight outlets that come as standard, but it\u2019s something.<\/p>\n We should know more about the edgy electric pickup after the much-anticipated delivery event on Nov. 30 happens, including the official dimensions and specs.<\/p>\n But until that happens, let us know in the comments what you think: will the Cybertruck be a good work\/fun truck?<\/p>\n
