We have no evidence the overloaded Cybertruck was driven on the highway. And for the purposes of this comparison, it doesn't matter if the contractor was irresponsible or not. In fact, the more irresponsible the contractor was, the more it speaks to the capabilities of the Cybertruck (being able to be loaded and driven like that without breaking).The other was driven likely on a highway around others at speed with no thought other than "this looks cool" so tell me, which exactly is the publicity stunt?
I can tell you've never worked as a contractor. The video shows a jobsite that would require a "pumper" truck to place the concrete. That's in addition to the concrete truck which holds 8-10 yards of concrete. This job required less than 1.5 yards of concrete. A concrete truck and a pumper truck would have cost around $2000, these guys did it for a fraction of that. It wasn't a publicity stunt, they understand the economics well, that's how they make their living.Getting "real work done" in this case is calling a concrete ready mix truck to place the concrete, rather than mixing a pallet of quickcrete a bag at a time. And in most cases cheaper.
You just don't want to acknowledge that Cybertruck, with its 2500 lb. payload capacity, will be a real workhorse for contractors around the continent. A publicity stunt is what Munro did with the R1T. I'm speaking the truth, you know it, you just don't want to admit it.
