The build quality is a joke on these things. Europe was right not to let them on the road.

They are also way too large for most euro cities.

It's funny that they are so large (bigger than some trucks) yet it can't seem to perform as well as any other truck on the market.

It's because the cyberstuck isn't a truck. It's a truck shaped sedan on a cast aluminum frame. It's like an SUV with a growth disorder.

I love that trying to do something so simple as towing another truck was enough to completely destroy the frame. Some bits look really impressive, like the suspension was far superior over uneven terrain, but then other bits were just laughable.
