MODERATORS
I think you might be mixing up units for the turning radius between the f150/rivian and the CT
MotorTrend has the turning circle listed as
F150 Lightning 48.0 ft
Rivian 44.9 ft
CT 43.5 ft
Meanwhile the GM site says the Silverado EV is 42.16ft
So your 2 numbers for F150/Rivian aren't the same measurement as the CT 43.5
Edit: Also the size comparison wasn't about being an advatange or not, it was the person mocking the CT size when it was smaller than the countries best selling vehicle and favorite truck.
Edit: And worth noting that the CT, Silverado and Hummer all have the better turning circles because of their 4 wheel steering. The hummer is 25 inches shorter, leading to its best score. The silverado is a couple inches longer, and has a tighter circle which is a nice job.
You can look up every review on youtube for the cybertruck and it has the absolute worst turning radius of the lot, and they show it actually failing. I stand by the numbers i found.
This is a great comment to post on confidently incorrect.
In case you need help... it's all the way at the bottom. You fucked your units up.
