For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I load it into the bed of the truck, I don’t own a trailer. I’ve moved tvs, a piano, mattresses. These things don’t always fit in a covered location with a finite amount of space. Do you genuinely hate all pickup trucks?
I can’t move a piano with a sedan. I could maybe hitch a trailer and move mulch or do that thing where you pop the trunk and lash it down
Yeah I honestly hate all pickup trucks. I don't hate you, though. From what I know, in your country most sensible cars have a very low towing capacity on paper. And although they could tow a trailer with a piano in other countries, they're not allowed to in the US. So even for towing trailers, most people use pickup trucks, if I'm not mistaken.
In my country, I would tow a piano with a sedan, station wagon or a compact car. If I owned none of that but like a Ford fiesta or something small like that, I would hire a moving company for that one trip. It's still cheaper than maintaining a truck 365 days a year.
Fair enough. I can’t vouch for the legality, but you are not mistaken. I would rent a uhaul if I found it necessary to move a piano, but I’ve used the bed of my pickup an awful lot. Most recently to bring in the Christmas tree. But I do a LOT of work around my house so I know I’m in the minority here. But being from rural-ish America I find that there are people who have a stock pickup that they use frequently as a pickup.
