Sure, when comparing it to ICE pickups it's definitely going to come up short, but I'm not comparing it to ICE pickups.
Since you bring up bed size, I got curious and it's still not bad compared to other EV pickups.
Cybertruck: 72"x48" (assuming their claim of a "6' by 4'" bed is actual numbers and not rounding them off) Lightning: 67.1" x 50.6" R1T: 54'' x 50"
As far as the video, it's hilarious that it performed so poorly. I'm waiting on a neutral reviewer to drive it versus basing my opinion on a viral video though. If it ends up being as bad as that video, then they would have successfully made the most useless truck for tasks involving anything more intensive than grabbing groceries.
