The Cybertruck also does the tightest turns because it has front and back wheel steering. I could imagine that to be useful on job sites.

The kinds of people buying cybertrucks aren't going to be caught dead on a job site.

In my opinion it isn't useful at all because if the only thing you can get into a spot is a vehicle with 4-wheel steering, you have already fucked up your site planning. You aren't going to be delivering materials with that thing, bulk materials are too heavy and light materials are too large. Maybe tools, but it isn't that large to be a tool truck and too expensive for small handyman type work.

No it doesn't. A regular Suburban without 4 wheel steering still has a tighter turning radius. A fucking Suburban!

A full-size Ford Transit - which is much larger than a Cybertruck, and much more useful - turns in about an 11-metre kerb-to-kerb circle.

That's fully a metre and a half tighter than the Cybertruck.

Not really, sites are pretty much always spaced out. Ironically, it’s best for city and daily driving - it’s a pure luxury feature.
