We go camping as a family (Me, my wife, 2 kids, 2 large dogs). I can't leave the dogs home with nobody to watch them, and I wouldn't want them to miss out since they love getting out into nature. This is not an everyday use case, it's several times a year for trips that are generally 5 hours or less each way. If Telsa made a large SUV version of the Cybertruck then I'd just get that, but they don't. So my options are either to find a way to transport the dogs in the Cybertruck, or get a Rivian R1S and have them ride in the back of that, or keep driving my gas-guzzling Yukon, or drive two cars on every camping trip (wife and kids in the Model X, me and the dogs in the cab of the Cybertruck)I don't know. I have always had an emotional attachment to my dogs. (my kids? , meh) If I can justify cleaning the interior because the kids or a guest dropped or spilled something (or I did), then I can justify vacuuming out pet hair. They make covers for the back seats if you don't want the hair on the seats. Ain't no freaking way I'm putting my dog in any tunnel or vault. And if the cab is full, the dog ain't going. And if we already have the dog with us, then there will be fewer peeps in the car/truck. People that ride in the bed do so knowingly. You can explain risks to them. I try and explain risk to my dog, and they just look at me and wait for the door to open so we can go. I will not ever wake up and feel guilty that my dog isn't here or suffered pain because I didn't afford them the same level of safety I give to people. Period, full stop.
