He forgot to hit the side and say "That oughta hold 'er".
Or at least a "that's not going anywhere"
Rituals are rituals for a reason. Sometimes they work.
Or, I don’t know, rolling up that cover and lifting the tailgate so that the boards sit at an angle and don’t slide out so easily?
Judging by the bending of some of the material in the 2nd pic, I’m guessing this person thought it would be bad for the material to be bent under their stacked weight if the tailgate was up so decided to lay them flat, completely ignoring the need to further secure the load because they were heavy.
The insecure d-bags buying these "trucks" are the same people who were hardcore anti-EV not that long ago, right?
Wasn't that group calling Obama all kinds of evil things simply because of the mandate to end combustion engines by like 2035?
Without data, it's impossible to tell. I am sorry to say it but it's very dangerous to get rallied up without evidence.
If you have a bedliner, you have to pull that load in tension across the back and tighten it with motorcycle straps or the like. If not, it will slip right on out the back, friction free. Kind of one of the points of having a bedliner. A poseur truck owner wouldn't know this, the same as they wouldn't know how or why to tie a trucker's hitch. You don't have to be completely inexperienced to screw this up but it helps.

“Outside their domain of experience”
Maybe more like nobody is around them to tell them that a) it’s not going to work, b) it’s a bad idea, c) nobody to dump the idea on to do the actual work of solving the problem that the originator can then take credit for or blame when it doesn’t work.
the head scratch!
I can just picture this in a turn on the road wiping out a half dozen kids on e-bikes and killing someone easily.
Hmm, so it's a conflict between having a sigma right-wing male ideal and not living up to it?
"brittle from the rejection of their own softness"
If they'd bought a beater car and asked their dad to help troubleshoot it, they'd actually learn something about the field they're insecure about.
Chances are they're from families with a similar upbringing. You're assuming a lot that they can just ask their dad

I refuse to believe that real people paid for this. These guys must just be actors acting out midlife crises to convince us that the cyberttruck is real.
I dunno, I'm into tech and I wouldn't touch something that poorly designed.
