I found an answer on “cybertruck owners club” website because I was curious. There are no tie down points for straps. You can get accessories for it. I don’t want to visit Tesla website so I didn’t see if it’s a stick or drilled, but based on what I know about the cyber truck I bet it’s glued
So… what would the straps even be tied too.
Also, as someone who’s never trucked before, how would you tie down that lumber on a truck with tie down points? Wouldn’t it slip out the back anyway unless you have a net or something to hold the end of the lumber?
Friction holds the load on, straps apply downward pressure to ensure the load stays in full contact to maximize friction. For demonstration, put you hands together loosely and slide them. Then apply pressure against you hands and try sliding. Same principle.
It also keeps the load from tipping out by countering the weight that overhangs the bed.
Even a single strap over a pile of lumber like that will create enough friction against the bed to keep it from sliding around. Not sure what would happen in a collision, but it works well for normal stop and go forces.

Most trucks have spots for straps

What it would do in case of an accident? May I refer you to the documentary, Final Destination 2?
