Who would have thought that the comically ugly renders of a few weeks ago would turn out to be spot on? This was jaw dropping.
Would like to see a render that looks like this did.

#172Elon walked off stage to kill the guy who designed the glass.
ye, Elon was sweating like crazy right after the blunder. I also thought the presentation could have been rehearsed a little bit better as the slides seem to be off most of the time (I assume Elon is just way too busy to rehearse these things).
I'm pretty sure Elon doesn't rehearse these presentations at all. He's had trivially-correctable wrong info on slides before, and had to explain it away during the presentation.

#173You couldn't invent a more polar opposite of Steve Jobs than Elon Musk. VERY disorganized presenting. Badly rehearsed. Awkward speech. Speech is almost never in sync with slides. Demos failed spectacularly. The rest of the event was him with a backdrop of two broken windows. They didn't show the interior, and barely talked about the bed. Is this even good as a pickup truck? Is there enough storage? This all seemed ha…
And yet I think he’s the closest analogue to Steve Jobs. :)
A passionate person in charge, who tries to make the things he wants to use.
I wonder if the awkward persona isn’t intentional, i.e. to project a certain image, perhaps to appear less intimidating and more approachable, the guy you could nerd out about stuff with.

#174This is nearly April fools joke level. Ignoring the individual aesthetic, it just stands in such stark contrast to the rest of the curved, sleek vehicles in their fleet. Surprising.
I'd buy it. In Rocket League.

#175I can't be the only one who sees the design similarities to the Delorean, right? And to top it off it's stainless steel...
A Delorean Hummer love child.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#176Yeah, a lot of people talking about how ugly it is. But that's exactly what a pick-up has always been. A big ugly thing with a bed in the back and a lot of utility most people didn't even use. Some models over the years have looked decent. Many have (Ford especially) have been dog ugly. I could see this thing taking off, though not sure how rural truck owners would take to electric. Edit: On second thought, rural tru…
Rural owners? You mean people with a ton of cheap land to put a solar farm onto?
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#177I can't see why I'd buy an ugly truck like this instead of an F150. Talk about ugly and expensive
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#178As a truck guy who has owned a lot of trucks and currently owns a 2017 Ram 2500 CTD 4x4 and a Land Rover Defender 110, I'm telling you right now: this is going to kill it. This is the suburban status item of 2022. I want to buy this right now. This has nearly the towing capacity of my Ram and will smoke my wife's Audi on the track.
As someone looking at a Tacoma TRD Pro or Ram Power Wagon this thing just shattered my midsize vs 2500 internal debate.

#179Finally. A 1980's videogame car. The future really is now.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#180I can't believe how cheap this is. They could charge 10k more for each, at least for 1-2 years. What am I missing?
