It’s kind of cool and I like that it looks very different. But do we really need more super heavy, huge and expensive vehicles on the road? It would be much better if they put their efforts into something small, efficient and affordable and made that cool.

#182You 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…
Wholeheartedly agree. Musk doesn't seem to give a shit about presentations. I won't be surprised if he doesn't even throw a fit at the window breakage fiasco. In Jobs world, that team would have been fired by now.
Musk is a tinkerer and it shows in all the aspects that you have outlined.
Regarding the interior - some 3-4 guys stepped out of the truck implying it must be quite spacious. An ATV could fit in the bed. So this truck is most likely going to sell. Pricing is spot on.

I had never watched him give a presentation before. I started at, "This is terrible, this guy is crazy" By about halfway through though it turned into, "This guy is crazy, and I really hope he succeeds"
Agreed. I continue to want Tesla to wildly succeed. I don’t know anything about actual pickup trucks or why people buy them. Which is why I mainly commented on the presentation style.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#184Reminds me of an old game I used to play where you drove around a blocky vehicle with a similar shape. Now I can't stop trying to think of the name of it. EDIT: Was the link changed right after posting? Everyone's talking about a failed glass demo with Elon and all I'm seeing is photos of an odd looking truck.
Kinda reminds me of the ships in the Descent series.

#185As 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.
So you're going to downgrade from a 3/4 ton frame to something that falls between a dodge dakota and ram 1500... In other words you overbought and don't use the diesel or the 3/4 ton frame? Because this is definitely NOT a replacement for that.
>In other words you overbought and don't use the diesel or the 3/4 ton frame?
I think you just described 80% of truck owners.

My question: Can it fit a sheet of plywood in the bed.
It's not a work truck.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#187Regardless of its power, that is the ugliest car design I’ve ever seen. Seeing it in the stage in video after the renders on the website made it even worse. Nerds may think it’s cool, but I doubt you’ll catch many people riding around in it.

6 people stepped out
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#189The tall, angled side fins above the bed are a dealbreaker for me. Makes it too hard to reach in, also more awkward to climb into from the side by standing on a tire. It sucks that you wouldn't be able to rest anything horizontally on them without having it slide off. I'm curious as to how well it'll hold a rack: https://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/Truck-Racks-Van-Racks/.... I wonder if this will be another form > function, like with the Tesla Model X whose gull wing doors make it impossible to hold a roof rack.

Can someone that has actually worked closely with Musk confirm: is his thought process and speech as utterly disjointed as happens in most of his presentations?
Or, is this a nutty professor kinda of shtick that Elon thinks makes him seem more personable?
His presentations are painful to watch.
