Interesting, the no rear-view mirror design is already approved by regulations and being deployed. Roadster shouldn't be far now +.+
No side-view mirrors, you mean? Or is this lacking a rear-view mirror?

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#212This 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.
Well, trucks aren't usually meant to look curved nor sleek. Those who drive trucks probably wouldn't want one that looked that way.

#213I like to imagine the name is a homage to Cyberduck.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#214Yeah, 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?
My bit about rural truck owners was more about demographic than power source. I have lived much of my life in rural areas of Idaho and Montana. The looks of this thing is NO problem. People will love it. But as a big life change, going electric is a big leap when throwing down that 50K for the family truck. I guess we'll see.

#216flat surfaces, no curved panels.. i wonder how much of that design decision is to reduce production costs?
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#217I kind of love it. Seems to hit the mark on price, range, capability, size.
Would personally only want a van version, or possibly just the ability to take out the second seats and barrier. Would be great then for urban travel and camping.
Also would love to learn more about the engineering trade-offs in their exoskeleton structure over traditional frame on body designs.

#218You 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…
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.
That either-or choice isn't fair. I'd guess it's a third - his mind races ahead (or off to the side, or the clouds) when he's doing presentations.
Many people have poor presenting skills. Just few of them get to be CEO and still insist on being the public face of the company

#219The tri motor version will go from 0-60mph in under three seconds. That's insane!
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#220Are the people commenting that this truck is a good product just delusional or trolling?
Are you delusional or just trolling?
Shocking that people can like different things, I know.
