Let's hope these trucks are more reliable than the Teslas that are in use as electric taxis at Amsterdam Airport:

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#373You 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…
> But for an Elon presentation, this is pretty normal (high awkwardness).
Give me the high-functioning aspie CEO who puts all their energy into realizing a brilliant vision, and has none left over to game their audience with 'charisma' (e.g., Adam Neumann). Not sure that Steve Jobs was much of a normie either - though possibly his meditation practice had some effect to his conduct.

#374What pisses me of inexplicably is Tesla / elon cuck intentionally showing failures is this some bizzare form of marketing? I believe it certainly is. They should know the strength of their windows and acting like it was a surprise is retarded

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#376Great truck. Very exotic design, excellent price point, However, there was one statement that stood out as a MASSIVE mistake: >The glass is stronger than standard car glass Please stop doing this. Audi and Mercedes pulled this gimmicky crap about 8 years ago until they realized samaritans, Firefighters and EMT's need to be able to breech safety-glass windows in the event you become entrapped in the vehicle (possibly…
The extra strong steel panels also raise questions about accidents and crumple zones. Modern vehicles are designed to absorb as much force as possible instead of deflecting the impact.

#377I feel like I am taking crazy pills with the amount of good sentiment to this design. This thing is absolutely fugly. The guys over at Rivian must be having a party right now.
It's big, bad and punk hitting the current trends. In a decade we're going to look back on this and wonder what we were thinking.
I'm wondering what they're thinking...right now.

As someone with a strong preference for a classical aesthetic I'm finding it hard to reason just how drawn to this vehicle I am. It's just so outrageously different, offers the functionality of both a truck and the tech and performance of a Tesla, and isn't comparable with other 'trucks' which I'd argue are homogeneous in nature, cliche, particularly un-aesthetically pleasing and are synonymous with gas-guzzling Nort…
I'm tired of curvy trucks anyways. Maybe it's a good time to go back to something more straight. I also like that the exterior can take such a beating. It doesn't make sense that a tough pick-up can get so easily dinged and scratched. I would MUCH rather have that durable shell.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#379The 80's called, they want their truck back.
Jokes apart, what is the target demographic and what about the unusual aesthetic?
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#380This design is just strange. When the Model S was introduced, Tesla specifically stated that it was designed to look like high-end luxury/sports cars instead of following the funky/future design that hybrids always had until.
Interesting that they reversed it with this truck, and I wonder how it'll affect the market of potential truck buyers.
