Quote from the website "You will be able to complete your configuration as production nears in late 2021. Tri Motor AWD production is expected to begin in late 2022." Ya right, production starts in 2 years. I would guess 4 yrs and I know nothing about car production. But I do know that just getting the subcontractors in order will take more than a year even if you have an assembly line in place already. Why is Tesla…

#433Does the US not have pedestrian safety standards? An all metal front grill must be horrible on any safety tests. I can only assume this is a joke and in a few hours Elon will do a "one more thing" before showing the real Tesla Pickup. This take on a pickup looks like some engineer accidentally left their Halo fan-art on the shared CAD file server.
For it to be sold in Europe doesn't it also have to comply with European laws? Would Tesla create a second version of the truck for Europe?
I don't think I've ever actually seen what Americans call a 'truck' on a street in Europe.
(Slight exaggeration, but not really.)

#434I 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.
To me it looks like the Tesla is for people who want that truck and the Rivian for people who need a truck.
And yeah imho the Cybertruck is very ugly. It looks like a copy of the Maserati Boomerang (1971) which was futuristic back then.
But maybe Shirley Bassey was right: it's all history repeating.

As a rider who hates breathing diesel particulates, I love it.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#436Also, the ugliest car ever. Worse than the latest Batman car.

#438Aesthetically speaking, it's a truck version of a DeLorean... which is growing on me the more I look at it. Also, I don't know how they think they're going to get away with that tailgate design in the US. I love it, but the government doesn't allow brakelights to be on a moveable piece of bodywork (even though they have redundant lights under it). It's the same reason the back of the Ferrari California was so ugly...…
Aren't physical side mirrors also still required in the US?
