It’s the frikkin Batmobile! I want one. I will never actually buy one because a) $$$ and b) I live in a city with small roads. But it looks awesome. No

#503I 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.
Rivian and Bollinger both.

#504I genuinely had to double check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st. I love the fact that Tesla are moving away from the boring, middle of the road designs of their previous models. But this.... this is just hideous. It doesn’t look tough or futuristic; it looks like something a 10 year old designed, and no, that’s not a good thing.
This is the first time I have seen a production vehicle's design to be less realistic (in terms of usability, component reuse, artistic freedom, etc) than it's artistic renders. Here's a few artist imagined renders, and to be honest, they would be a lot less likely to get an April 1st calendar check reaction: - https://inteng-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/img/iea/JYG0mpkD61/s... - https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uplo…
These look so so boring
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#505Great 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…
You can never tick enough masculine boxes.

#506I'm sorry, but this looks terrible... I can't imagine seeing the average person driving this at all.

#507Does 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.
Don't be ridiculous. The US has no pedestrian safety standards whatsoever. In a sane world, the NHTSA would have outlawed bull bars and required trucks to have sideguards.
So, is this basically illegal in other countries? Does that mean we should expect the Cybertruck to be US-only?
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#508Stupid question: what’s up with trucks in urban areas? I understand the utility of a truck in rural/farm setting but never figured why folks want to lug around that pointless empty half while living in cities. Two of the folks I know who owns trucks have used empty halfs probably twice in a year when bringing home some furniture but that too could have delivered free by the store. Again, as I said, stupid question.
As someone who has a truck in an urban area I have one just for the reason you listed. I dont use the bed often but when I need it I do not have to make special arrangements. While it is true that sometimes its possible to get free delivery for some larger items thats no guarantee and you have are dependent on their schedule versus being able to do it on yours. If you're going to have a vehicle the flexibility of a t…
Why not use a normal car and a trailer?

I had never thought I'd want a truck. This though is totally retro and I absolutely love it. Looks like Elon Musk is finally making stuff that's something Tony Stark would've created (aesthetically). Seems very Iron Man to me.
Having grown up in the 90s with a dream of becoming an automotive designer one of my favorite designs was that of the Lamborghini Countach (1974). The Cybertruck design is reminiscent of that design (to me), and I think that's one of the reasons it's drawing me in so strongly.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#510This looks like something out of Total Recall, which maybe makes sense since Musk is obsessed with Mars.
