One part Nova Sterling [1], 9 parts hideous. They should have used a CAD system that supported more than straight lines.

#882It's a pick-up truck, so... why isn't there a single clear shot of the cargo bed?
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#883At first I was dumbfounded. Like, they cannot be serious. Then after a little while of looking at it, I thought, well, perhaps it is just crazy enough to work. Definitely thinking outside the box. Then a bit later in the evening, I was struck by how in the space of a couple hours it had aged in my eyes, and it wasn't aging well. As soon as the 'interesting' wore off, all I can see is how boring the design really is.…
I had a similar then different reaction . First I didn’t think it was real. Then I thought it was hideous. Now after looking at and reading about it more I’m starting to like it. I’m hoping Tesla starts using more of the same design cues in their other products.

#884Does 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.
>Does the US not have pedestrian safety standards? I don't know what it is like outside of the United States but here everyone has the common sense to know "don't walk in front of moving vehicles" as you are taught as a child "look both ways before crossing" over and over and over. You can put all of safety features you want on a vehicle, but if they hit a pedestrian there is a VERY good chance they will die. That's…
Did both of your friends not have common sense or what? Didn't they know not to walk in front of moving vehicles? They'd be alive now if the had known that, duh.
And plus your argument falls flat if you consider that even 1% better chance of survival means a lot of lives saved. Are you saying looks outweight safety for pedestrians?

#885The design reminds in style old project Boomerang by Ital Design from 1972

Reminds me of the Christian Bale batmobile.
Paint it black and I’m in.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#887Most people who have trucks rarely use them for things a car or suv couldn't do. I think the range limitations when towing and other limitations probably won't hurt sales because people who have to do serious long distance towing wouldnt consider a tesla anyway. The cybertruck will be used as a big car by most people most of the time. As long as it is able to maintain the aspirational marketing properties of other trucks it should do well in the US. Plus it has the chicken tax on its side.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#888Ya'll joke, but I don't suspect they are going to make/sell a lot of these and if Tesla goes under in the near future these things will skyrocket in value.
If you really want to bet against Tesla, buy one of these and wait for Tesla to fold. No one will ever make anything like this again.
I could even imagine them only making a few hundred of these and them all being worth a million dollars after the company collapses.

#889Elon: "... and its bulletproof!"
Hardware Eng #1 turns to Hardware Eng #2: "Wait... where does it say that in the spec we received..."
