This looks a lot like the M577 Armored Personnel Carrier from Aliens.

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#932Unlike any other previous Tesla, or for that matter any other previous electric car, this is a reasonable value proposition. Everyone is so busy panning the looks they are overlooking the utility of this truck. Even the Model 3 is expensive compared to its peers at $35k. This this is priced competitive with non-electric trucks, heck, it's priced extremely well versus electric trucks. A 6 seat truck with a 6.5 foot tr…
BTW, you're ignoring potentially huge cost savings with gas. Trucks are notoriously gas guzzling, many people spending 2-500 a month in gas. Cost would drop dramatically if you could plugin every night and wake up with a full 'tank'.

> Unless you are regularly driving more than 250 miles per day, being able to charge at home is way better than filling up at gas stations. There's no way the Tesla truck gets 250 miles when loaded up with 3500 pounds or hauling a trailer. It's very unclear if the range is sufficient if you use this truck like an actual truck where you need those things. Similarly if you are using this as a work truck there's some po…
Gas truck ranges go down when hauling too.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#934I like the car but it seems really dangerous to pedestrians in a crash.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#935The cab/bed ratio is off IMO, should have a bigger bed to look more truck-like regardless of the future styling.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#936I 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.

Eh, doesn't have to be this way. What we need are smaller, lighter trucks; this message seems to have been missed by Ford who have released a new Ranger that's bigger than the F150 used to be.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#938I 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.
The divisiveness of this design is precisely what will propel its success. It's the coolest production car I've ever seen. And I expect >50% of the population to strongly disagree, mostly people from different generations. "Appalling" designs get free viral marketing; the trick is to still appeal to enough of your target market. This truck gets attention. It's a loud status statement that looks cheap to build, costs…

Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#939So many people tripping over themselves to criticize this. But hey, everyone is talking about it. $0 ad spend. It elicits strong reactions. People seem to love it or hate it. Far better than indifference. Not a truck owner, nor in the market, but I appreciate bold moves and deviation from the norm.
$0 seems a little off.
Re: Tesla Cybertruck
#940I understand what Tesla is doing here. Outer shell manufacturing cost is very low. No paint, minimal bending process. Just laser cut the material and it is ready to be mounted. If you want to manufacture something in a low resource environment ( like Mars ) it might be the clever move.
Are you implying that this truck will be manufactured on Mars at some point?
