I’m still somewhat on the fence. But it’s looking pretty good: https://www.theautopian.com/i-saw-a-production-spec-tesla-cy...

I'm rooting for it despite it being silly and not a practical pickup, strictly because every car people are buying looks identical (picture a crossover SUV from Toyota, Chevy, BMW etc. Basically shoe-shaped things).

This looks like a concept car that would never come to market. I hope it sells really well and convinces others to bring actually-creative designs to market.

I'm amazed that they actually made it happen!

Hopefully this gets us more cool car designs.

It will have a cult following at the very least I think, and maybe that will inspire some auto companies.

Tesla literally didn't realize the steel comes in coils and it naturally wants to warp back into that state. Massive panel gap problems. As usual. The only thing other car makers are learning is what a joke their design operation is.

I appreciate your thinking, unfortunately if it sells well I feel the industry will just do the same thing. Instead of shoe shaped things, we will just have cyber truck knock offs. Which ugh I can’t say I would prefer over what we have now.

My biggest gripe is the wheel covers. They make this look like a ridiculous Robocop movie prop.

I've been seeing a bunch of them in Bay Area, I thought it was already launched and started deliveries. In person, it looks like something out of a movie set.
