#22I'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.
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.

Steel comes in many shapes. Are you saying they used hot versus cold-rolled steel?

I just wish it weren't so hideous-looking. The car industry already went through a "make everything ugly" phase a couple of decades ago. It'd be nice if they didn't repeat that!

No more or less than any other vehicle of similar weight.

Yes. But it seems actually less dangerous then other pickups.
Other pickups seem to think that having as high as possible as big as possible vehicle front is a great thing.
Going OVER the car is what saves live. If you get hit by a F-150 it more like getting hit by a wall.
The Cybertruck also seems to have better visibility.
So this seems to me to be a case of 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king'.
In general US obsessions with pickups is stupid and I hope in my country all of them are commercial license only, not allowed on common parking spaces, ban in certain section of cities, plus very high licensing cost.

That's pretty much how I would feel for this or for the Homer Car. Is either one a good idea? Probably not, no. But it's fun to see different things, and trying new stuff is how we learn and grow, even when we do it because the CEO or his brother is making bad decisions.

The thing weighs 8000 to 10000 lb (3629 to 4536 kg). That’s shockingly heavy to move around 200lbs meat sacks.
Most EVs weigh about that much, to the point that some cities are considering amending "No trucks" signs to also say no EVs.

stainless has a very strong tendency to want to walk back from forming operations.

And other cars due to the weight.
