Having not watched the video, you can show me all the cool things that car does or how smooth of a drive it is.

None of that is enough to overcome how stupid it looks.

I pass one every morning on my way to drop my daughter off at school.

I've seen a few in the wild at this point. They are ugly. Like a big silver dumpster on wheels.

This.

Someone in my neighborhood or general area has one because I’ve seen it on a few occasions. Every time I see it I laugh because it’s the ugliest vehicle I’ve seen since the PT Cruiser. But it’s 4x the cost.

Slapping a giant iPad randomly on the center console is the worst design trend to take hold of the industry over the past several years.

It's not even limited to Tesla and other electric cars. I was in a Range Rover last weekend and it had the same stupid giant screen stuck on the console. Is it that hard to incorporate the screen INTO the console?

The only explanation I can come up with for the Cybertruck is that it’s a distillation of years of nobody telling Musk no. I just can’t fathom how anyone thought it was a good idea.

Nobody it is denying it is ugly. I just turned down purchase on one because it was a 6.2 Apr. even throwing 50k down on it and trading my f150 I couldn’t justify it. To get the 400 mile range it was 115k

It is the most technologically advanced vehicle on the market. Until you have driven one you will just be a hater.

Didn't he come up with the design in a few minutes with his son as a sort of joke or fun activity to think up what a car from the "future" should look like?



It's funny when you see tesla nuthuggers attempt to brag about how amazing the design is or how revolutionary and efficient the building process and materials are when Musk himself has called it a boondoggle for Tesla.

I've seen a bunch in the wild now, and I'm starting to see Cybertrucks of Color now too

I like them and think they look cool.

I've seen several in the wild in north DFW and agree, they look like shite.

Now I've seen 3-4 wrapped ones which looked really cool.


They need to wrap all of them, even if it's black, white or whatever.

Says the same people that admire a F-150.
It’s growing on me though

Why are none of the body panels straight and flat? Was next to one in traffic this morning and each of the panels had waves in it.

Ownership of a cybertruck is a sure way to let the world know you have more money than good sense.

But there is a waiting list to get one. How is this a fail?
