Tesla Cyber Truck or Rivian R1T

Rivian without a doubt

I could justify the Rivian as a luxury truck if the numbers don't work. Like the Lincoln Blackwood or Cadillac truck thing.

That Tesla is just fugly.

Like John Delorean came back to offer design ideas.

Tesla Cyber Truck




Edit - bonus points for the first person to identify the television show the pic is from.

Guess I’m in the minority but I like the Tesla.

Rivian looks like a Honda Ridgeline. Cybertruck looks like something Robocop would drive. I would take the Cybertruck.

I’m a traditionalist and have mixed feelings about electric cars replacing the IC engines of today. I can’t defend it, I just feel that way.

I hear ya, it's tough to give up the sound and the feel. But IMO electric vehicles just have too many advantages. Aside from the obvious "fuel" costs are cheaper, the fact that you're carrying around a huge battery opens up lots of options for utility. Like I think the Rivian will have a fricking pull-out kitchen option! Just slide it out and fire up the stove. Also Musk said the Cybertruck will have a solar panel bed cover option, which can get you about a mile or two of range per hour of sunlight. Also talking about a possible slide out solar "wing", which could add a few more miles of range per hour of sun. That means some people might never have to plug the damned thing in.

And with many, many fewer moving parts, mechanical breakdowns should be few and far between. With the fuel and maintenance savings, the TCO for EVs will make them hard to pass up in the next few years, especially assuming battery tech continues to advance.
