Tesla Cybertruck

[FirstWorldProblems]

Yeah they're def not gonna find a half million people a year willing to pay big dollars for something this ugly. All they had to do was make an actual truck, think lightning or rivian, and it would have taken big chunks of the market share.

Instead they built something out of a 90's video game

Did anyone at tesla ever publicly admit that they designed it this way so that they didn't have to spend time or effort worrying about stamping, complex dies etc? It has one body line and everything else is dead flat, it's awful.

By the time it comes out it'll be ready for a mid-cycle refresh.

Careful. You'll have the tesla nut hugging white knights ride in and tell you how unique this truck is and how nothing else on the road looks like it. It's going to be the greatest truck ever

The tesla crowd does have a propensity for exalting blatant cost-cutting measures as innovative, revolutionary etcetc. I'm sure the bare ugly flat panels on the cybertruck will be no different.

That's what's kind of unfortunate, tesla doesn't do refreshes. So they had one shot with this truck and this is what they came up with.

Yes, they flat out said this. It’s easier and cheaper to make and no paint makes the factory way cheaper

If it yells "SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!" after an accident, ill be all in.

I actually put a deposit down on one LOL.

My daughter turns 16 in less than 3 years and plan is to give her my F150. Would like another truck, but want to go electric. Will definitely depend what the updated Lightning looks like. These are ugly as shit, but they're supposed to be fast as hell, which should make it fun.

Also contemplating buying a beater and a new C8 instead....but might be too impractical for now. I have a couple years to think about it.

I thought the stamping process was revolutionary and expensive. Because the body panels are like 1/2 in thick plates to make it bulletproof.


You know, because no consumers asked for it so Tesla had to tell them what they wanted to pay for.

It’s a joke that went too far. Terrible. I hope they have shit crash test ratings.

I’m kind of surprised it has not been renamed with a model number, like “420” or “69”. Maybe those are being saved for whatever is supposed to come out next.
