I’m not saying I hate it – there are very few cars I hate.
I admire that they did something different – I’m all for variety.
But it is not something I would ever buy, in the same way I’d never buy a Hummer. And I think most truck buyers would never consider buying it either.
It is basically a work of art, whether it is good art or bad art is in the eye of the beholder.
It is definitely form over function.
I noticed how they showed the video of it pulling a F-150 uphill in a tug of war event…seems legit to me given the likely weight and torque of the cybertruck.
At the same time, I notice there was no mention of how it does in mud or sand – that same weight that helped in the tug of war will become a severe liability in those conditions.
Not sure I agree with you on the ease/lack of repair. Delorean owners report that scratches are hard to repair and repairs are very noticeable due to the lack of paint. And that seam where the tailgate meets the side of the bed? That looks like an alignment nightmare.
Given that the Tesla fanbase is filled with greenie eco-weenies, this seems like a very curious choice of implementations. Something that big and heavy will use a lot of electric resources and, no matter how that is generated, it is not the most efficient use of those resources. How is his base going to get behind this without looking two-faced?
But again, glad to see someone try something truly different. I like seeing Hummers zipping around because they are different and the cybertruck will no doubt catch my eye around town too.
We are going to the LA auto show in a few days and would love to see this there. I’m hopeful!
