    I must admit that it does look pretty nice. If it wasn’t musk-related i would’ve bought one. But due to him i wouldn’t take one if it came for free when buying another car.

        Awesome! I love trash-pandas! That would be a selling-point!

      I saw one in person for the first time last week. It does not look good. Not at all like what the press images show. The panels were not planner, they were all warped and wavey. The gaps between panels were huge and uneven. Honestly, it looked like a reject from a bargain Back to the Future theme park ride, or like a poor quality cosplay piece.

      Maybe the owner just wasn’t taking care of it, but regardless, it looked bad.

        Lol. Can’t judge yet. I only know it from the handful photos i saw. While the teslas all look horrible, the truck at least had some distinct optics. Probably will never see one where i live, even those murican “trucks” are so very rare here and chuckled upon. Unless it’s a construction- or woodworking-company or something that would need one.

          It’s funny you mention woodworking, as that’s something I have personal experience with. If I showed up at my hardwood dealer / plywood supplier with a cyber truck and tried to load it up with lumber, they would laugh me out of the parking lot. They would never take me seriously again. It’s a completely impractical design for any kind of actual work. I can kind of understand the truck from a fashion accessory point of view, but not from a real world work one. Not at all.

            Absolutely. Fashion yes, real world lol.

            Recently saw a comparison of one of those murican “trucks” (f150 i think) and some way tinier toyota something, where both had basically the same utility and space, the f150 is just bigggger for now reason (and eats more fuel). Hence u rarely see them here in private hands. People instantly assume your peepee-size 😂 Let alone a hummer 😂😂

      I think we can all agree aesthetics are subjective. The down votes are likely for saying anything positive about something related to Musk (or just folks who disagree). Which, to your point, would be an interesting experiment: put one in front of people who don’t know who made it and see what they think.

        I expected mindless downvotes due to saying something like that. Same kind of sheeples like the musk-fanboys. Just their ignorance turned 180°. Like atheists to theists 😁

        Yup, would be interesting to see. Not surprising of course. So many sheeple don’t dare to have an opinion that deviates from the popular one.

      It “looks” nice from afar. Apparently, when you look closer, then it looks less nice - or useful, to be fair. For example, the truck bed appears to be inconvenient. And it seems that in some models, you can’t even fit a dirt bike in it.

        Oh i have not the slightest idea about its usefulness or anything. Just based on the looks of the few imagines i would buy one if i had the need for a car like that. I prefer 2 seater convertibles 😁

          I guess if I had “fuck you” money, I’d just have an actual truck’s exterior transformed into something that resembled the cybertruck, just for the ridiculousness of its looks. But you wouldn’t catch me driving tesla tech.

            Me neither. Besides musk, i wouldn’t want something flashy anyway. People stare, you’re never invisible. I made such a mistake once, never again. Can’t understand why people like this 😁

      I’m gonna get down voted as well but I agree I like the aesthetic, I saw this matte white (photo below) one the other day that I thought looked slick.

      Now to be clear I’d never by a Tesla for numerous reasons, I would by an Aptera though (hopefully the succeed in making solar mobility a reality)

        Solar mobile? Nope, won’t happen. Please think of the oil- and power-Shareholders. You egomaniac!

        But yes, it’s refreshing to the boring market. If for SUVs, they’re all the same. Round and ugly as fuck. Except the benz ones that are only driven by gangsters 😁
