Very lukewarm take but holy shit is the cybertruck the ugliest vehicle ever made, doesn’t even have an aesthetic in a bazinga way.
So it will slit your throat as well when it runs you over?
Also if that’s untreated sheet metal, which it sure looks like and has duct tape on it so wouldn’t surprise me, you’ll actually be able to hear the salt eating holes in your vehicle in real time in the winter.
Hideous as fuck.
The DeLorean from Back to the Future at least had some charm and creative design.
This shit here just looks like what’d happen if you put the DeLorean into Blender and decimated the polys down to PS1 levels
This shit box is just a tin toy coffin on wheels.
The DeLorean from Back to the Future
You know the DeLorean came before Back to the Future, right?
DeLorean himself is basically what would happen if a guy tried to do what Musk did in the auto industry without being able to use a government carbon credit program to essentially get bankrolled by the rest of the auto industry. He pissed everyone off, delivered a subpar car that looked unique, then got busted for cocaine trafficking (though he was found not guilty by way of police entrapment) and went bankrupt.
It’s a sick as hell car though, I would love a modern, electric version.

I actually did not know this. Thanks for telling me. I never see any on the road so I wasn’t aware they were a thing before the movie.

Agreed. It would be a treat.
So I just learned after posting this that DMC is back and they’re literally making exactly that, but at $125K I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with my Chevy Volt lmao.
When a car is the cost of a more “reasonably priced” house 🤣

Let me be clear, Sub 10 µm accuracy!
These are so ugly
They’re immaculatey fitted though, duct tape and all
Omfg no way i didn’t see that 😱
Do you think his stupid internal email about micron accuracy or whatever was because he saw this fucking thing and realised he’d fucked up lmao.
I don’t think Elon has ever realized that he’s fucked up, it’s other people. But yeah, I think he saw the memes mocking teslas quality, then he saw this, then he got mad at other people for failing him
Man if only his cars didn’t randomly drive off and kill people or burst into flames then he could concentrate on the real issues like a ugly ass car.
So any imperfection in the metal (e.g., poor manufacturing; dings, dents, chips, etc.) will be super blaringly obvious on these trucks, right? Like, maybe they’ll look ‘good’ during their first week or when you’re in light that doesn’t produce hard shadows or reflections, but it’s gotta be a steep and almost immediate decline thereafter?
You’d almost think that there was a reason why car paint and clear coat exists
Worked for the Delorean
Hell yeah it did, sexy thing
Couldn’t you get some sort of chrome paint to achieve a similar effect but with the added layers of protection. Though you’re probably just going to be shining the sun into other drivers’ eyes regularly.

Cybertruck: the best looking vehicle for people who live in a PS1 video game engine.
No way this is real, is that duct tape on the driver side fender??
They’ve rolled a duct taped prototype out to a car expo before and allowed everybody in the crowd to film it, i don’t see why this wouldn’t be real.
Oh I had no idea, that’s even worse
Something something big lies are easier to believe than little lies
Just add some green paint and mount a gun on the back there and you’ll have the Halo CE version of the warthog.
Turning a car into a boat is easy, it’s turning it back into a car that’s the tricky part
I would unironically love to own a modern version of the Amphicar.
I also like the 6 wheeled atvs with tank controls that can float on water
Guess I’m in the minority that actually likes this. I hate washing my car and I hate the maintenance of gas cars. I literally dgaf about what it looks like. I’ve never cared. Probably why I drive a beat-up Nissan leaf. Can it haul my shit around and go 400+ miles on charge? From what I’ve read, it’s got a 6ft bed with added space in the frunk (or whatever they call that). If they can make that for under $50k, they’ll have plenty of people buying it. These release candidate builds aren’t meant to be final products. Now, if it looks like this when they deliver to customers, then people should complain.
Not that many people that far left on the bell curve, so of course you’re in the minority.
It looks like it absolutely murders the shit out of pedestrians
Agreed. That’s the problem with trucks in general and US regulators.
You are absolutely right that trucks and regulators have a problem in general with being pedestrian-killers, but this one has a much more specific case because of the sharp edges.
I hate washing my car
This will be 10x worse then.
Fortunately Chinese companies are going hard into the EV space.

The base model (63 kWh) starts at RMB 178,800 (roughly $25K), the 86 kWh is RMB 198,800 ($27.8K), and the top-tier 100 kWh version starts at RMB 228,800 ($32K).
Stop trying to reinvent the pickup truck. Its form was mastered decades ago by the kei truck
Objectively correct take
this dumbass tin box is the car equivalent of the titan sub
I’m looking forward to the inexplicable pressure implosion at 1 atm
The duct tape and uneven panel edges
