| Tesla Cybertruck
Saw one in the wild this morning. 
Pretty cool, though I don't think I could ever get myself to own something that looks like this. It's a little out there lol.

Pure comedy. It's almost like a troll on people who would buy one?
Maybe all cars will look like it 10 years from now though, who knows? Credit for doing something different at least.

I have a personal rule not to judge any vehicle by photos alone. I will need to take a hard look in person at this one before I form an opinion.
Agreed with Skinny, credit to Tesla for doing something so wildly outside of the box.
If camper mode becomes a thing we might see plenty of these, or similar variations of, down the road due to unaffordable housing. 
Then our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be rocking them on mars looking at earth as a giant national park that needs to be preserved.

What a blight on the road, look at it size wise compared to like a frickin Jeep Cherokee next to it? It's twice the size of an already mid-size SUV? And for what purpose, can't carry shit all in the back of it with that slope.
Yah, looks super good for the environment. No raw material wastage there at all. going to be almost 7,000lbs... Rivian is 8,500... anybody driving a normal car getting into an accident with one of these doesn't stand a chance.

CTR was completely destroyed and the Model X no longer had a front end.

Well there's nothing in the front end of a Tesla, just a collapse zone... so that makes sense.

I think modern vs modern cars are fine. The dead ppl will be anyone driving something the 90's or even early 2000's.
I keep telling my co-worker that a 96 Camry on used, mistached is frugal and all but you're gonna die.

with modern cars and all the techs, you would think the accident rate should be going down. Especially with EVs that are computers on wheels, and connected to the internet at all times. Gov't can easily regulate the speeds limit of these cars by GPS. They can set school/park zones speed limits as well as hwy speed limits.

Someone else is responsible for your fries not being unjacked.

Lol there was that NHTSA video that showed an old car being crashed into a new car and the old car gets destroyed. There's an interview with them at the end: "what happened?" 
We're getting to the point now where a new set of videos will get released. New cars getting crushed by newer cars. 
I don't see a problem here, just need to be the bigger fucker. Crush or be crushed!!

The weight arms race won't go away. Weight is the last thing on the list for most consumers. Batteries, screens, heated/cooled seats, new safety standards, 16 airbags, batteries. The only way to cut weight is if we start building cars out of carbon or magical batteries.

Saw one at the Peterson museum in LA. It's just as ugly in real life. Have a day 1 pre order.

Are those plastic fender flares or metal? Also are those the final wheels? I thought they would do some aero wheels like the rest of the range

Majority of pickups are driven to commute, or drive to a strip mall, and might see a trip to home depot or lowes once in a blue moon. What you are describing can basically be said for all pickups lol.

Too late Tesla. I don't see any normal truck dude getting this when the Lightning and Silverado EV are available.
