i have zero interest in FCA products...nor GM trucks after working ona Silverado
yeah this is breaking the mould...wish more companies are willing to experiment outside cookie cutters (Jeep Gladiator is at least pretty bold)
yep, i have no idea why they're trying to make the glass 'balls' proof unless this is for law enforcement/military/gang bangers
i bet awful blind spots wont bother me in practice after a few days if there's radars, 360 cams, self-parking ai, etc

I've never thought about getting a pickup myself due to the limited practicality in my daily routine. I'd probably use the bed in the back once a month if I had one and the mileage is quite horrifying for the rest of the time. And unless I go with the larger (crewcab) config, a truck isn't very fitting for a family.
The reason why I decided to go ahead with a preorder was just that. A "car" that has an on-demand bed when I need to haul stuff, while being suitable for a family. All built-in... no need to add/take anything. It's the first time a pickup made to be practical enough for me, a very normal J6P guy.
The tri-motor version I ordered is a sub 3sec 0-60 and 10sec 1/4miles "car". Easily the FASTEST I will probably ever own.
And seriously... this "car" has an incredible road presence that's probably only matched by a Hummer H1. Which is a very smart move. Real work people don't care about the look. They want toughness, and they want road presence if they care enough to raise it, put some big wheels/tyres, chrome/metal parts... etc. Cybertruck checks all that. Super tough, all metal and you can bet to have some big ass wheel/tires in them.
Practicality, performance and presence... you'd be hard to find another pickup on the market (either existing or announced) to be able to equal this, let alone topping it.
