Some Tesla engineers secretly started designing a Cybertruck alternative because they ‘hated’ it::“They were like, ‘You can’t be serious.’ They didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” Franz von Holzhausen said, according to Walter Isaacson.

There’s no way in hell this shit doesn’t completely flop, right? Like, who in their right mind would buy this garbage aside from techbros riding Elon’s pole?
There’s a ton of goobers that want it, but very few are actually going to be able to afford it. It’s going to be 80k plus
I know someone who preordered this atrocity immediately. He of course drives a Tesla already and was convinced it was fully self-driving capable (3 years ago! LOL).
Some people really embrace Musk’s reality distortion field. Other co-workers just made fun of him and asked him if he was going to put his current Tesla S on his Cybertruck’s truckbed to max out his Tesla fanboyism.
If it weren’t for Musk standing to make a profit from it and Tesla’s history of questionable design decisions and quality issues, I’d potentially be interested in one. I like how it looks (although my aesthetic choices are certainly not everyone’s cup of tea,) and the specs are pretty impressive if they manage to deliver on them.
There’s a lot of hunger out there for more EV trucks, musk fanboys will gobble up anything he is involved in, and lots of people make questionable vehicle purchases, I think it will sadly sell just fine.
I predict it will flop harder than the Segway.
Here’s to hoping Musk tries some extreme cyber trucking on a very high and dangerous cliff somewhere too.
Was the Segway a flop? I feel like they were popular with university campuses and the like.
They were supposed to change everything. When was the last time you even saw one?
Only ones without a handle, and not branded by segway.
wait it’s still in process, not out yet? How long is the development during, for this horror?
There are plenty of people not in their right minds who have the money (or access to financing) and questionable taste to go buy the thing as soon as it’s available.
It will be a moderate success, I suspect. Owing more to the massive demand for electric vehicles than the cyber truck’s particular design.
No chance it will outsell the f150 lightning, except possibly if Ford can’t build enough to meet demand.
I don’t like Elon and I don’t like trucks but I like the cybertruck design 🙂 it’s just refreshingly new design on the road
Refreshingly new? It looks like someone started 3D modelling a Sprinter Trueno, but gave up after making the first low poly draft.
I like this sort of art
Something that looks straight out of a Hulk Hogan action show is refreshingly new to you? It looks like a late 80s early 90s toy.
Sorry, I’m not that old 😅
