Cybertruck - Thoughts?
 

Opening it up for any and all thoughts about the Cybertruck.

I think it's silly but there a market for silly and it's different.

Would I own one? - Nope but my son would (My son and I discussed this some time ago, He's 26).

Production issues. It is going to be heavy 8000 lbs GVW and expensive, not to mention build quality issues.

Enthusiasts will overlook the obvious shortcomings, people who need a truck for work will stick with ICE.

Personally I think it's way too expensive, it's fugly, and I'm not sure the bed design will make it a good truck.

On the other hand, the price will give it status, and 99.9% will only carry groceries and kids.

I suspect EVs will result in many less trucks being sold. That's because EPA fuel requirements unintentionally favoring pickups will be moot. Who knows? Maybe the station wagon will be back in vouge.

The station wagon is very much in vogue today; they call them crossovers now.

One of my friends has one on order, and it has been a log time coming to get delivery.

He is single, he has a 911 SC, a C7 Corvette, a 66 Split window and he sold two other Vettes he had to use that cash for the Cyber truck. He also has 4 motorcycles.

That will never be a working truck.

Not interested in any truck that doesn't have a full eight foot box.

I use my old F250 as a real truck. Don't need it every day anymore, but when I need it, I need all of it.

That is not a truck, not even remotely....

My grandkids power wheels are more of a truck than that thing.

Novelty vehicle. People will buy it to be seen it, not drive/use it.
Like a sports car with an automatic transmission. lol

Novelty for sure.

Ugly/over priced/useless as a truck . Did I mention ugly ?

It's a "look at me vehicle".
Add it to the long list of others that fit the category.

I am curious what the production version will look like if they ever make it.
Sorta need headlights

I think the flat panels will be its main downfall. Rivian built an electric truck with as many cool features as they could fit in it. They get form follows function. The Cybertruck does not.

Rivian makes and excellent van. Ask Amazon

Have you seen pick up trucks in Europe. Nope all vans.

Never understood the love for the pick up truck here. They are less than ideal compared to a van.

Cybertruck...... Cyberturd

I've driven vans and based on that experience I prefer driving / using a pick up.

You'd think that someone with the nickname "flatbutt' would naturally gravitate to the C'truck
