^^^ It's on jackstands and I assume they put the tracks there for the photo so we could drool over it.

Nope, it's real. They ended up breaking a spindle.

As for the “truck,” I’ve taken better looking dumps.

Drove past one on the freeway the other day and it was small next to my Ram 2500 extended cab long bed truck. I'm around 21 foot long.

I saw one in Austin Tx. the other week.
Three thoughts.
It was big.
It was ugly.
It was BENT! The rear end looked like someone jumped it Dukes of Hazzard style off some sideroad running from Boss Hog. The whole concept of the design (I think) is some angular symmetry of some sort, but this thing was warped like a frozen wal-mart chalupa.

My 12 year old daughter took a picture of it, texted it to her friends, who said "Nice Lamborghini"

And just think, in 25 years people will be restoring Cybertrucks.
...Either that or denying they ever owned one.

I finally saw this "truck" while I was driving today. It was parked next to a conventional (and much smaller) car.

My first thought was "There's the box....Where's the vehicle?" To my eye it really does look like a high-end shipping crate or trailer for another vehicle.

My second thought was "What were they thinking?!?" But they I realized it came out of Elon Musk's fevered imagination. 'Nuf said.

Jeezus Criyst - It's a huge improvement to the original.
