That thing has a mullet too. Business upfront and party in the back based on wheel sizes. It got even uglier! LOL

Could not agree more on this thing getting even more uglier. The sad thing is there are over 1.2M on pre-order. I realize that the deposit was a joke, but even so it is hard enough to see the number of Tesla's on the road now, but a bunch of these on the road is going to be pretty hideous when they get to volume distribution. I just do not get it.

The idea was to be as different as possible. They accomplished that.

Now, is it going to be perceived as another Pontiac Aztec in terms of looks? Or, will people view it as a Dodge Power Wagon?

The Cyber Truck is def Breaking Bad.

The windows are actually all fake. The cybertruck cabin is all VR, one gigantic touchscreen display surrounding you. Its yoke is virtual too, you hold a single controller in your right hand for steering, acceleration, and braking. You can do whatever you want with your left hand. The controller also has a blinker function but the AI electrode that you have to paste to your forehead before driving usually know where you're going. It's all spec'd to the same standards as a SpaceX module just in case the Autopilot crashes you. Oh and those wheels don't rotate, they levitate.

I wouldn't want to be at the head of the delivery line for the CT...
As a Model Y owner my car was built in late Sept 2020 and was a "2021" model, so it was built a full 6 months after the first Model Y's. The Model Y's that were built only one month after mine added (for free mind you) Double layer side window glass, heated steering wheel, auto dimming side view mirrors, new-better headlights, and a free USB flash drive for Tesla Cam relocated to an additional new USB port in the glovebox. The even newer Model Y's will include front and rear Mega-Casts and 4680 structural battery packs.

I can only imagine the improvements made to the CT after a year of production. They will make the early versions look like stripped down prototypes.

If someone wants to wait until 2025, then yes their Cybertruck will be a little more improved.....

So there's a video and some more photos of the Cybertruck testing. It looks really awkward driving around this testing area.

100%. That's what happens when you can reserve one for $100.
For the same starting price I rather get an F-150 Lightning

Since they haven't started building beta versions yet (this one at the airport parking lot looks like an early Alpha), there is plenty of time to add improvements - before they start mass producing them. For example, I don't think they will produce any until they have the 4680s to put in them. Also I don't think they start ramping the build until them have the Armor glass sorted out. Ditto the mega castings.

Sometime between Jan 2023 and Jan 2024 we hopefully will see some CTs rolling on the highways.

As terrible as it looks, if it displaces people from buying gas and diesel trucks, I'm all for it.

There was one thing that I used to tell myself when I had a leaf leased for commuting, me driving one means there is one less for me to see or look at on the road.

Same here.
It along with other new EVs will help the push for more EV charging stations and that's a major upside, even though Tesla has its own network. But we can use an adapter and EA along with other companies are expanding.

Just a horrific design. Something a toddler would draw up.

Omg. That truck is a fricken beautiful

The CT is just stupid. And Crazy Elon keeps making it worse.

Well stop there. Anybody driving a Leaf for any reason should be arrested.

A toddler did design it. crazy Elon strikes again.
