Tesla Cybertruck

[impact]

Whatever people's take on his cars Musk knows how to generate PR.
Blade runner madness with some big EV pickup stats.

I heard he was looking for Gavin from Autoglass.

 

[impact]

Gavin will be getting plenty of work by the look of it.

 

[warren]

Its quite something..... I'm not sure how I feel at all. Part of me thinks it looks like something straight out of Halo.

I guess theres nothing that said it had to look like a normal pickup I guess! Watching the drive videos, the headlights are badass.

 

[big_pete]

Honestly so disappointed. Some of the renders going about ahead of launch that were more conventional looked fantastic. That is an utter mess

 

[scub]

wouldn't last over here...
windies would be put in nae bother

 

[da.murf]

What annoyed me was the complete lack of polish in the presentation.

‘what will we do now.... aye do the glass test’

looks around abit

‘watch this video’

van is blocking half the screen lol.

When you compare it to how Apple launches products or windows etc it looked amateur hour.

tesla’s first big flop me thinks

The shambolic launch cost him $750 million in stock devaluation so far....though he's reportedly worth $20billion so I'm sure he's not overly worried.

I have to say I'm not sure on it. It looks like the unwanted love child of a DeLorean and a pick up truck. Very strange indeed.

 

[spaceh0pper]

I quite like it. It's what the future was supposed to look like.

 

[VEN©M]

I quite like it. It's what the future was supposed to look like.

Yes this is true, if you base your idea of futuristic vehicles from those depicted in 70s and 80s sci-fi movies.

what an absolute shambolic launch, embarrassing and cringeworthy.

 

[Boydie]

Even futuristic cars drawn in the 80s didn’t look like that. Don’t understand the styling at all tbh but figures are impressive

 

[j44nty]

I don’t like. I f@@king love it and I want one. That’s awesome. Needs more light bars and mad max bull bars welded on but it’s goer for sure. Me likes the future maybe.

Seems to be popular enough.... Over 150k pre-orders (or whatever Tesla call them) made already.

I also ready the reason the windows broke was due to 'micro fractures' caused by testing it too much before the launch. They've released videos of it working perfectly on testing though a spherical ball thrown by a man and a bullet fired from a gun are very different things to stop.

 

[DC.]

I’m not sure if its Tesla I don’t like or just Elon Musk. The fact this launch went so bad is no surprise but then again maybe he wanted it to fail to create some extra publicity?!

 

[svensktoppen]

The fact he still got 150k orders of that monstrosity, and on the back of that mess of a launch to boot, is the bit that really annoys me, lol

He really has managed to make Tesla the iPhone of the car world with people queuing up to buy before it has even hit the streets or anyone has driven one.

It's a bit mad, but hey, fair play to him for pulling it off!

 

[Brennan]

It’s just a bit mad looking, looks like it’s been designed by a kid in microsoft paint lol

I watched the launch of it have to say the presentation was very unorganised, Elon even sounded a bit uninterested himself. Sounded like he was winging it lol

 

[warren]

I think now that a few days have passed I think its actually quite excellent. Its utterly daft and its brilliant. Imagine seeing one of those parked at tesco.

 

[Gavlar]

Heard it was designed simplistically to keep the end cost down for customers

 

[mrloaf]

Musk is just bonkers, have to admire the man for his efforts.

 

[stevyg]

I love it. I think its a bold approach, everyone is copying each others designs and he took it a different direction. Others will follow I'm sure of it. Can't wait to see one on the road.

 

[ahannigan]

The preorder is a $100 refundable payment, isn’t considered part of the deposit, and can be cancelled/refunded anytime. As such I’d take any mad preorder numbers with a pinch of salt.

 

[Greg_PCRS]

Seen it brfore....i wonder where....


I think its radical, very brave, unpredictible and maybe too visionary as for our times.

 

[JH86]

I think it looks cool AF

 

[Paddy_R]

Doug DeMuros review of it is probably the best I've seen thus far:
