No shit. I'd bet money the Cybertruck design isn't coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.

Because everything musk does is basically bullshit.

• $30k Tesla
• Tesla semi
• Cybertuck 4 years late
• Full autonomous driving

Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It's a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.

Has anyone tossed a brick at the windows yet? Or has that debacle been swept under the rug?

some customers have expressed their disappointment in online forums.

Wow. That's brave of them. Throwaways, I assume.

Am I the only one who thinks this is ugly as fuck?

Every day with the Elon spam. It’s infected Lemmy.

You really don’t want to be a pedestrian crossing the road in front of one of these. Just in case.

All these problems, and it's ugly as hell to boot.

Modern day DMC DeLorean. All the disappointment and the crazy CEO to go along with it. Maybe when Tesla folds up they can get a movie made about the truck like Back to the Future. Wonder what the movie will be called?

Seems like at best its almost on par with the F-150 Lightning for the fanboys...it's just $30k more.

Seriously if you're a fan boy just buy the F-150Lightning and a Model 3 and you'll save money.

Who expected more from a stainless steel chassis? Stuff is heavy and expensive.

You know this headline is fake because Cybertruck fan boys would never ever act like it's anything but a 100% perfect personal space shuttle + superiority license

The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn't say. I'm guessing that he didn't want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that's my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly.. https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV

the dangerous brake lights are more of a concern to me than the cost and range.

This thing is so far behind schedule and they’re failing at the basics.

Was elongated muskrat trying to make the ugliest thing on the road? It makes the Pontiac Aztec look pretty.

It also look like a... Trash can lol.

I watched the mkbhd video on it.

It was like he was trying to make everything sound cool, even though he knows it's a disappointment.

Ladies and gentlemen. The car built for the average man

It's a big, stupid truck but so is every other truck it's competing against. It's got poor visibility but so does every other truck/suv being sold in America. The cheapest option doesn't have the longest range but it's still longer than the average person would realistically drive in a day. It can't haul much but the overwhelming majority of people driving trucks in America aren't towing or hauling things on a day to day basis.. The people doing real work buy vans or have special purpose trucks.

The steering geometry seems nice and the rear wheel steering is interesting. Those seem like the only major positives though.

It's not as bad as everyone seems to be making it out to be but it's obviously still a dumb car that shouldn't exist. That's all cars though really.

EDIT: Since the front windshield is flat, I assume its cheaper to replace than typical curved windshields? No idea though.. Might be talking out of my ass.

The damn thing looks like it was rendered in the original quake engine. Fucking quake rally car.
