Cybertruck

[canyonslicker]

I’m on the fence for looks but it has great features for what it is. There’s a lot myths already circulating without any real evidence. I don’t like EVs but as the saying goes “There’s an ass for every driver’s seat “ BTW so far if I was to get an EV this would be the one, not a Lightning.

They're fucking horrible. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer designs his own "working man's" car and bankrupts his millionaire brother. Honestly, I'd be embarrassed pulling up in one of those.

Hopefully anyone stupid enough to buy into Elon's cybertruck troll also falls for his brain chip troll and ends up like those macaw monkeys in his experiments. Actually that would make Elon a kind of eugenicist...maybe I've been too harsh on this guy.

im not an ev fan but if it was ford ev vs the tesla id do tesla. the cyber truck likely gets a lot of attention.

Naw you’re being too hard on yourself, seemingly insane concepts are very foreign to most people. Take a step back and think about it…

So seemingly sensible concepts only make sense to very few people?

I’ve seen a couple. Hard on the eyes for sure. I’ve heard Tesla has the self driving thing pretty dialed tho. To rich for my bluff either way tho.

 

[9zero1790]

i think some of the fords are now self driving. but i dont trust it no matter the brand.

So thats why I've never seen one....the owners are "wrapping" them to look like something else !!!
That may be why there are so many more vehicles on the road that resemble Yugo's.....
If I had the misfortune to own something that ugly, I'd disguise it too....or maybe shoot it and bury it....

Yeah, I saw it somewhere on YouTube, quite the flap. Seems many new owners are finding their Cybertrucks corroding within a very short time, turning it into a true mad max style look right away. So they do a vinyl wrap, which also allows them to get a color other than brushed stainless to boot.

In those reviews there were quite a few other disappointments noted, like the charging port being located such that a normal Supercharger station doesn’t really accommodate them without some special parking gymnastics, etc.

Frankly, my read on a few of these new owner reviews, it didn’t seem these people were all that happy with their truck. Sadly, I guess they signed an agreement not to resell their truck. Not sure how enforceable that deal is though.

All in all, it appears the issues with the Cybertruck are going to make the Model X seem like a home run…

Stock looks like it is headed back to a hundred in the not too distant future, sales seem to hit a wall globally this last quarter. Kind of hard to pay a big growth PE for a company that isn’t growing…

Saw my first in December at the track where it was hauling ... gasoline for its owner's Lemons race car. It was like seeing a UFO. Not pretty, but amazing that it exists at all.

Now I've seen five in the last two days, and it's already "jumped the shark". The instant the novelty wears off (quickly), it's kind of a joke. Great technology or not, I've never seen something go from "whoa!" to "douchey" so fast.

unique is something esp these days. so many cars look the same. all sort of that rounded box on wheels.

Yup agree completely. Hopefully it will make other manufactures come up with different designs as well.

A close friend of mine has one ordered and he's looking forward to me driving it in some off road situations. He's a city slicker and doesn't even know where to find a gravel road let alone a mud puddle. (I'm not bashing him, he's fully aware of his "city upbringing" lol)
I'm assuming it'll take longer to get here in Canada. But I'll post on here and give everyone an unbiased opinion..... I'm not overly brand loyal, and to be honest I don't care what other people spend their money on. I have a hard enough time worrying about my own money lol.

When you don't have the ability to shape metal, This is what you get!

This is actually a big part of the reason for the design.

The cold rolled stainless steel used is so tough that forming it into typical body shapes is near impossible.

I'm not anti-EV, but there are still precious few chargers in my area. I could charge at home for 90+% of my use, but when I venture into the northern parts of the state it becomes a charging wasteland.

I'd buy a Cybertruck over a Lightning, Rivian, or Silverado EV if I were looking for an electric truck.

But for me, a hybrid makes much more sense.

If Maverick hybrid could be had in 4x4, I'd probably be there.

There is a large amount of hate toward Teslas simply because they're Teslas.

Tesla implemented a Sentry Mode due to so many of their vehicles getting keyed for no reason.
