I would never buy one, but I do look forward to seeing them on the road. They look so cool.
See I think they look idiotic. Different for sure but not cool at all.
I think it depends entirely on whether you grew up watching Back to the Future and Total Recall or not.
honestly people are just looking for things to complain about. When the Model S came out, they had a huge fake grille because everyone complained that it looked weird without it. Now it looks stupid with it and the new front end with the tiny slit looks great. People complained that the model 3 looked weird without any grille at all, now it's the most boring car on the road. There were people saying Rivian would fail purely on looks because those headlights are so weird. Turns out absolutely nobody cares in reality.
I’m not sure if being a fan of old sci-fi is for or against liking the cybertruck. IMHO the brilliance of the Tesla vehicles, to date, has been that they don’t try to look like futuristic vehicles as imagined by mid- to late-20th century (physical effect era) sci-fi films. Instead of looking goofy, they’re normal.
The cybertruck is a radical departure from that, and I suspect it’s going to hit a wall of interest/demand. I think there is a knee or sharp cutoff, with few people in the “don’t care either way” category. Lots of people (non-NASCAR fans) would be happy with any truck that is reliable and has the features they want because they all look like normal trucks. That casual demand wont extend to the cybertruck.
I grew up with Back to the Future and Total Recall and think the tesla truck looks like a 5 year old tried to draw a DeLorean from memory.
I thought regular teslas were ugly with the back end shaped like a sports bra, but this this is on a whole other level.
I watched both of those, and this thing is laughable. The best thing it will do is immediately identify the operator as a clown.
