    “ Now, before Cybertruck haters say that the truck is doomed, it is quite normal for vehicles to break down during test programs. “

    I like this part because while yes it’s normal for test mules to break down it’s definitely NOT something I’d expect of a vehicle that has gone years over its quoted development time. Given we’re like two years past the initial release date I’d expect all the test cars to be done at this point.

    What a stupid fucking name. It sounds like a straight to video movie from 1998 starring Eric Roberts and Skeet Ulrich.

    Cyber Truck!!

      Have you seen what the owner has named his other companies/products? He’s mentally stuck in his teen years

        and plenty of teens never go through such extreme cringe even in their most difficult years.

    With the Musk fandom moving further and further to the right in recent years, it seems this truck probably has a lot more commercial potential now than when it was first announced a hundred or so years ago. People are going to be driving around in overpriced electric trucks in order to “own the liberals”.

      No way rednecks will be switching to this stupid thing. It’s not “manly” looking enough for those types.

        It’s interesting because it’s got great features for a range of uses however each of those uses it has major flaws that make it a horrible option.

        Electric work vehicle would be great but the bed is super awkward and the general layout looks awkward

        As an off-road sleeper it’s extra solar panel option is great but it’s so big the energy consumption makes it worthless

        For general multi-,use it’s storage isn’t big enough to fill half the jobs and it’s physically too large to be useful in half the jobs

        Of course it will sell because people seem obsessed by buying the worst vehicle on the market but what can you do

        Most trucks aren’t used as work vehicles, so it’s not as if that’s relevant.

          Yeah, but the guy I replied to was talking as potential for commercial work.

    The wrap makes me smile. Everyone knows what the CT looks like. As soon as you see the general shape, yup, that’s a Cybertruck. I guess now the point is to identify pictures of pre-production CTs vs. the final product.
