I like that... A lot...

I think that thing is ugly as ****

I'm more excited by the ATV they revealed as a bonus, but here's a cool view of how the bed of the truck works.

Just make one that does the work of my 2500 diesel.
Please. |
That seems like a good deal. I don't really need a pickup, but if it was an SUV that looked like that, I'd strongly consider it.

Give me a summer with one. We’ll see if it’s a pickup or a car with a pickup body. |
Here's the actual page with all the renders.
https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck I have to admit I'm intrigued by the camper option... :hmmm: https://i.imgur.com/NrAGS1O.jpg |
That might be the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

It doesn’t have a receiver hitch.

It looks like they got inspiration from Kobe Bryant's first show that everyone made fun of

I'm not sure why he felt the need to depart so much from the appearance of current trucks, but I'm not going to question Musk..
|
Looks like it drove out of a crappy Super Nintendo game
|

It's so freakin cool seeing a drawing that I made in the 1st grade become a reality. I better get royalites, or a truck, or something out of this. :D

Wonder what the range is when towing, 250 miles?
|
Looks like it'll hit 88 miles per hour and take you back in time.
Is the ATV and upgrade option? I don't hate it, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's a commercial flop due to aesthetics & politics. I expect the their Semi-Truck to make bigger waves. |
But can it survive in Baltimore?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...69a473d695.jpg
|
Not a working man's truck. Does it come with a ladder to reach tools at the front reaches of the bed? Won't ever be a consideration as a fleet utility truck without a topper option. The whole thing strikes me as a fancy nancy boy truck.
|
Hideous piece of shit.
|
He managed to price something near half the price of his cars, which in the normal world cost twice as much as a car.
When something is too good to be true....... If it truly has a body that can’t be dented why aren’t normal manufacturers using that skin? This pickup has small penised weekend warrior written all over it. |
I can't believe people are conditioned to think 40k for a vehicle is a good deal.

Also, Trucks and SUVs are where vehicle companies can currently make good margins. If you wanted to go against the grain on that, I'm not sure you picked a design that lines up with mainstream volume. :spock: |
What part of that ugly thing is a truck?
|
https://d32c3oe4bky4k6.cloudfront.ne...7D4F225AC0AB60
First thing I thought of was a lifted modern version of the DeLorean |
Quote:
Exactly |
honestly with a different body on it he could probably storm the mall crawler market at that price. but its so damn ugly and doesnt appear to be super functional as a truck, sort of like a ridgeline or an avalanche.

Quote:
I’d be open to it. I can run up pretty close to 250 miles in a day, but I’d be down if it can holdup. |
They really ****ed this up. I love how crazy Musk is, his brand, but they should have stuck to a similar design language with their other vehicles (which is great).

But yeah, it filling the roles that the F250/2500 "farm" crowd does seems like a huge leap. |

30 will get you a 3 year old 30K half ton that doesn't have warranty at a LT or maybe LTZ trim package. notorious is driving a 3/4 diesel. I don't know what trim package he had - and that definitely matters, but I'd bet he's in the neighborhood of 60K if he bought it new. I don't mean to speak out of turn for notorious, but those are the numbers I've found. |

At least mine, that I run in the garage at night, and 75% no payload except 700 lb or so of tools and a compressor. |
Quote:
Infinite torque, no maintenance, self-driving. Good lord that would be awesome. Someday they will, I am highly skeptical of this deal. |
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to be on the bleeding edge of a ****ing pickup on the farm, I keep lower miles pickup for my wagon strictly because I don't want to **** around with breakdowns. It just needs to run. So I'm a long way from ordering one, but on the surface it makes sense if it can do the same things mine can.

Not to go off on a rant here (for you young kids out there YouTube Dennis Miller Live), but a 40K pickup is a hell of a deal compared to a 450K Combine or 350K tractor. Sure, it's not doing the same work as those machines, but you know what a 40K pickup does do well? ****ing sensors. My pickup, which was engineered for soccer moms on paved roads that I'm driving in the field, has ECU, fuel, exhaust and all the other bullshit sensors too, except they work. Goddamned Deere (and CNH too FWIW) is engineered to be in the field and can't keep sensors running. **** that pisses me right the **** off. /rant tl;dr: If you don't like the price of new pickups, go price new Deere paint. |
It's more of a hatchback than a truck.
Maybe the market is Millies. They wouldn't know a truck if it hit 'em. |

I just don't intend to be the beta tester. |
There is no way that design as is will meet NHTSA standards. If that thing hit a pedestrian, they would be cut in half. I just hope that add a trapezoidal roof. I would be lying if I didnt say I was hoping he would pull a string, making the cardboard fall away and reveal the real truck.

Love Bueh’s rant on Deere gear. Every ****ing farmer I know says the exact same thing.
24 row planter and ONE connection gets dusty and the whole show goes to shit. LMAO |
Is there some kind of big crazy SUV out now that looks kind of like the cybertruck? I saw something on the road the other day that looked like a futuristic/speed racer vehicle. It was going the other way and I couldn't get a picture.
|
If it resembled a truck at all I’d order one today.

Quote:
14k towing, 77,000 for a fully loaded beast doesn’t scare me away. Just wish it was more practical in its day to day design. |
Looks like a vehicle from the movie Megaforce. The 1982 vision of the future.
|
got my deposit in!

IT'S A UNICORN!!!!!

I read a book back in high school called Damnation Alley. I don't remember anything about the book, but I think it was one of those 'drive across an apocalyptic world' books. Apparently it was a movie at some point as well.
This truck reminds me of the vehicle a little bit, which is not a bad thing. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/cc...75620f859b.jpg |
I have seen this before now where is the bitch with 3 titties

It looks like a rejected vehicle design from Halo.

In.
|
As with most things Tesla, I'm more excited about what this will force OTHER companies to do in reaction than I am about the Tesla truck itself. Hopefully someone else out there will be able to get close to their specs and price while bringing it at least a LITTLE closer to a traditional design.
