I meant the "toy truck" market. I don't see many in the construction or agricultural industries buying these for instance, the looks are too "marmite". However I see the appeal of virtually dent proof panels and no paint to scratch. 

 

Tesla claims 150000 pre-orders already, so WTF do I know? 😲

It's only 100 quid to preorder though so how many of those will actually buy. Plus the top spec Tri motor isn't available until late 2022. The world will have moved on by then! 

If Donald Trump wants 'Home Defence' or Military to have TESLA Trucks even if not suitable they will get them.

 

No idea if The Donald and Elon Musk have fallen out yet or if the US President is going to 'Make America Great' 

by buying American and making TESLA happy.

So tesla have 14.5Million quid to throw at putting proper lights on it, and fixing the glass...

 

A fiver change from £53,000 for the black one.

 

I cant wait to see police departments chase down and pit manoeuvre the bad guys in a sub three second 0-60 mph behemoth like the cybertruck. 😵

 

 

Just as well that crumple zones and pedestrian safety does that not matter in the US with light trucks, or heavy trucks or any vehicles.

They do in much of the rest of the world though.

 

 

 

 

 

the Cybertruck almost makes the Fiat Multipla look like an attractive option..............

That "thing" is coming to do an Europe tour from this weekend:

I'm going to check it out on Sunday. 

I wonder if they'll get told it doesn't meet pedpro requirements in the EU so can't be sold here...

It's waaaaaay too big. The pick-up bed seems like never ends.

It’s just fugly

Not seen any nigh-time pictures so wondered where are the headlights, or do the slit sidelights do the job?

Fuglier than a fugly thing in a place full of fugly things

A rapid unscheduled disassembly 🤷 

Apparently they have an issue with rims popping off.

 

 

 

That'll T-cut out!

He he...   Excellent...   I wonder what the 'profile' of the driver was but good on the police for pulling them.  I dread to think what damage a cybertruck would do to a pedestrian if it hit one...
