What's Elon been smoking to come up with this design that looks like a schoolboys drawing of truck from a 80's cheap Sci-Fi film. 😮

Franz von Holzhausen was probably busy putting finishing touches to the Model Y when this was on the drawing board. 

 

At least they didn't put a sports car name on an uninspiring bland SUV. ;)

The launch didn't exactly go to plan Tesla's new Cybertruck smashed during demo

 

I'm not convinced that was a surprise to Tesla or Musk. It turned out to be quite a stark backdrop to his talk and has put it all over the non-car press today.

There's no way that hasn't been tested to death before the reveal. And afterwards, they were giving rides to 'influencers' 🤮 and Youtubers and both windows had already been replaced .

 

I hope those things never make it across the Atlantic, our roads and parking spaces are crammed enough as it is.

Well, design-wise, the aesthetics are a step in the right direction... only one, mind. It's a bit like a blank canvas, needing more features, detail and internal 80s flashy lights and stuff.

It needs a lot more work before I'd buy it, but this is the frst Tesla by which I'm not wholly repulsed...

 

I might eventually consider buying a much-improved one if it meets the above criteria, and if Elon were to suddenly stop being a complete bellend.

 

Oh, and yes, improvements include fixing the glass!! :D

Its one of those designs that is unusual enough that people will buy it just "to be different".

 

As to the glass breaking.... yeah, id say that may have been a bit of tongue in cheek pish taking of other grand reveal disasters, like Bill Gates getting BSOD errors during Windows demos etc...

Personally I think it was all a publicity stunt and the 'real' cybertruck will be revealed shortly...

 

Yes I expected the body panels to fall away to reveal the real truck underneath or something.

The Bollinger truck is also crazy expensive, so not really a contender in the mass market truck space in my opinion, much more a rich boy's play thing.

 

Perhaps that is a market Tesla is after with the Mad Max truck.

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? 😲
