Cyber truck

[loneryder]

A Tesla Cyber Truck passed me today. It was going too fast for me to get a picture. Northwest Virginia. That thing is uglier in person than in the pictures.

Many know that the Costco Citi Visa gives a 4% rebate on fuel purchases but I didn’t realize that it also gives 4% on EV charging.

Good friend just took delivery of his...hope to have a road report soon. Not my taste, but interesting vehicle.

Honestly I think it looks awful in pictures but cool in real life.

I saw the first one for me on the L.I.E. yesterday. Ugly as sin and appeared to be slapped together with little to no care. A hard pass for me. My wife and SIL also thought it looked horrible and poorly made too. Opinions vary, if a person likes it and has the $$, they should go for it.

Saw another on I-10 yesterday - It had no rust - but looked ready for primer, camouflage paint, and a 50 caliber machine gun in the back

They remind me of 70's dystopian sci-fi movies, maybe that is why I kind of like them. Something I could imagine the Corporation giving Jonathan in Rollerball

The CT really lends itself to customization. That, I think, is among its best features, (of many)
I give Elon massive credit for taking the risk of the 4680 cell, steer by wire, rear wheel steering, yoke steering wheel, elimination of a thousand knobs and on and on.

For those who don't know, the battery pack of the CT has a lot more room for additional cells. Possibly nearly double the kWh capacity.

I like it but it's just too large.

Some shark teeth on the front??

There are 3 in my town. The first time I saw one I thought it was a kit car. "That can't be real" they are big and it seems like it attracts Corvette type guys judging by the hair (or lack of)

Hey now...I have a full head of hair, and would NEVER buy a cyber truck - YUCK!

There are quite a few cyber trucks around here. Seem to mainly be driven by geeky looking bro-dads who probably would be shunned if they drove the diesel pickup they really wanted.

Recently many of the good looking moms have moved from Tesla and Volvo XC90 to these:

With Land Rovers, Odysseys, and Acura MDX mixed in as well.

I told my wife to not get any ideas…

Yep I see the Lamborghini SUV around too. I even saw one at Walmart which was kind of funny. Also saw a light blue one which really makes them incognito if you're into that. Looks like any old CUV/SUV until you look closely. Yesterday I spotted an Aston Martin Suv. Not many of those around

The styling is odd but I do like some of the features like the drive by wire, and the ability to close the rear bed for better aerodynamics. The real problem is the cost. If they had them available in numbers at the $40K price that was promised at one time, I'm sure they'd sell a lot of them. Not enough to make Ford worried, but I'm sure they could sell as many of them as Nissan does Titans (lower 5 digit range).

At $100K+ it is a specialty lifestyle item for rich people to flex on.

I like it but it's just too large.

It’s no bigger than any other full size truck.

 

[2strokeNorthstar]

It’s no bigger than any other full size truck.

It's the same size as a Ford Raptor. That's pretty big

Which is an F150. The most common vehicle on the road with a few inch wider track.

Pretty obvious to most here but I don’t like trucks anyway. It’s just as ridiculous as the rest of them though.

The CT is vastly more ridiculous than all of them combined could ever be.

There's a striking pale blue one in our town....most conspicuous!
I've seen a few in Manhattan.
