Cybertruck

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Let’s be honest…these things are ridiculous.

I’ve seen quite a few recently and every one of them looks 10 years old. The stainless steel looks like shit. A $100k vehicle.

Convince me otherwise.

I don't really have an opinion either way on the Cyber Truck, but why do you think they look 10 years old? To me they just look...weird lol.

I shouldve clarified - the finish looks old and worn. Uneven, discolored, just junky.

Gotcha, yeah there's a lot out there about the quality issues with the truck.

I like the way it looks, but it looks like how I draw all cars in Paint.

I read the owners manual on washing it and water and it was multiple pages long full of dos and don’ts

That's the genius behind selling Cybertrucks to MAGAs.

MAGAs Don't Read.

Im with OP, they don't so anything for me. Sure the performance is cool. Styling is different, but I don't think terribly attractive, the lines, meh. I've only been shot at once in my car decades ago, so paying extra for bulletproof windows isn't terribly appealing. Esp at that price point.

Think it was personally designed by Elon. While Spectrumming out on the engineers.

Neighbor has one with black wrap on it. Has made comments about the bed being less functional than traditional truck beds. The angled sides, and the offset from the side, make loading and unloading near the cab difficult.

Damn...that'd suck to have to crawl up into the bed anytime you want to load/unload something from just behind the cab. Someone didn't do any "market research" on how ppl typically use truck beds...

I’ve seen a few in person. They look even worse than in photos. The imperfections in the stainless sheet metal stick out like a sore thumb. Don’t see how this truck won’t be viewed as a colossal mistake by Tesla a few years down the road.

I live right by the factory, there are several rows of them out there brand new ready to ship. they are garbage. friend of mine worked there, said the body panels don't line up well and they are junk

They don’t. And it is amplified by the attempt for a clean stainless look. Also the panels aren’t completely flat, they have sort of slightly bent imperfections, also amplified by the clean stainless look. Looks like total ass. I feel bad for anybody who spent a significant portion of their wealth on a Cybertruck.

my friend who worked there said the cars he saw at the time, were such junk, and he used to work for honda, so he knows quality. he said honda would never have let them leave the factory. yet tesla sells them as a finsihed product. and let's them go on down the road.

Somebody better let PF know that the 3MuskH8teers have shown up in this thread...

the people I see here in austin driving the cars look like hipster environmentalists worried about making it to Starbuck's before the battery dies.

Hipster environmentalists buy a 80-100k vehicle? Damn basket weaving and selling beadwork sure has become prosperous.

I can only imagine the goofy lines in the design forced a lot of compromises.

To be able to clean sheet redesign some ‘truck’ aspects, but then confine yourself to that shape. Meh.

Had an engineering friend that was a Kettering grad and had worked her way up in GM. Left during the Obama bailout because they wouldn’t renew her bonus laden contract. She went to Trane, then Honda. She told me that Honda’s defect acceptance was several decimal places to the right from GM.

I had this same discussion when I was ordering a new stove this past week. With a 5 burner flat top where you have a large-M-small burner on the front left, it makes it almost impossible to use the back burner for anything but the smallest pots when you use a large up front. Just a bad design. And the manuf kind of said "screw you consumer......"

There is a great book about this, The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman.

How many times does something like this need to happen before people stop believing in any “smart” technology Elon tries to sell them:

No, I won't convince you that a vehicle that looks like it was designed with CAD software from 1991 is actually good.

Is this actually true or is this just an exaggeration to make fun of it?

You have to use "Car Wash Mode" or you void the warranty.

In contrast, you apparently can just "drive around in heavy rain" w/o Car Wash Mode on....

Does this go here?
