‘ Even In Matte Black, The Tesla Cybertruck Still Looks Like Crap ‘

[Speedy]

Sort of like the Hummer.

All of Teslas other vehicles are so conservatively styled. I think tasteful would be a good description. So where that truck design came from is anyone's guess. It just doesn't fit in with the others. I'll never own another truck, so it makes no difference to me, but it is odd.

It's pretty apparent where the design came from.

I am not trilled about current design but the Big 3 trucks don't look anywhere as hideous as the CT.

Carnos,

Here are some key issues. Visibility is definitely a significant issue.

A. Side view visibility looks questionable.

b. The bottom of the rear window seems too high, further reducing visibility.

c. The roof slopes too much in the passenger section. Could impact comfort of passengers and definitely impacks rear view visibility.

d. The front end slopes too much. The Suzuki Sidekick had a similar problem. I drove one regularly and the sloping drop it made it difficult to gauge how close you were to other vehicles at traffic lights/stop signs and objects when parking.

e. The thickness of the sides of the flatbed appear to take away from usable flatbed space. I hope the bed is long enough and wide enough to hold at least one standard size pallet (48"x40”).

f. Not a fan of all the angles. Makes it look like a cheap snapped together toy that will be crushed by a kaiju rather than a vehicle that will handle the abuse a truck will sustain while on the job. Give the monster a pair of them and they become stylish roller skates.

Thanks Robert, I appreciate your in depth answers. We’re actually going to buy one, I’m curious to see how well (or not) it’ll work out.

Love that thing.

The Tech Bros driving Bro-dozers will love that thing.

The Truck-mommies who only haul kids and groceries to the school and mom will love that thing.

The short haul trailer pullers with a boat of jet ski will love that thing.

That is a majority of Pickup drivers in Texas.

I would guess it will have plenty of cameras.

Carnos,

Nearly forgot. There is a question of whether or not Tesla will provide a flat cap for the rear that allows cover to at least the height of the roof all the way back to the tailgate. Or, if not them, will they allow a 3rd party to make one that fits properly.

ROlando,

I'd not be interested in cameras as replacement for proper mirrors. Use in conjunction with proper mirrors, absolutely. Replacement? Nope.
