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

[btfc]

“ Allegedly, production of the Tesla Cybertruck will begin before the end of the year. At least that’s what Elon Musk says, and you know you can always trust a Musk timeline. As more videos come out showing pre-production prototypes, though, including quite a few broken ones, it’s starting to look like Elon Musk was probably right when he said Tesla had dug its own grave with the Cybertruck. Take, for example, the Cybertruck prototype that showed up at a Malibu cars and coffee event over the weekend, as reported by InsideEVs.

The author, friend of Jalopnik Daniel Golson, was personally at the event and got an up-close look at the Cybertruck that was driven by Tesla designer Franz von Holzhausen. Based on what Golson saw, the matte-black-wrapped Cybertruck is either a long way from being production-ready, or it’s just going to go into production anyway regardless of all of its flaws. Odds are, it’s the latter. “

It looks like what a third-grader would draw in art class for "Cars of the Future."

You know, the same was said when square body pick ups were introduced. Then again when the ‘new look’ Dodge Ram appeared (and influenced designs afterwards). I think some of us have to just face the fact that we’re getting old, and our tastes may be a generational thing.

Lux,

That's being kind. I thought it looked horrendously awful from the moment I saw a photo of it. Think in terms of futuristic crap that puts appearance way ahead of utility and usability. If I was in the market for a truck of any kind be it ICE, hybrid or EV, it'd wouldn't be in consideration at all.

I’d be curious, in what way does this lack in terms of utility and usability, versus a conventionally styled pick up truck?

“ in what way does this lack in terms of utility and usability “

You can’t actually buy one?
