ALL CyberTruck discussion

This conforms to the teaser image and Elon's statement that the teaser is the front of the truck.

And it is not absurdly ugly,weird, or un aerodynamic.

First mockup I've seen that hits on what I am expecting. This one gets the slope of the windshield right IMHO, and comes up with a door and body style that fits with overall Tesla design language. I would imagine some Semi-style headlights under the "light band."

I like the look.
At one point Elon said it would seat 6. Assuming dual row benches, the door setup will need to be a little different. Seems like driver seat would be cut off by hinge pillar.
Turning radius will be big with the rear tires that far back, but departure angle will be good.
Add a power tapered cover for the bed (doubles as a wind deflector when towing) and you have the APC look...

or un aerodynamic.

Wheels/tires are very un aerodynamic. That's the only part of that render that I think is off. The rest looks like it might end up being close.

OK so he got the windshield right, but that tail end serves zero purpose with some molded crap at the bottom.

Thought it was a step?

That is not a fundamental part of the design. Just accessories.

Anyone can have an off-road wheel package inside their garage and an on-road wheel package on the truck for everyday use.

Of course there will be numnutz that will use the off-road wheel package for everyday highway use.

I think the real truck will debut with 4 doors.

And the 2 door many never see production.

Do you think suicide or sedan rear door?
If they hated themselves, they could go single falcon .

Sedan.

No scarring the rednecks.

Or fleet managers.

They have those and city trucks, Not Bladerunners

....and they'll complain about having less range than advertised.

As long as it doesn’t have the Greta Thunberg crazy eyes like the Rivian I would buy this with the right specs.

I can barely go 200 miles in my FJ with all the crap I have on it and the abysmally small gas tank (19 gallons).

Can we use Appalachian American or Hill William please. Where does my gun rack go?

Or fleet managers.

I don't see how the reveal event couldn't include some of the mockups that have been tossed around for months. It'd be fun.

Suicide doors have been done on extended (not crew) cabs, though:

(current generation)

(two generations old)

Own that. Would be great if the front passenger seat were removable/ fold flat for dry cargo.

I'm curious what the interior is going to look like. If it will embrace the same setup as the Model 3/Y (seems likely?), S/X (seems less likely), or debut a new control layout. It seems to me that the unique use-cases of a pickup might call for a different control layout, but I don't really have a picture in my mind of what that would be.
