So if someone sledgehammers your door and it leaves zero damage is is a crime?

Keying Cybertruck leads to truck owner being arrested for damaging key. [Tesla stock drops]

I'm afraid the weird looks detract from people appreciating the awesome functionality. ...

People who actually appreciate functionality don't care what you think looks good. Nor do they care what Wall St/auto industry/advertisers
think looks ugly. You don't like the looks, please don't buy one.

Excatly, I was trying to describe the truck to a co-worker today and used the same analogy.

As far as radar goes I'll have my nephew who is a deputy sheriff put the radar on it when I put one in the driveway.

The flat grill at the front is an easy target for the radar signal.

Like it or hate it, can be pretty sure it's going to alienate a good portion of the truck buying community.


No back window? How many people are taught to look over their shoulder. And I may never get used to a handlebar for a steering wheel, but hey, opinions are just opinions

It has back window. However the view of the back window is covered when the bed cover is pulled down. I'm not sure the handle bar steering wheel will be in production version.

I didn't notice any of the cameras either. That'll definitely change the look along with side mirrors

Yes. I saw cameras from Like Tesla youtuper clip. I just don't see where are sona sensors.

The action is a crime but that person won't have to pay for the damage bc there is no damage

I wonder how many people are going to throw ball bearings at your windows or sledge hammer your door just to test it out. Better have sentry mode running 24/7 on that thing.

Tesla cars have not get much attention from the street. Even the Model X, people only see the difference when the wing doors open, otherwise it's just the same like any other. My neighbor across the street didn't notice my P3D until 6 months later. The next door one asked me about it a year later. The rest are careless. This Cybertruck will get everyone attention. Good or bad, the mission to get people pay attention to EV is accomplished still.

No, but people will wrap or partially wrap to do mods. I can see a future complaint not unlike the Model 3's center console about finger/hand prints all over. Given how meticulous people are with keeping their cars shiny and new, just see it happening. It's not a polished SS but more a matte but having watched the live test rides you clearly can see a reflection in the material.

I'll probably make all my passengers wear white gloves.

I wonder what a talented artist could do with those sheets of stainless as canvas.

I don't thing it is vertical in the nose. It looks tilted down about 15 degrees or so. So any radiation will hit and be reflected down into the pavement. And then there are radar absorbing paints for sale on the interwebs.

Well, only if you measure performance by speed. the reality for working trucks is that performance is measured by towing capacity and payload. In this arena the cybertruck is just average if the intention is to best the F150 class, however, it is mediocre for the 250, and not even in the 350 class.

It does not look it is intended to complete in the F-250 or 350 arena. Does Ford even have plans for EV F-250 or EV F-350?

Just a Sam's Club bottle of Stainless Steel Polish, no problem. Bugs will slide right off.

It's actually a multi-layer paint coat system. NOT cheap by any means and a thrill to apply. ( Retired military structural aircraft mechanic)

I wonder what a talented artist could do with those sheets of stainless as canvas.

I am thinking of a "circular swirl " texture, multiple passes with a scotch-bright abrasive pad with a dual action (DA) air sanding tool, the spots are touching and slightly overlapping, often used on aluminum to give it a flat texture but with some personality.

I'm the kind of guy who parks away from the door denting crowd.
Will this truck save me those long walks from the edge of the parking lot?

I too currently own 2 Teslas (S & X). I also had a 3P. However, I think the Cybertruck looks good and the specs are great! I ordered one and will use it in my business.

I feel that many smart business owners including those who own construction and surveyor companies, will buy fleets of these attention getting vehicles...then people will slowly associate these vehicles with mainstream practicality and utilitarian value.
Just my opinion. Time will tell.
Good luck with your business and truck.

Heavily Etched SS can neither be painted nor wrapped. It will shed off. Too much air will be caught under the wrap, it will bubble on hot summer days.
