I kind of agree on the styling but for me that’s the point. I like the boldness of the statement. Sometimes I’m into anti-style designs. I like the original Land Rover defender for example. Or the Volvo estates of the 80s and 90s. There was nothing at all pretty about them but they were function over form.I’d buy a Rivian R1T in the blink of an eye.
The cyber truck is a horrifyingly, ungodly ugly beast (although I admit it’s just my personal aesthetics at play here).
Moreover, it seems WAY too large for adoption in most European countries.
I think I’m going to have to look at the Rivian aren’t I?I cant see the cybertruck getting approval for UK/EU use as it is. Even if they reduce the size of it still I would be surprised if it passes pedestrian safety regulations.
Besides if and when they start producing it I believe the full production will be absorbed from the States for quite a while.
ps. Really ugly for me too![]()
And you must get the option that has the extending kitchenette. Otherwise, what's the point?I think I’m going to have to look at the Rivian aren’t I?
I mean, that's almost certainly a given. I'd never use it but that's not the point!And you must get the option that has the extending kitchenette. Otherwise, what's the point?
for day to day driving I agree, but there's plenty of instances where you do need a truck this big. We've got a= huge american pickup to pull a fully loaded race trailer. There's few vehicles that can accomodate the weight. I don't think people driving about in a focus are suddenly going to buy a cybertruck, but swapping out our 6.6L V8 Diesel Chevy with a cybertruck would definitely help the environmental cause.Even the Rivian is too big. People shouldn't really be buying things this big unless you have a very specific reason to, and even then it's hard to justify when there are more specific vehicles available. These US style 'trucks' are just big for the sake of being big, and do nothing to help the environmental cause. Quite the opposite.
I live and work on a farm, off-roading, towing cattle trailer, towing my ski boat. Requires something substantial, I currently use a Nissan navara. It's about the right size for the job, but I probably wouldn't want to go much bigger (or smaller for that matter).Even the Rivian is too big.

Exactly, so you would be the kind of person with a specific reason. It's the SUVs and pickups I see driving around suburbia that I think shouldn't be allowed.I live and work on a farm, off-roading, towing cattle trailer, towing my ski boat.

I decided in the end to buy a M3 and reduce my Navara usage to necessary only stuff. eg work and towing. Thought it would probably work out cheaper than having an electric truck. Think the required battery size will make it too expensive for me.
