At first it looked a little weird to me, but now I feel I would look super badass driving it on the road. I think down the road more people would want it when they see it, especially seeing it perform.

At first I also didn't like the Model 3 design. Looked really whimpy. That's until I saw them on the road and compared to other cars. Then I fell in love and bought a $68K Model 3 Performance. Now I feel it is really a thing of beauty. I think people felt similarly for the Model X and Model S at the beginning. Guess we'll have to see if Elon ends up being right again, since as we all know most announcements he makes at the beginning people think it's ridiculous.

No, they didn't. The model S is great design and still stands tall after 7 years. Tesla has yet to match it in their other vehicles, and this thing is just epic levels bad.

I think it's a victim of being announced way too soon.

We're still a couple years out from it being produced so I'm sure things will change between now, and then.

It won't look dramatically different, but with a few tweaks it won't be half as bad.

I'm curious why no interior shots.

They have one on their website: Cybertruck

Honestly, this is going to draw a lot of attention on the road as it looks like absolutely nothing out there. I think it looks really good from the front and back, but definitely not from the side. If it was a smooth curve at the top rather than a rigid point, it would look miles better. It’ll also look a little better with side-view mirrors, and possibly in a matte-black or dark green. And bulletproof-proof? That’s cool!

To me, if I were in the market for an electric truck, this is surprisingly affordable and blows the others out of the water in terms of specs. The 500+ mi, 0-60 in 2.9, 14,000 lb towing capacity version costs as much as the BASE Rivian R1T. They must really be making strides on battery production costs.

Agreed, but I think the bed cover fully retracting requires that flat panel to the point at the top.

I agree. I suspect there's a bit of anticipation with introduction not until 2022, specifically Maxwell tech, which is supposed to reduce production costs. I don't see those prices making sense with Tesla's current S/X/3 battery tech.

Oh I'm saying a lot of people didn't believe the Model S would be a great car and skeptics were everywhere. Model X I know some thought it looked terrible (like a giant pill or a pregnant belly) but later started really liking it.
