Saw a Cybertruck charging at Firebaugh yesterday. First time seeing one up close in person. Pretty amazing and it really draws a crowd. Can’t wait to get one!

Looks…smaller than I imagined for a truck.
Not very ‘tough’ looking…
Mixed feelings on it

Don‘t see the crowd. Did they show up later?
Who’s the guy peeing on the charger stand?

Last night at a NYE party, I spoke with someone who joined his son (a Model 3 owner) that morning at the Albuquerque supercharger on Louisiana Blvd and parked next to a Cybertruck! He had no pictures, but said that all the Tesla owners at the SC were swarming all over the CT! I would have liked to see a pic of a 3 next to the CT!
That was my initial impression. I’ve watched virtually every video and have seen one drive by in the distance in Lake Tahoe, but up close, it was much smaller than I imagined. Shorter than I envisioned and not as long.
I think that was the driver. He was just sort of orbiting the truck, trying to look intimidating. And yeah, I got there just as it pulled up. The crowd followed later, LOL!

Right? That’s my concern as initially I was looking for it to be at least aggressive and meaty looking to go along with its specs. Not interested in a truck which looks like an an SUV with a bed. No offence to CT lovers!
Turns out it’s made for the masses and non traditional truck drivers …or as a tester for future Mars vehicle.
You might cover up that plate, or just drop that photo all together? As a courtesy to the owner? Even though it’s most like OEM
It’s a Manufacturer plate so I didn’t think it would matter much.
These are great pictures thanks! For a minute when I first looked at the second picture I thought it looked like the owner had installed some kind of solar panels all over it lol now that would be kind of awesome, to have a solar-powered electric vehicle
Really? the thing looks like a steel box with sharp edges. Not sure what you would consider "tough looking" lol.
Maybe a row of spikes all around it? I think it looks pretty tough though. Somewhat space age but that kind of fits. I like it allot, and I would get one if it was more available and more affordable but interested in watching the evolution of it. I hope more people post on here that own them and their personal experiences with the cybertruck

I meant the overall stature. Lower than imagined. When I think ‘tough’, I’m in my model Y and a truck pulls up next to me and I’m easily a foot to 18” lower in seating.
The truck behind me in my rear view looks like it could ash through the soft little plastic bumper and run me over.
A dodge Ram, F150 achieves this daily.
I know this is not teslas goal nor mass market.
The silver box great. Maybe just thought it would look ‘meaner’ that’s all. Not so…refined for masses.
Yeah, that front camera is going to be extremely important all around, especially with a vision-only system. :/
CyberTrucks were intentionally made that size, to allow them to fit into more garages. Many truck buyers purchase a large, tough looking truck, only to find it will not fit into their garages.
CyberTruck is small as possible, while still being able to carry a 4X8 sheet of plywood in the bed.
People often make their ICE trucks agressive looking by installing winches, aftermarket bumpers and push bars, large tires with heavy lugs, toneau covers, side steps, wheel arches, accessory lighting, decals etc.

Okay this may be a stupid question but in my MY if I have a front camera
Okay I don't know if this is a dumb question but in my MY when I look at the camera view there is only the two sides and the rear. I don't seem to have a front camera at least that I can see on my screen. Why wouldn't I be able to see my cameras view from the front? This is especially helpful when parking or in other close quarters
Cybertruck has an additional front camera. I have a 2020 Might as well, and that front camera is lodged in the housing in front of my rearview mirror. Cybertruck has an additional one in front of the bumper. That’s the one I’m hoping people will use to spot objects in front of the car that they can’t see due to the truck’s configuration:
Yes thanks. I would love one of those on my 2023 MY, especially to help in tight parking spaces since my model does not have USS. I really preferred parking in my old Hyundai which had a top-down realistic view. I was surprised that Tesla is lagging behind Hyundai in this capability

I love it! Thanks, and the solar panels make it even better! 
I hope to see these at all Supercharger sites, where possible.
