No not at all, just my musings that the truck market might be a place to do it. It is becoming apparent that Tesla will probably need to assist legacy automakers in some fashion rather than crushing them (and Elon has been open to doing this as of the last earnings call). Yes, there is a lot of pride at stake, but there is survival as well.
Important to remember that the Cybertruck will need to fit in most garages.
Elon has said a good design is when the car can look compact, but be spacious on the inside. I think the truck needs to look big but in reality not take up too much room.
Really interested in how this comes into form, I think we all are quite confused on what to actually expect come Thursday

So then it's a metaphor for the CYBRTRK- it's a truck with the unnecessary stuff chipped away (ICE).

Most important to remember is that the Cybertruck needs to make Elon really excited. He's clearly stated that probably not everyone will like it, and he doesn't care. Everyone freaking out about how it's going to miss this or that market seems to have forgotten who the CEO of this company is.
Me. And a few million other people. I might be far less inclined to do so if weather were not often a factor.
That looks fairly awesome.
Put me in the nervous camp though. Why stray so far..when the "mission" is to accelerate transition to EV's. If its too weird in the aesthetics category, transitional acceleration will not be maximized.
I worry they are making a similar mistake to the X. The X flat out should of come out with regular 4 doors first,...and not been delayed for 2 years or whatever it was. Then release the falcon-wing doors a couple years later, as an option. Why not go with more conventional truck, then release the other. Hoping I am wrong..and if it looks like the image below, I think things will be just fine for Tesla.

Clean examples are actually going up in value
Thanks to Breaking Bad??
The above truck has some interesting designs and the website is nice

This is my favorite rendition so far.
I imagine Tesla wanted to maximize internal room by aggressively slopeing up from the front like the Semi. Trucks have a huge front area for the ICE engines taking up most of that useable space. EV trucks, such as Rivian, unnecessarily keep this "tradition".
The cybertruck body could be used on other platforms such as a full sized SUV, van, or mini-bus. I can see the body being used as the Boring Company transit system vehicle for the Las Vegas convention center (currently under construction).

I know Elon was quoted as saying that the cybertruck would have lots of titanium; is it possible that the titanium is used to reinforce the crumple zone?

I can’t wait to see this thing. I’m ready for something different, that’s for sure.
It’s sure exciting to be speculating again with everybody. I remember the same “weirdmobile” worries being posted when Model 3 and Model X were revealed along with the ugly concepts leading up the event.
