This truck design had better be a joke....

[OffBalance]

The more I look at it the more it kind of grows on me. It's too big though if you ask me. They should have started with a mid size pickup. I am not buying because I don't need a truck but I think it will sell.

They should flatten out the point on the roof though and get rid of those wheels. Also maybe offer a short bed because that thing looks crazy long.

This is a short bed. Real trucks have 8' beds.

@Knightshade The spec shows that all 3 trims have 980 motors.

I guess I'm not the typical car/truck buyer because I've never cared at all about how a vehicle looks, only about the utility it is able to provide me. I love that Tesla is bold and has no problem shaking things up and breaking the same old boring mold. Order placed.

Short beds outsell longbeds 5 to 1. Most people want a halfway reasonable length and more than one row of seating.

This will become a Hollywood glam truck, not for utility but image.

Embarrassingly, I ordered one even though I don't need a truck, I just like giving Tesla my money.

Model S check, Model 3 check, solar check, Powerwall 3*check.

OMFG!

Uglu, weird....I see first thought, initial feeling, when i saw it....
Seeing many reactions that state -initial feeling-.....however, we are far away from the moment it will be on the market and people watching this design actually will eventually soften the first opinion....people will accept this and embrace it. There is a long road to go 2022....imo this is a "go" on the long haul.....and besides...electric asks for low drag coefficient, so it will always have to have this more-or-less modern look....cannot get around it. It will most likely be embraced...

That is not a Chris Bangle design that's years ahead. This is just a pitiful design. The fanboys will buy, but not many others.

The tires have way too many curves. It's incomplete without triangular tires or maybe square tires .

Now now try to be honest. Where does your eye go to over and over in this pic?

Pitiful design? I don’t think that word means what you think it does.

This is what it should have been...

No. Where’s the bed? What’s special about it?

The mountains in the backgrounds.

Fugly doesn't even start to encompass the terribleness of this design.

Watching Test drives and different angles has helped the initial "ugly" side profile that I couldn't swallow. Maybe the reveal was just suffering from poor lighting. Still looks like there are a lot of refinements that will be made.

...

It will find it's market. Not gonna see one in typical suburban garages, except for perhaps one in every neighborhood for "that guy"

Couple of observations. I didn't really get it until I read the Motor Trend article and saw more pictures. The ugliness of the exterior is a direct result of the design - it's pure function over looks. As soon as I wrapped my head around that, I find that I want one. I'm a fan of function over looks.

I'm totally not "that guy", except maybe now I'm gonna be in a few years. Once you've wrapped your brain around buying a Model X, the tricked out version of this is cheap. And WAY more functional. Did I mention I'm partial to function?

 

[Joshker]

I still feel like we're being punked here... No way the 3rd most valuable automotive company would allow Rivian and Ford to beat them to market with a great truck. And the glass breaking, really? Can this all be for marketing/attention?

 

[Fernand]

Two hours post-reveal I was just getting my blood pressure under control when I saw the futuristic formica dash.

 

[computerchuck]

It’s beyond ugly. Tesla is capable of so much better

 

[Candleflame]

looks like a delorean. timeless design.

 

[SantaMonicaBum]

Great spec and price. Looks?? Idk....wtf.....I thought it was a joke too. Idk I will probably buy one. Make it prettier and I will definitely buy one. $50k for AWD, near bulletproof, yeah I probably buy one....

That’s what I’m sayin’. What’s so special about this vehicle where this is commiserate of Tesla’s product line. So far Tesla’s S3XY product line has been just that...SEXY. Each vehicle has been innovative, stylish, functional and appealing to the masses which is what you want in a company...a product you can sell to everyone and make money doing so.

However, I feel Elon’s leadership has missed the mark on this, and I’d be pissed if I were a serious share holder. Just my opinion, everyone has one, and wish everyone luck on their adventure of cybertruck ownership.
