Honestly I like it the way it is. Pure function over form.

Yup, it's NOT a sail, it's an integral part of the truck that also holds storage compartments. Also, that's where I'll position my shorter SWAT guys on tethers, 1 on each side. Come on...

Agreed it's definitely NOT a sail even if it looks like it. It's an integral part of the structure because they removed the "frame" (legacy truck design) from the bottom and the exo skeleton includes the "sail".

here we go - yet another photoshop challenge that misses the engineering point and treats the cybertruck bodywork like its a body on frame F150

Agree to disagree on if the sail is the only way to make the truck stiff enough.
I think they made it that way more for the aerodynamics and range.

Sooo, you want to eliminate the conversation, in the conversation you started?

If you're an engineer with these allegedly killer ideas, Tesla is actually hiring.......

riiiight
No the sail isn't the only way, but the other ways all look like an F150.
If you want traditional go get a Bollinger or a Rivian
This reminds me of all those threads when the Model 3 was revealed. Everyone photoshopped grills and standard looking front ends onto the Model 3,
I can't buy a car that looks that ugly, they said
It will never sell looking like that, they said
The finished version can't possibly look like that, they said
Sound familiar ?

Much of this look can be achieved with simple application of paint.

I remember this for Model 3 and the Model X.

I think this quote attribute to Henry Ford is appropriate.
“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

And these attributed to Steve Jobs.
"Let’s go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday."

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking."

Yes!

They look crazy, but not a single one of these 'dazzle' painted ships were sunk during the war.

I think the original design will eventually win me over. Maybe the first year I'll black vinyl the sail until I can take the training wheels off.
