Well, he said it was going to be different.



Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive.

Where do you put the toolbox, since the bed wall is so slanted? What if you need to grab something that's up at the front of the bed? In a regular truck you can just reach over - good luck with that with the Cybertruck. Feeding cows in the winter - usually one guy drives and the other sits on the bedwall and chucks the hay every 40 yards or so. Can't do that on the slanted bedwall, especially if it's wet and icy. You sideload? Gonna be a PITA. Also, why can't you have a flat roof? Sometimes it's nice to just stick your lemonade/drink up there while your digging post holes or tightening fence lines.

I do like the high clearance and no drive train though. Doing irrigation work in Utah can be hell on a normal ICE drive train when you're crossing irrigation ditches and banging your drive train on a rock all the time.

Function before form, Elon!
Yeah this is my problem with the damn thing. Its obvious Elon didn't gather any input from people who use pickup trucks for the intended purpose maybe his next generation will get it right. Does look like it would make one hell of a lunar rover though.

I guess the question is whether they can eventually adapt this to be more functional. As I think about it, this thing seems more suited to people who are otherwise considering a Range Rover than people who are considering a work truck. We have just assumed this would target the latter, but it's not really that kind of "truck."

Then it's not a truck, it's an SUV.

It's a truck for people who don't actually want or use a truck.

Which IMO, is really ****ing bad marketing.

Now people will only talk about what it isn't instead of what it is. Which is what we're doing right now. Had they just pegged it as a Truck/SUV hybrid or an SUV i don't think there'd be as much scrutiny.

Wow. That thing is not a pick-up.

I don't think Elon knows anything about the pick-up market and the people that buy them.

Plus, most of the accessories people want such as tool boxes, etc. aren't going to fit in that thing.

And the top of the line variant, starting at $69,900, will go more than 500 miles between charges, hit 60 mph in under 60 seconds, tow up to 14,000 pounds, and start production in late 2022.

Maybe that's not what the actual product will look like, so I'll reserve my final judgement on that thing.

If it can pull my 5th wheel camper with a loaded trailer or boat behind it and recharge as quick as I can fill up. Then it would be worth looking into.

Needs to produce ho and torque specs of a modified 6.7 Cummins diesel. To be considered valid.

Otherwise it’s a skinny jeans, white sun glasses tribal ban tattoo dbag truck.

Maybe you didn’t get a good look because the stealth technology is well done. Probably lucky you saw it at all.
