Chrisgb Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I questioned Tesla's materials science back when it was first shown to the public, with its "Armor Glass." The only thing bullet proof is Elon's hubris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew L Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) I saw my first one on the road the other day. They are hideous in person even more so than seeing in pictures. I can't see how they are very practical as a truck due to the weird shape. Edited April 9 by Andrew L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Pretty much everything most of us said about this 3 yrs ago has come to fruition. Not a good truck. Not a great EV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I think it’s about time for Musk to sell the car business and be a battery system supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it a step further, we've seen the arrival of highly flexible EV platforms that can be used for virtually any type of vehicle, with a ton of different looking top hats. Tesla should develop such a platform, and sell it to startups, and established players who are far behind in the EV race. With their reputation, and competitive tech, I could see them finding a lot of success in selling to smaller brands. Brands buying Tesla's highly flexible platform rather than developing their own.

I feel like the rest of the Tesla lineup is fine but the CT is really something out of left field. I can't imagine it being a strong seller, maybe first year only due to excitement but after that I feel like sales will crash pretty hard after people realize it sucks at being a truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give it a year. Musk’s ego won’t let him cancel it before then no matter how bad it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other alternative he has is to prioritise building the higher series versions, probably already doing that… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oac98 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The Cybertruck is a hideous, overhyped, overpriced piece of garbage! If Ford made a truck like that Ford would get raked over the coals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on all the recent reports from customers that took delivery of a CyberTruck, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes Tesla to cut their losses and drop it so they can address other priorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapeman Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Vacationing in Arizona this week I saw my first one as I was driving directly behind it goi g into a mall parking lot. I had no clue what it was till it turned and I saw its profile. That “Thing” is worse than the Aztec ever was. Made the Aztec look like a beauty queen. I waited for it to park and the driver leave to take a closer look. How was it ever allowed to happen. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, Musk’s ego - which is the only reason the thing ever made it past the prototype stage to begin with - will keep it around at least a year, maybe more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even worse when you consider what Tesla's head of design was putting out earlier in his career. From working at Mazda, the best Japanese car brand for design by far, to putting out a triangle. Talk about a downgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
