If I remember correctly I think Sergio O. was pictured driving one of these.

They were kit cars originally made in Florida, based off Mustangs. Sergio's was combustible.

Sergio had a high pitch voice. Possibly gay.

Will any of you be in the market for a Cybertruck?

No.

This truck isn't winning any beauty pageants. It's more likely to snag a role as the villain's getaway vehicle in a dystopian blockbuster, perhaps Mad Max meets Demolition Man.

Plus, for $60K, it's a no for me dawg.

They never seem to show the cargo area which is what most truck owners are concerned about (except those who just want to drive around suburbia in a truck).

Aesthetics of a George Foreman Grill.

Thing can haul ass off the line, but … what else?

This rushing to electrics is gonna be the regular peoples’s downfall, I’m telling you. Between battery shortcomings and the dramatic lack of charging infrastructure, this is going to be a disaster.

And what of the charging times?

Undercarriage isn’t much better  :-X



dummy,,, the spindle/upright moves with the wheel/tire as it is attached firm to the wheel bearing which is attached to the wheel itself.

only would be an issue if you went up in wheel rolling diameter, which is not a good thing to do anyways as it will throw off speedo/trip-meter and other things

Wonder what's behind that steel? You and I both know that gauge steel isn't stopping those rounds.

it's 1.8mm, 301 cold rolled stainless steel, material which should also be 50% higher tensile strength than regular cold rolled steel

so its not your average 0.6mm regular car door panel, but 3x thicker, and 50% stronger

Looks like one of mine crappy steel sheet jobs. Good news is that anyone without skills can repair a door panel, without making it uglier..

All that steel, plus the batteries, that thing must weight a lot.

Fuck the "Truck"

Reminds me of the old Volkswagon "The Thing" but it`s even fuglier.

Looks like shit in person. I will not be purchasing it which is a shame since I am a former sheet metal worker.

it does

idk why anyone would want a bulletproof car though. If you're wealthy enough to afford it you wouldn't live in a area where you acually could need it  :D

And what of the charging times?

I also wonder about how much cumulative time loss the charging times will create. If California goes all electric in a few years, has anyone run the numbers on this? I’m not against electric if it’s proven to be a better way (not for the environment because that is political not scientific). I love the acceleration and speed - the FW t that the damn thing is bullet proof. But a few things I haven’t heard anyone address.
- as said above Charging Time - won’t this cause massive gridlock if millions of Californians are waiting hours to charge?
- what about the fact that they already have rolling blackouts at times? Won’t have tens of millions of vehicles using hundreds of millions of charging hours be an enormous problem? 
- what about transportation? California is a major hub for goods transported all over the country. If no combustion engine trucks are running in California and EVEN IF California solves the above issues - they trucks don’t all STAY in California… lol seems like the beginnings of a gigantic cluster fck!

time loss?

I only charge my EV at night when I'm asleep. No loss.

the powergrid probably needs upgrading if everyone goes EV, sure. But it doesn't happen over night. And the powergrid is ever increasing anyways because of population growth
