Tesla Cybertruck

Anyone in on the Cybertruck?
love my G but also reservation #3800 for a trimotor.
I know apples and oranges, but not much in the same category as a G...

I'd rather have a Nikola Badger if it actually gets produced. I can't stand the styling of the Tesla truck. Looks ridiculous to me.

One of my good friends put a deposit in. Hope he gets it so I can check it out in person. Such a crazy design.

Fugly to me, since you asked of course since to each their own. It has not style whatsoever and that is criterion #1 for me.

Forgot what number my reservation is for the Tri-motor but for $100, why not get on the list?

Also of interest is the new Hummer. Will get on that list as well.

It’s easy to see where the G is going in the immediate future with the release of the new S-class. We can expect a “G-560” with hybridized 4.0 BiTurbo and the new MBUX 2 and 3-D display

Even the new G63 wont have the 1000hp of the electric trucks but it will have all the SOUND

Also on the Tesla Cybertruck list. However, I'm starting to think the all-electric F-150 that the Ford CEO touted yesterday as the "...most powerful F-150..." may be a better choice. I figure either one of these trucks are a good 3+ years out, so I want to keep my buying options open.

I'd take the electric F-150 any day of the week over the Tesla truck: https://fordauthority.com/2020/09/fo...lectric-f-150/

I certainly haven’t made my mind up as of yet, as neither one of these 2 trucks are on the market. While I do like aspects of the electric F-150 (mostly that I can get it serviced at any Ford dealer), the electric F-150 is also a little bit of a meh to me. There are a bazillion F-150’s on the road, so nothing too special, other than being electric, of course. OTOH, the Cybertruck looks really badass. But, the Cybertruck seems to be a ‘love it, or hate it’ thing.

If you must get an appliance on wheels, Rivian is the way to go

Never heard of Rivian before ... the pickup looks good.

I don’t like the look of the Tesla truck but I’m looking forward to seeing it in real life. I often dislike cars at marketing stage but go onto love them when they are released I start seeing them out and about.

I agree at first sight, I thought the Cybertruck looked just a bit odd. But, it has really grown on me since then, and now I love it! Reminds me of an H1 humvee. I think it is a 'love it, or hate it' thing.

Volt
Electric vehicles, especially a truck when used like a truck, are impractical. I'd rather have the Ford F350 with the big block 7.3L V8 and the 10 speed trans.

I thought it was probably a long shot, but if it happens it will be kinda cool. Not holding my breath though...

I still wouldn't venture out into the wilderness with one but there's no debating that when it comes to performance, EV whoops ICE butt every time:

Cybertruck needs Predator's Cloaking Device for Stealth Mode. Would just display wheels and Laser DRLs...
