The problem with other companies concepts is that they're not productionaly feasible.

naff · « **Reply #121 on:** November 23, 2019, 06:46:18 PM »

they also look like any industrial design programmes end of year student concepts.

the truck, while possibly massively flawed, is a genuinely surprising concept.

agrajag · « **Reply #122 on:** November 23, 2019, 06:55:12 PM »

you guys know the wedge shape has been used since the late 70's and all through the 80's? Look up any exotic Italian or British car from that era. It's an Aston Martin Lagonda with a suspension kit. Also funny how people twist themselves into pretzels to justify fanboying over this. I've heard the "it's industrial design" as a pro-cybertruck argument, from a car designer.

It's fine to like it, but don't sit here coming up with some pretentipus b.s. You're just gay for Musk.

I'm nt a musk fan by any means. I just strongly disagree with your assertions.

truck resembles soviet era brutalist architecture and pragmatism more than tron style futurism to me. something karel prager would be happy driving

It's more of a triangle than a wedge, let's be real.

Nintex · « **Reply #127 on:** November 23, 2019, 08:49:30 PM »

I applaud Musk for taking such a bold move. The Tesla was bold but it was already being copied by other auto makers.
This looks entirely different from what you'd expect a truck or even Tesla product to look like. It reminds me of the Wii in that sense.
Weird name, weird look, but because it was vastly different it appeals to a much larger audience when all is said and done.

I still can't get over that logo.

I seriously can't believe he just took the logo, thin-brushed it and then struck out "Punk" to put in "Truck" instead.

OnlyRegret · « **Reply #135 on:** November 24, 2019, 02:17:14 PM »

I had the WTF reaction at first, but now it is growing on me a bit.
I'd never consider a normal truck but a not-truck truck... Maybe.

Even the title is misleading- it should be "I put down $100 to reserve a spot to buy a Tesla Cybertruck that is fully-refundable".

That is a 2D sprite though. And looks more rounded than the actual truck.

It really does look like early 3D modelling. That is the first thing I thought. Something like Hard Drivin would be more fitting.

Cyber truck is an interesting design, but I don’t think it will ever be built exactly like the concept for the cost they are quoting. I don’t know that it’s possible at all, but i definitely don’t think Tesla can do it.

The material they are using is too hard to be stamped. Well, all modern mass market car bodies are stamped. So I guess that means they have to forge the metal... ever compare the price of a forged knife to a stamped knife? It’s an order of magnitude difference. Doing this for a whole car? Seems unlikely.

An electric truck would suck fucking ass for towing or hauling, because any decent sized load would tank the fucking range.

This is true of a gas truck too, but a gas truck takes 10 minutes to fully refuel, not 2 hours.

agrajag · « **Reply #156 on:** December 09, 2019, 12:17:41 AM »

funny you should say that, I just saw the engineering explained video yesterday where the guy explains about the range when towing issue with electric vehicles yesterday

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #157 on:** December 09, 2019, 12:14:51 PM »

Be real, no one is using that thing to tow stuff. They are using it to park in Nobu or drive on weekends around town to get attention.

It's like killing a sports car because of it's lack of trunk space.

agrajag · « **Reply #158 on:** December 09, 2019, 12:16:42 PM »

I don't think most people realize how gargantuan this thing is either. The valets at Nobu are going to have a hell of a time parking that thing. It's larger than a Suburban.
