Don't want to sound too hyperbolic, but it is one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen.
Tesla folks are gonna be into Tesla products.
For people who actually want something that looks like a truck, you'd have to expect Rivian to be much higher on their list now.
Base Rivian | Base Tesla | Mid Tesla | Max Tesla | |
Price | 69,900 | 39,900 | 49,900 | 69,900 |
Range | 230 miles | 250+ miles | 300+ miles | 500+ miles |
Seats | 5 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
Charging | 160 KW | 250 KW | 250 KW | 250 KW |
Bed Size | 4.6 feet | 6.5 feet | 6.5 feet | 6.5 feet |
Towing Capacity | 11,000 lbs | 7,500 lbs | 10,000 lbs | 14,000 lbs |
It's hideous. It looks like the pine car derby entry of the Boy Scout kid from your pack with the alcoholic dad so he had to make it himself the night before with a rusty hacksaw he found in the garage and the one can of spray paint his older brother hadn't huffed yet. It looks like Tesla's answer to the Pontiac Aztek. What the fuck are they thinking? Is Musk punking his company's fan base? Is he trying to prove they will defend and buy anything they do? Because that is one fucking ugly car-truck. I was really intrigued by their truck idea, for no other reason than the benefits to towing an electric motor should have- but i can't buy that.Unbreakable glass blunder aside, what do you guys think of the Tesla truck design?

146,000 dipshits out there, I guess.
It is quite capable, but, it looks like a door stop.
What happened in the design phase?
People afraid to tell Elon no?
Some are speculating that they had to have all these straight lines to reduce production cost so it's more affordable.
I think the basic side profile could have made for a real cool truck if they were able to round everything off so every other profiles weren't so angular
The bed cover is actually a really cool design feature.
I also saw some concerns about crumple zones and how strong the roof will be in a rollover.
Model S roof is so strong it broke the testing machine. I'm sure the Cybertruck roof is at least as strong as that.
And yes, it's becoming clear that the design helped them slash production costs. And their SpaceX stainless steel alloy both increases strength and cut costs since they don't have to paint it to make it last.
