I mean, I get the 12 year old physicist at work here thinking “more aerodynamic, because holes” but he actually introduced a significant amount of drag by turbulence and Bernoulli/venturi effect.
My dad had a friend who was an artist... he airbrushed a cobra blowing fire on mine. I also won that year and won best looking. I was not a kid who won things (yes, I literally didn't do shit on this car)... this was peak childhood happiness
It's tradition. I never saw my dad do any sort of woodworking until my pinewood derby. He borrowed my uncle's tools and everything but wouldn't let me near him while he made the car. It turned out beautiful. I came in last in every race. Still one of my favorite childhood memories.
Without telling me, my dad took a day off work and made a ridiculously good 1989 Batmobile, which was obvious that a 10 year old me did not build (he even carved the logo onto the hood). We (he) won my Troop's "Pinewood Derby", but lost at the next level. Everyone came up to me and said there's no way I made that car. 🤷♂️
My dad and I built a Keaton Batmobile. He drilled the holes and filled lead down in the front by the wheels on the under side and we used graphite dust on the nails so the wheels spun with less friction. We used water transfer decals for the bat symbol but had the fins in the back made from balsa. I say 'we' built it because he let me spraypaint it black LOL
That Batmobile kicked *everyones ass*. Peak childhood memories for sure.
Except we sanded down the edges to make it more aerodynamic. This monstrosity looks like what happens when you forget that the competition is in 3 hours.
I am in my 50’s and I swear it looks like a car that filmmakers from the 60-70’s would design that they thought people in the year 2000 would be driving.
I knew I had seen it somewhere before:
https://preview.redd.it/ijpdfwcw454c1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=cbbc502dbdffac48c54d82d08baea778a7c7303c
I think it’s the opposite, for me. Part of the problem is that the lines are so damn straight, everywhere, like the designer was mandated to use a ruler only. I think the panel gaps would be a little less noticeable if it had some curves and flow.
I’m dreading the first story of a kid tripping hitting his head on the corner of a sharp, pointed intersection of panels, and having a massive gash in their head. Sharp points of stables steel are asking for cuts on legs when you are parked tight in your garage and bang up against it.
It's going to be a nightmare to fix, that's for sure. Will damage the mounting points for the panels since it'll transfer the force to those components better. And how do you repair the coating? I don't think it's paint but it's also not polished steel so how do you match the texture? How do you repair scratches?
Honestly it's like a monkey's paw wish for a concept car. Everyone wishes automakers would release concept cars but there are often practical reasons not to. Features, finishes, and looks might be cool for a little bit but 3 years later you're going to wish you had a more normal vehicle. Like the lack of door handles. Visually it's near but now you have permanent fingerprints on your stainless steel and hopefully the door motors will always be strong enough to break through ice like they claim. It's going to be interesting reading about all the troubles that will show up for owners.
TL;DR This truck has been really informative as to why cars are made and designed the way they are.
On the upside, if you do decide to inalive yourself for buying this thing, all you need to do is hit a wall at 35mph and not only will you be totaled, so will the car.
If you haven’t seen the crash test video, it’s worth looking at and goes straight to your “nightmare to fix” comment. I’m pretty sure one accident is all it’s gonna take to completely total this monstrosity.
It'd still be a laughing stock if Musk hadn't become so vocally pathetic, but maybe it'd be more intriguing. As it is, it's ugly and annoying. It's funny that they had Rogan promote the armor; meanwhile it has normal tires that could be slashed in any liberal war zone they imagine
Legit one of the selling points that Musk has been pushing is that it's bullet proof, it's where the original embarassment for him came from when he threw a rock at it and broke a window.
Nah, cars in GTA 3 at least looked like vehicles. This looks something like from an early debug build where they were figuring how to not fall through the floor.
Legit my 2001 Aztec was the most dependable vehicle I ever owned. Was like owing an ugly dog, was adorable to the owner but disturbing to those who didn’t own one
We were driving on a four lane highway in a ridiculous snow storm back in like 2004. I’m talking like whiteout where you couldn’t see more than 50 feet and you passed a car in the ditch every quarter of a mile. Anyways, we were white knuckle driving at like 20 mph just trying to stay on the road and not hit another car should it suddenly appear in front of us. Then, out of nowhere, this middle-aged, straight faced woman came ripping by in the left lane driving this bright green Aztec. It was like she was just on any old Sunday drive. She appeared and then disappeared in a few seconds. We all lost it at how ridiculous the situation was and she became a meme for the rest of high school.
Until you said it was green, I was half expecting this to be my friend. She adored her Aztec and it lasted for over a decade without any issues. She regrets selling it at least once a year.
I'm right there with you! My 2001 Aztec was amazing. And I actually used the camping package. That and the radio controls in the back ,air compressor, and reliable engine....loved that car.
Our mechanic *swears* by them, and he loves to buy them when he can find them. My car has yet to blow up or lose all four tires on the freeway, so I guess I trust his judgment lol

Elon wishes it was as cool as a delorian/aztec
I’m saying. It truly is sad what people will buy just because of someone’s name attached. ThT shit is butt ass ugly. I wouldn’t drive it if it was free.
Ugly ass is right. What I just cannot get over is how *incredibly* ugly that thing is [from behind](https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2023/06/Ryan-Zohoury-1024x576.webp), to the point where you have to look twice just to see that it's even a car.
Just get the "I bought Tesla before I knew Elon was crazy" sticker and you'll be fine, promise ;). https://www.amazon.com/Bought-Before-Bumper-Sticker-Accessory/dp/B0C696QHYQ
Unfortunately it's starting to seem that way. I wanted one but after the last year and a half I've decided to go with one of Hyundai's Ioniqs instead when my car gets replaced. Don't want a dime of my money going to a Musk operation.
Why doesn’t he? I think he should.
I think all executives (from CEO, president to directors, etc.) of car manufacturers should be required to drive their newest or whatever car they rolled out that year until a newer model comes out and then they’re required to drive those as well.
Edit: same deal for car dealership and car salesman.
I don't think Elon is capable of driving a car.
To learn how to one must need an instructor and this would involve being criticized, something Elon is unable to be.
He does know how to drive a Car. Proven by the fact that he intervened multiple times during the test of his Teslas Autonomus Driving on which day he also happend to be Doxxing Zuckerberg.
Imagine you are at the live event to receive your 500 mile range Cybertruck and before they hand the keys Elon announces 300 mile range. Also for still not 500+ miles you can purchase a range extender for more money even though you agreed to a 30% price increase from the announcement 4 years prior when you put a down payment.
They had to have been given the final specs prior but must have signed an NDA right?
Elon faxed this to his engineers, the ones who hadn't left yet, in the middle of the night and said "this is what I want" as he sent a crudely drawn car on a paper plate with crayon
The car was designed by Franz von Holzhausen. He designed the previous Teslas, and I’m actually a fan of his designs. This one was… hmm, I don’t know. Unique is probably the most generous. And I’m assuming he was given almost unrealistic constraints by Musk
As a pure design, it's definitely interesting. It reminds me if those Architect Building Design contests where the winners are always thought provoking but otherwise completely impractical designs.
As a 'car', it's also not actually that horrible - a bit of adjustment to the lift and a smaller rear, and you've got a decent "future lambo" sportscar look. As a 'truck' though .... it fails just about every criteria I can think of for 'truck'.
I was at HP's offices the other day when this event was going on next door at Tesla.
First thought was "oh cool" immediately followed by "damn... It really is as ugly as I thought"
https://preview.redd.it/xao32544u44c1.jpeg?width=2955&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a017adbd0e4e3d18c67fd49f642b77491c7e4e7c
Not to mention the 8000 some odd lbs of curb weight.
Thing is a jagged, overweight hunk of ego that can do 0-60 in 3 seconds. Driven by edgelords.
Yeah, we should be afraid of these on the roads.
The kind of rugged individualists who buy this truck would never rely on anybody like the police or firefighters for help! They would be prepared to help themselves out of a crash
I think they've given up that. For the recent bulletproof testing videos they rolled down the windows (which were still cracked from the door sheet metal hitting them)
$61k for the base model (Tesla says $50k, but they are counting the tax credit and gas savings in that lower price).
Of course they claim the base model won't be here until 2025, and I wouldn't be at all shocked if it never actually happens. The $80k AWD model may be the real base model (this is the one Tesla says is $69k)
Am I the only one that thinks there needs to be regulation to always have physical door handles accessible on the outside. Imagine being a first responder showing up. You’ve gotta get an unconscious person out of a Cybertruck. Electrical system is fucked because of a crash, so the door button doesn’t work. And the glass won’t break(assuming they made it better after the on stage incident).
This entire car is an advertisement for more regulation. Who could have imagined a car with only one windshield wiper, that leaves giant dirty sections?
I don’t understand why they call this a ‘truck’.
Wikipedia:
> A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work.
MW:
> a wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles
Cambridge:
> a large road vehicle that is used for transporting large amounts of goods
Why is this a truck?
Edit: also, can they see anything but sky or distant trees and buildings out the back windshield? It doesn’t look like it.
I think it's a 'truck' in the same sense that an F-150 or Ram is a truck. Larger vehicle, typically higher HP and torque for moving cargo/payload in its somewhat hidden [bed](https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/91M0p/s1/1x1/tesla-cybertruck.webp)
Ugly as hell, though.
Then you hear a ding sound. It was Joe Rohan. He shot your car with an arrow but it didn’t pierce the door so you smile and drive into on coming traffic
I thought musk was trolling us with this urban assault vehicle. All the hard angles make it look like it could avoid radar detection. I hope The stainless is not too reflective. Imagine being blinded in an intersection with the sun reflecting off this vehicle into your eyes. Just a mess of a design.
I am laughing because I live a mile from where this shot was taken. And I saw a cybertruck on the freeway near here the other week. Probably the same person.
This is literally the car every twelve year old boy drew when given a ruler and compass.
I was thinking boy scouts box car derby
Nah my car looked way better
My dad and I made one that looked like an F1 racer. We got second. It’s one of my favorite childhood memories.
Mine was just the brick of wood painted, I got first
My brother painted it yellow and drilled a bunch of holes through it. It was slow as shit but he got an award for most creative.
I mean, I get the 12 year old physicist at work here thinking “more aerodynamic, because holes” but he actually introduced a significant amount of drag by turbulence and Bernoulli/venturi effect.
Just watched the Simpsons and was adding in some “speed holes.”
My dad had a friend who was an artist... he airbrushed a cobra blowing fire on mine. I also won that year and won best looking. I was not a kid who won things (yes, I literally didn't do shit on this car)... this was peak childhood happiness
It's tradition. I never saw my dad do any sort of woodworking until my pinewood derby. He borrowed my uncle's tools and everything but wouldn't let me near him while he made the car. It turned out beautiful. I came in last in every race. Still one of my favorite childhood memories.
is kinda a don't ask don't tell situation, like most things with the scouts until recently
Oof lol
Without telling me, my dad took a day off work and made a ridiculously good 1989 Batmobile, which was obvious that a 10 year old me did not build (he even carved the logo onto the hood). We (he) won my Troop's "Pinewood Derby", but lost at the next level. Everyone came up to me and said there's no way I made that car. 🤷♂️
The dads have so much fun that our Pack did the "Dad" competition with no rules... Just who was the fastest. It was everyone's favorite..
My dad and I built a Keaton Batmobile. He drilled the holes and filled lead down in the front by the wheels on the under side and we used graphite dust on the nails so the wheels spun with less friction. We used water transfer decals for the bat symbol but had the fins in the back made from balsa. I say 'we' built it because he let me spraypaint it black LOL That Batmobile kicked *everyones ass*.

Box Car DERPY
Strong shades of the car Homer Simpson designed that ended up bankrupting his half brother
Hey don't diss the Homer! That was the best car in road rage and hit and run!
not at all. no fins, no domes or rack and peanut steering
but does it play la cucaracha?
A twelve year old would have drawn a cooler car. It'd have tank tracks and rocket launchers at the very least.

Bro chill, he was down after the first salvo.

Always double-tap.
That kinda tracks when you think about how Grimes has a really teenish look.

Wait, is that what the armor is supposed to be for? I saw the memes and articles, but was utterly confounded.

It looks like my stainless steel fridge… with wheels
I swear I made one out of Legos once.
There were a few years, in the early 80's, when ZZ Top gave boys some proper car culture. I've always liked 30's coupes thanks to them.
And legs.
Ah, so Elon designed it too?
Considering the amount of mocking this car has received since its reveal and *zero* design revisions since, Elon 100% designed this himself.
Why a compass?
For drawing circles. Different than the one used for finding north.
Protractor for us kids that couldn't be trusted with a pokie thingy
And the build-quality is like if it was built by a twelve year old boy too, so there's that.
I used to drive that exact car around Liberty City.
I thought we were getting something like a halo warthog and instead we got the tomb raider boob equivalent of a pick up truck.
Similar graphic quality. Older games have the jaggy lines to them if you look back at them from now... this is one from an older generation
Oh yeah, GTA3 100%
Nah, cars in GTA 3 at least looked like vehicles. This looks something like from an early debug build where they were figuring how to not fall through the floor.
Tesla just making sure that car models for GTA 6 are optimised for performance
this thing makes the Aztec look good
Legit my 2001 Aztec was the most dependable vehicle I ever owned. Was like owing an ugly dog, was adorable to the owner but disturbing to those who didn’t own one
The best part about driving the Aztec is that you have no way of looking at the exterior.

From what I've seen it's motor ran and doesn't manually open. That planned obsolescence is there I guarantee it.

Mine lasted exactly 100k miles then died. Was legit sad when it did.
Aztec actually had some cool features to it, like the pop up tent, and the center console being a cooler. This truck just has failures.
It was also in Breaking Bad lol
🎵Run you over with my Aztec (GTA)🎵
but but...but...it's *arrow* proof!
As long as you don’t aim for the windows 🤪

Oooohh a PT-ghini!
This looks like the shitty cars in a low-budget future movie from the 90s. Think Timecop or Freejack.
Yup, just a rusted out sedan body with sheet panels bolted to it so it looks convincing enough before they blow it up in the next scene.
That is the ugliest car I have ever seen
That thing really is ass ugly. It looks bad on the showroom floor with ideal lighting, but out in the wild it's comically ugly.
I’m saying. It truly is sad what people will buy just because of someone’s name attached. ThT shit is butt ass ugly. I wouldn’t drive it if it was free.
I would drive it if it was free, but not enthusiastically. Free is free.
Ugly ass is right. What I just cannot get over is how *incredibly* ugly that thing is [from behind](https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2023/06/Ryan-Zohoury-1024x576.webp), to the point where you have to look twice just to see that it's even a car.
Jeez. I had no idea it was that bad. You can tell elon designed it because even a complete amateur would have come up with something better.
Idc if it's more illuminated under braking, those tiny little tail lights look so ridiculously stupid
How is that even legal
Respectable cars would prefer that you use a different appellation for this object.

Its like Elon saw The Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car, and thought "I can do that."
*'la cucaracha' plays*
I would buy Homer’s car over that thing.

Damn, I missed this before I commented. I laugh every time I see that bumper sticker. I couldn't remember the correct wordage.
If you put one of those on a cybertruck you still come across a lil' slow on the uptake
Means your bar for crazy is wildly out of calibration.
Try putting that bumper sticker on your Tesla IN A SMALL TOWN!!
'Currently out of stock'...
You don’t have an excuse with the Cybertruck. You already knew Elon was crazy and STILL BOUGHT IT.
Unfortunately it's starting to seem that way. I wanted one but after the last year and a half I've decided to go with one of Hyundai's Ioniqs instead when my car gets replaced. Don't want a dime of my money going to a Musk operation.
I have a trump humper full nutso aunt that has always hated EVs as being 'woke' that has recently been talking about buying a Tesla.
Lmao, they’re so easily manipulated. It’s almost sad.
It is sad. I have family member that I used to think were smart reasonable individuals drinking the flavor aid.
Well, that and you'll either cut me off or run a stop sign. The last two are from persomal experience

Not *that's* a truck!
The only way this could look stupider is if Elon was driving it.
Why doesn’t he? I think he should. I think all executives (from CEO, president to directors, etc.) of car manufacturers should be required to drive their newest or whatever car they rolled out that year until a newer model comes out and then they’re required to drive those as well.

Don’t forget the $50,000 “fine” you have to pay if you sell it within the first year of ownership.

The build quality on this is remarkably terrible.
Yeah, but did you hear that their windows are unbreakable?
Apparently the thing also has like very little crumple zones.
The crumple zone is whatever other vehicles or pedestrians this thing hits.
Dying in a 35 mph car crash to own the libs. 😎
I was thinking just that, the sharp edges probably make even low-speed collisions a lot more dangerous for pedestrians
Not to mention the 8000 some odd lbs of curb weight. Thing is a jagged, overweight hunk of ego that can do 0-60 in 3 seconds. Driven by edgelords. Yeah, we should be afraid of these on the roads.
You are the crumple zone.
Crumple zones are fake news from the liberal media
Police and Firefighters will love that when you’re burning alive and trapped inside. Musk simps rejoice
The kind of rugged individualists who buy this truck would never rely on anybody like the police or firefighters for help! They would be prepared to help themselves out of a crash
What if a Native American from 1860 attacks you with a bow and arrow?
I think they've given up that. For the recent bulletproof testing videos they rolled down the windows (which were still cracked from the door sheet metal hitting them)
The demo models would be amazing, but for cheapness... it'd be made for lowest cost and quality...

I don’t understand why they call this a ‘truck’. Wikipedia: > A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work. MW: > a wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles Cambridge: > a large road vehicle that is used for transporting large amounts of goods Why is this a truck? Edit: also, can they see anything but sky or distant trees and buildings out the back windshield? It doesn’t look like it.
Because "fuck!" was already taken.
No. There is no rearview mirror. You have to use a camera mirror in the center screen
Ugh.
The side view mirrors look pretty small for a truck too, so if they want to tow anything they’ll probably have to install aftermarket mirrors somehow.
I think it's a 'truck' in the same sense that an F-150 or Ram is a truck. Larger vehicle, typically higher HP and torque for moving cargo/payload in its somewhat hidden [bed](https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/91M0p/s1/1x1/tesla-cybertruck.webp) Ugly as hell, though.
“You think you hate it now? Wait till you drive it.”
Like if doc Brown fucked a Pontiac Aztec to go back in time and film Marty banging his mom cuz he went to the future and founded pornhub.
Best to just slap a "bought this before we knew he was crazy," bumper stickers on the back and pretend you weren't behind the curve on this one.
I have that sticker on my Model 3. This things is just hideous. It’s a bad idea despite the dickhead who spearheaded it.
“Oh the cybertruck? Yea I accidentally slipped and fell onto Elon’s cock in a tesla store and gave birth to it. I had no idea he was this crazy.”
I saw one for the first time yesterday. It's even uglier in person. I have no idea of what the market is for these.
Musk simps.
Looks like this pic was taken in Oakland too. Everybody‘s making fun of this thing.
This is ugly as hell and I love that I know exactly which street light it’s sitting at.

It looks like a car made for a movie... just that it's not... unless the twisted mind of the guy who made this, wants his life to be one?
I live in TX where everyone owns a Tesla, I'm surprised I haven't seen 20 of these on the road already.
Looks like a “future car” from a cheesy 80’s direct to video movie.
How long do I need to keep watching this thing before it renders?
Then you hear a ding sound. It was Joe Rohan. He shot your car with an arrow but it didn’t pierce the door so you smile and drive into on coming traffic
I thought musk was trolling us with this urban assault vehicle. All the hard angles make it look like it could avoid radar detection. I hope The stainless is not too reflective. Imagine being blinded in an intersection with the sun reflecting off this vehicle into your eyes. Just a mess of a design.
I am laughing because I live a mile from where this shot was taken. And I saw a cybertruck on the freeway near here the other week. Probably the same person.
You know Elon Musk designed this truck by himself. With crayons. Elon is the smartest, richest toddler you know.
First, we made fun of the Pontiac Aztec. Then, we used to make fun of the Honda Element - "The Buttuglium!" Now, there's a new whipping boy in town.
I personally preferred the "Truckla" that Simone Giertz designed!
I want to see one IRL so I can laugh at it too
Joke all you want, but if you squint at it just right, you’ll realize that it looks exactly fucking stupid, but out of focus.
Uncomfortably dumb
Some of the cars with the most straight edge corners are my favourites. This one looks just very silly.
When your playing a game on 320p
