I think it would be fantastic if real, but it's probably not. If I'm not wrong, a modern car's design is governed by a lot of regulations, and things like lack of wing mirros and way too tiny headlights would not be possible.

I didn't know what to think at first, but now I think I really like the design. Definitely has those Blade Runner vibes that Elon Musk teased about.
I just saw a clip of the guy breaking the window... twice...
How the fuck was that allowed to happen

A totally bonkers-looking thing that looks like something out of an old scifi movie. Yes I like it. Too bad it's probably not real.
You know why cars like this looked cool when you saw them in movies in the 80s? Because everything else in the fictional world matched that aesthetic.
I am just in awe at how horrible this looks and how it even passed design meetings.
EDIT: The only impressive things about this are the price and the power it delivers.

Obviously no one is commenting on that given the nature of this reveal
When it looks like that, folks aren't going to care if it gets a million miles.
Kinda reminds me of the Ford Probe in the UK an American styled futuristic car in the late 90's here. Ultimately looked fucking awful and just not contemporary in any good way whatsoever. What the hell.
Cross between a concept moon buggy, a military vehicle and something from blade runner. The pointy ceiling will take getting used to but man it is nutty.
I got it...this is just a prototype exploration set of vehicles for Mars being colonised.
Space rockets - check Falcon
Space transport/landing vehicle - check Starship
Futuristic car design that sucks like the movies - check Cybertruck
Personal exploration made cool with futuristic - check ATV
Futuristic trailer for science shit to move around - check Cybertrailer
Next up from Tesla/SpaceX is the rebooted dome habitat, you guessed it, with a futuristic redesign and self deploying mode.
I applaud Tesla/SpaceX for the innovations and features along the journey until now, shit even the features of this cybertruck I'll congratulate but this design is what happens in the development room when you get too many yes men/brownnosers. Clearly they wanted to streamline manufacturing vs the feature set vs cost but it needed to be something more everyday and appealing to everybody to drive.

I think eventually mirrorless vehicles will be approved by the US govt.
Living in California its not like anyone uses mirrors anyways
I do not know, but the Roadster prototype has the same and every publication says it is not legal.
I understand this truck may not appeal but that 500+ range technology will make to the Model 3/X/Y etc...in their next iterations and my point is that a HUGE deal in the world of electric cars.
by virtue of it not being a pickup. Trucks have has the same basic shape forever because that is what a pickup is. That Tesla is much closer to an SUV or car.
Edit: I'm somewhat joking around. I get it technically meets the requirements to be a truck.

unless it's because the size of the vehicle that will house the batteries that allows it. i doubt they're going to cram that in the other cars.
Personally I like the design. It's future as fuck and it's about time car manufacturer's go bolder. That said, I have no need for a pickup or a car in general lol.
He did joke tweet earlier today that a pressurized version of the cybertruck would be the official truck of mars lol
Damn, I've generally liked Tesla design language so far but this is soooooooooo out there. I kinda respect the ballsiness but I think it's gonna be a hard miss for the existing pickup truck market.... Feels like it'll just appeal to off-kilter-taste hobbyists more than the actual folks that we desperately need to ween off of fossil fuel trucks.
How is it a pickup? A car's type is dictated by its design. A pickup truck is a specific thing and this ain't it. You can't just label something a truck because there is a storage area in the back.
