That window was a good precursor for Tesla's stock price today. lol
Just for reference.
...And to remind the "After sleeping on it" -crowd what it looks like :P

lol I don't think anyone is afraid of that. Though I would be scared to be seen it it. :P
I don't mind it. I'm not going to buy it but I wasn't going to buy any truck. I can dig the futuristic look. If you want a regular truck, buy a Ford. This is for people that want something unique, attention-grabbing, and cool. So many companies have concept cars but choose to dial it down for their production model. It's a nice change to see a company push a radical design as a production model.
Is thinking it looks cool as fuck but having absolute zero interest in actually owning or driving one a strange position?
like, in a vacuum they nail what they were going for and I think from a design perspective, that's cool and admirable.
But from a day to day practicality standpoint I can't imagine ever not feeling completely out of place in that thing. It's like the next gen Hummer.

The demographic of people who want something like a truck, but different, has proven to be an extremely small one.
Nothing strange about that at all. There are all kinds of vehicles I think look cool but would have no desire to own.
That totally makes sense. It's almost like character design or something in a game. Just because it looks cool for the stylistic approach it's going for, doesn't make it practical in the real world.
It's Robocop 3 on Amiga.
Like I always say, the future was 25 years ago.
That is faaaaar uglier than the actual thing.Personally I would have liked something like this, but Im not from murica, so no idea what would get them to be all over it.
The actual thing is like like what the 80s thought the future would look like. This looks like what early 2000s thought futuristic was.
I get not liking the design but it being worse than the 4 wheeled box Tesla has shown? That I wont believe.
I think it's the pointy roof line that kinda kills it. Other than that it grew on my really quick. Like I actually want a Tesla now lol.
Maybe it'll come back around? I know 80s in the early 2000s looked horrendous, but now it's retro and unique.
I think most of the automotive industry is just recycling the same visual tricks infinitely and cars/trucks 95% of the time look drab and unoriginal, so I actually appreciate that he's going in a different direction in regards to the look. A little funny from some angles but I appreciate what he's going for and I wish more companies would be willing to break the mold like that. It's fresh. And I'm happy for getting more gasless options out there. I'd rather have this than some typical looking gas guzzler for sure. And the price isn't bad. On board for the 80s future.

Oh no, the actual design is infinitely better than that monstrosity.
The real thing is sleek, minimal and completely unique.
That mock up manages to be gaudy, over designed and yet still somehow very generic.
Absolutely agree. I want my next truck to look like a truck. Not like the tumbler and a delorean had a kid.
I live out of my truck for work half the year. I will have access to 20+ amp power. I want to continue to do so and this would be the logical next step but not like this. I guess I'll continue to wait on what Ford and hopefully GM have coming down the pipe.
I want my next truck to be electric, have great range, and great towing capacity. "Looking like a truck" is not why I have a pickup truck in the first place -- I have a pickup truck to tow a horse trailer and haul hay & feed around. Cybertruck will do everything I need, and at a far better price and capability than Rivian or Bollinger are offering. And as of yet we have no idea how Ford & Chevrolet's EV truck offerings will stack up.
So for now, Cybertruck is the clear winner.

mmm it definitely sticks out more. The H2 definitely fit the modern design philosophy, it was just fucking huge and a status symbol. This thing looks like something out of a scifi 80s movie, which is exactly what they're going for, but it would certainly be a sight to see.
your gonna hook up a trailer with horses or hay bales to a cybertruck?
thats going to look so fucking dumb.
also check out Atlis trucks, they start at 45k
Sure we do, Ford has already shown off the electric F150. And since it looks good, you can be seen in it. Win/win
The day I see one of these hauling some hay, I'm gonna have to pull over, I'll be laughing so hard.
I thought it was ridiculous but I'm sort of into it now. I don't have a need for one but I'm surprised at the price and feature set
Not a normal truck guy though

gosh, idunno, something out of blade runner, hauling most likely a rusty old trailer with hay bales behind it.
you're only selling me more on the awesomeness of that juxtaposition.
What makes a truck a truck in American eyes? To my non-US eyes the Honda Ridgeline and say a Ford F-150 functionally peform the same role -- carrying and towing. Or is there more to it?
I dunno, Atlis seems too good to be true, especially for a company with zero track record. I filed that in the "I'll believe it when I see it" category.
If you're saying that this looks like shit and you at any point in your life have ever owned:
a) A Hummer
b) A Fiat
c) Any Kia that's not a Soul
d) A Hummer
Yall should not be talking at all. This thing looks amazing in comparison.

In no world is the picture you quoted worst than that douche box Musk created. Get your eyes checked.
