admittedly they do look pretty striking & neat right out of the factory, the problem is I bet they'll all look like dogshit after 15,000 miles, not to mention all the "this is why nobody designs cars like this" problems that'll be discovered along the way

lmao that thing is so offensive imagine being a designer at tesla youve devoted your professional life to developing some sort of expertise and the lamest man in the world hands you a drawing on a napkin, its called the "cyber truck"

saw someone speculating it looks that way cause they used very strong aerospace aluminum which makes is super durable but you also just cant shape it the way you really need to for a car

It looks like a shop class welding project where you only get a passing grade if your welded box can hold water. (I speak from experience.)
Also, how is this a truck?? I don't see a picture of cargo capacity so wtf is it even for?

it has a bed in the back, also 4wd etc offroad stuff, tho its supposedly not body on frame which is maybe the prime truck thing they say it has "an exoskeleton" whatever that means https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2019/11/22/tesla-cybertruck-uses-stainless-steel-exoskeleton-rather-than-traditional-body-on-frame/

i was looking at a 1990, boxy looking Volvo. These straight lines are seen in the Cyber truck. Its interesting to see the reaction of this stainless steel truck hauling freight with its 8 camera security. It sets a new standard for tough.— Grant Hendricks (@GrantHe62069356) June 7, 2022

the entire "look, it won't dent" thing is kind of dumb because if you're actually using a truck for work, nobody cares if the vehicle gets dinged up. the worst risk is enough paint gets scraped off that you end up with rust and corrosion
now, if you're worried about people throwing bricks and rocks at your fancy rolling fortress for... reasons.. then having a dent-proof exterior makes sense

My dad designed and made a couple of recumbent bikes in the late '80s that used 100% riveted structural sheet metal instead of a welded frame. Apparently he was 30 years ahead of the (nonexistent) curve.

For all you haters mocking Musk's future-tank, well, I'll have you know that Ignaz Semmelweis was the first to discover the importance of hand washing to maintaining basic hygiene, and he was mocked, too. In the future *all* cars will look like vintage 16-bit video game vehicles, and Musk will be counting money. Until he dies from a communicable disease easily avoided by hand washing.

i am a very very function over form guy and can def be won by proving the former. But that looks like shit, and surface deformations like that usually donât mean good things at all wrt design or production competence.wrt layout design, there seems a small market for a truck that is functionally truck with also uh, another thing (hello Ridgelines which i love). but here the skyhigh bedwall and⊠itâs all 100% wtf to this amateur.in a world where hummers became dick extensions i dunno.

I still think about the moment he introduced this monstrosity to the world and demoed its "indestructability" by throwing a giant metal ball at the window, which shattered instantly. Then tried it again and shattered the back window too. That was such a funny moment that I almost can't hate the guy completely. Few people get to be a part of such a widely broadcast, pure comedic moment like that.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 8 June 2022 18:38 (two years ago) link
It looks like there's a smaller car inside of it and someone stuck a whole bunch of protective sheets of metal on in, post-apocalypse style. Like Dead Reckoning from "Land of the Dead:"
