The Cybertruck is a fail on so many levels that I wonder why anyone wants one. It’s not a good EV, it’s not a good truck, falls short on price & range, is prone to corrosion, looks stupid, is totally impractical, and lethal to pedestrians & cyclists. The thing violates so many EU regulations that it will NEVER be on sale there and anywhere else that doesn’t like murder machines.
Remember, it was supposed to have 500 miles of range, accelerate as faster or faster than a Porsche 911, and have “Thermonuclear explosion proof glass” for some reason.
1/3 of those things sound useful as a truck. Having a long range while unloaded means it could have been decent for most weekend warrior/vacation hauling and towing jobs. But its actual range is closer to 300 miles, because the thing is absurdly heavy.
All the Elon fans insist that it’s the best vehicle they’ve ever driven, despite it having no clear design goal, and having a huge number of personal safety issues for the driver, up to and including the throttle getting jammed down due to cheap glue.
I haven’t seen one yet, but man do I wish I could, because I want to understand why some people are so in love with it. Unfortunately, I live in the rust belt, so I doubt I’ll see one of these rolling piles of rust for a very long time, as our climate will simply dissolve $100k dollar vehicle from under the owner.
I know this. And it’s why i wanted one. Thankfully the problems have allowed me to not want one. But if someone can fix these problems i will then want one.
I can’t explain it i just like how horrible they are
Probably help them make cars too.
Imagine how many model 3’s they could have made if they didn’t set up a whole new production facility for a 3 year olds drawing of a truck.

It’s the emperors new clothes.

It looks like a large appliance in real life, like an industrial regrigerator or rooftop air conditioner left on the side of the road.

“I want vehicle geometry that decreases efficiency while guaranteeing any pedestrian I hit dies”
It’s a terrible shape for a consumer vehicle.
